Calzaghe will finish on a high - Enzo
07 January 2008
Father and trainer Enzo said: "The road has been long, and we're getting to the final hurdle. He will not, under any circumstances, fail on the last hurdle.
"As long as Joe turns up as Joe Calzaghe at the top of his game, I've got no problems."
Calzaghe senior believes his son's determination to finish his career without a defeat could make the difference.
"As far as Joe is concerned, he's after one thing only. He wants to retire undefeated. That's the key, the passion, his goal to be undefeated," added Enzo. "It's the dream he's always had.
"Roy's a great fighter; I've nothing bad to say about him. He's a guy I've admired for 10 years; he's 'walked the walk and talked the talk'; he's done it. But I will question only one thing.
"When it hits the fan, when his heart is going to be searched and his mind questioned, will he come up short? I think against Joe Calzaghe he will.
"He's the same class as Joe. But will he find that extra bit of zest, that extra bit of passion, that goal that's in front of him to say 'I will not be defeated, I will go down 10 times but I'll get up'."
