He leans to the left. He leans to the right. He pulls his head back and to the side.
That’s what makes undefeated ring king Joe Calzaghe so hard for opponents to hit. Now, having conquered whiner Bernard Hopkins, Supa Joe is contemplating one grand exit, one more fight, either in London or in his home grouds of Cardiff.
From what Boxingconfidential.com is hearing, Joe C, Wales is leaning towards being a “Ghostbuster” in his farewell to arms. That may be good news for middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik and promoter Bob Arum.
“Joe thinks he sees ****** in Kelly’s armor that he does not see in Roy Jones,” one European promoter said. “Joe also likes the idea of conquering the king of the 160-pounders so he can leave boxing as the dominant man from 160 to light heavyweight.
Joe feels this is what becomes a legend most.”
The promoter said that this is Calzaghe’s preference but that does not mean that Jones will get passed over.
“Joe also likes the idea of legend versus legend,” the promoter said. “But Joe thinks he can knock Pavlik out or stop him on cuts. He doesn’t see that likeliehood against the so clever Jones. Plus, Joe does not like the fact people will say he is picking on an older man, since Roy is older than Joe. Pavlik looks like fresh meat to Joe. Joe loves the way Pavlik is so open to be hit."
Finally, the promoter cautioned that its likely to be a month or slightly more before Calzaghe starts making serious moves towards a November Grand Farewell Fight.
“Give Joe some time to celebrate and wind it down,” the promoter said. “Even Frank Warren has loosened his tie and is relaxing for now. While Joe has his r&r, Frank can turn to his other business.”
