Joe Calzaghe vs Pavlik or Jones Jr

Why not just fight both? What's an additional fight for the nr 2 p4p champ? Fight Jones first, if he wins which I don't think will be as easy as people are likely to predict he can fight a more seasoned Pavlik. Jones has a better chance overall, smart fighter with good power and handspeed, just no legs but Calzaghe's pretty flatfooted himself. Calzaghe doesn't have the power to knock out Jones so I'm not even considering that option. I'd go to Wales to see it

I'd rather see him fight Pavlik for several reasons. * Joe looks better at SMW. * Roy Jones avoided Calzaghe before (argue and disagree all you want, it's true), but now wants to fight. Joe should tell him to take a hike. * If Joe fights Roy he will be accused of picking on old-timers.

Normally I'd rather see the younger guys fight, but in this case I'd rather see Joe fight RJ. Calzaghe is looking to put a cap on his career, and a fight with Jones would seem to complete it. Pavlik is just emerging as the middleweight champion, and I don't see the benefit of moving him up to fight a lightheavyweight. I don't think Joe wants to fight at 168 anymore anyway. If Joe stays in the game after the Jones fight, a Pavlik match can be made in 2009.

So this is the only reason, because of his name? Not taking into account that he's more ancient than Hopkins? I honestly don't think J.C can gain too much for his legacy by fighting a Jones Jr pensioner. Sure it will sell 80K tickets but i'd rather see him in there with someone young and hungry i thought roy jones is younger than hopkins. the pavlik fight would be good too but i dont see calzaghe going back down in weight so soon to face pavlik. that affects a fighters body so i dont know if he would want to do that. as far as fighting somebody because of their name, why not? fighters do it all the time. but i would like to see him fight pavlik, just not for his next fight

yeah roy is not the fighter he used to be but a win over him would add another big name, future hall of famer to his record. So this is the only reason, because of his name?

You mean had Jones been in his prime right. I'd like to see the Pavlik fight at SMW yeah roy is not the fighter he used to be but a win over him would add another big name, future hall of famer to his record.

Pavlik is my choice

I'd actually like to see both, with Calzaghe-Pavlik at 168 and Calzaghe-Jones at 175. I think the weight would be better for Pavlik to move around at instead of having insufficient time to acclimate to 175. Roy Jones also has a chance because of Calzaghe's lack of power.

What weight would you wanna see the pavlik fight at ?

I think against Pavlik would be much more difficult for Joe than against Roj

i would rather see jones and calzaghe. reason being is that joe is already at light heavyweight and why should he go down to face pavlik for his supermiddleweight title. hes done all that needs to be done so i feel he should focus on the light heavyweight division. also given the fact he would be fighting roy jones, another legend, would attract more fans than if he fought pavlik

Which one would you rather see? Pavlik for me For Joe's recognition - Pavlik. Personally - Roy Jones Jnr. Had Jones not lost, just imagine the scale this fight would be now, biggest fight ever.
