I think he might've. Styles make fights, and B-Hop was very effective moving away from Pavlik's right hand...Calzaghe is a southpaw and it would've been easier to do that, while Calzaghe would throw a lot of punches...I think it would've looked like the De la Hoya-Pac or the Calz./Lacy fight only worse because Pavlik's hook is trash.
Calzaghe had Lacy at his mercy and could not put him away. Calzaghe could not even take out Jones and he had him hurt, but still could not put him away.
Yes. Of course.
You were the only one who foresaw that outcome.
Nobody else saw Hopkins making Pavlik look silly before the fact.
Only the wise and sagely F•R•K•O•Stradamus.
Save your finger-wagging for a fight outcome where you actually go against the grain of a vast sports media and neutral fan consensus. Hopkins-Pavlik doesn't count as so much of the expectation invested in Pavlik was desperate hope on the part of his company and some good ol' boys. Hope often turns to blind expectation in those scenarios. Pacquiao-De La Hoya doesn't count, since you were betting in hope and on "principle", then after the fact, Pacquiao suddenly became some kind of Mayweather-slaying demigod in your eyes. Not to detract from Manny's win any, but when the much bigger man comes in a pound lighter than the pipsqueak on fight night, you know something's up. You were hitting and hoping, you know it, and far more astute observers of boxing than you have called fights utterly wrong on this site, so kindly shut the fuck up with the tiresome crowing about your G.A.Y. predictions and how you told some elusive, collective "us" this and that on boxingscene.
Bumberclaat.

Not after his loss to Hopkins:no: Kelly used to be a Slavic Euro bum but now he is just a typical White American bum:trink26:
lol.
I like Pavlik btw. Just throwing out what would have been said, if he was a Euro.
He has that one-two, upright rigid-style, which is ignorantly called a European-style. WTF?
Calzaghe would've broken every record for landed punches in a fight if he fought Pavlik. The referee would've likely stepped in after a barrage of fifty cleanly landed slaps.
Something along the lines of this will happen

And then probably get a dodgy SD for throwing a record amount of Slaps... i mean... "Punches".
It will probably happen once Pavlik reaches the magical age of 40, where according to Calzaghe fans, will be his Prime.
Oh yes, thank you for pointing that out.
Yes, if Calzaghe fought Pavlik, Calzaghe would win a landslide UD, similar to Hopkins' win over Pavlik.
Hahaha ok thank you for clearing that up.
No at this point he would not have stopped him but he'd probably win a landslide UD similar to Hopkins. Pavlik apparently has problems with fighters who actually move.
I hope you mean Hopkins' win over Pavlik, not Calzaghe's "win" over Hopkins.
Calzaghe's hands have gone, he can't but the power into his shots like he could as a 30 year old.
So no but he would have beat him easily, maybe not as easy as BHop did, because BHop fought the perfect fight but easily.
since when did it become easier for southpaws to evade right hands than orthodox fighters? southpaws are vulnerable to right hands. calzaghe is not stopping pavlik unless he gets the judge that did the manfredo fight....
change ya name to boxing 101....good poost man. It takes a B-hop dude to school the youngins.
I don't think Joe can stop many elite opponents these days.
Like Hopkins, like a young Chad Dawson, like Jermaine Taylor. Those guys don't stop people either and actually look less like doing it than Calzaghe. Weird.
Joe most probably wins via wide decision.
I like Pavlik's style. But vs Calzaghe, I reckon he woulda been more busy covering, blocking Joe's rain of leather, rather than throwing his bombs.
Cal woulda got cocky when he hit Kelly a couple of good slaps, come in sloppy (clownin' like he did w/washed up RJJ)and got ktfo w/a straight counter right.
I'm not saying he would be on queer street but...the accumulation of punches and volume would get to Pavlik.... Jones has better defense than Pavlik. Also the fight would prob be at like 170 so the extra weight kills Pavlik to begin with. I guarantee another embarassment for Pavlik if the fight ever happens.
