    Calzaghe can actually box for 12 rounds unlike Taylor.

    So I go with Calzaghe by UD.

      Pavlik is weak against flurries, which happens to be what Joe is very good at. Joe would school him, however Pavlik only needs one good shot to change the fight. I still think Joe would beat him though.

        This could be a great fight as well. The combination punching of Calzaghe could effect the slower Pavlik and not give him time to get off his punches. The thing is though Calzaghe with his hand troubles could break his hand and that would present him problems. Plus nobody has seemed to take Pavlik's punches over a period of time. He wore down both Miranda and Taylor to KO victories in the 7th. I still feel though Calzaghe will use his hand speed to his advantage and win a close SD. Even though I wouldn't be totally suprised by a Pavlik KO sometime in the middle to late rounds like he usually does.

But once agian a guy who's not accustomed to not getting hit will be in trouble once he finally does. Because Pavlik works behind the jab.
          Although this is becoming more true, how many Calzaghe fights have you seen?

          And Joe can take a shot.

            Twice. Each time he was back up at the count of 3.

              I would rather see Pavlik-Allen Green first.

              CalSlappy doesn't have the power to hurt Kelly.

                Yet the infamous power-puncher Jermain Taylor almost took him out.

                  Everybody's getting too hyped up about Kelly's KO of Taylor.
                  He's good, but I don't think he is ready (yet) , for the skills
                  , power, and chin of Joe.

                    Can't see this fight happening myself. If it did Calzaghe would win IMO.

                    Calzaghe will move up a weight when he beats Kessler.

                      Calzaghe by career breaking victory.

                      Seriously, this would be a nightmare for Pavlik. He's much better off staying at 160 and building a legacy than trying to mix with Calzaghe. Mind you, if he gives Taylor a rematch I can see him losing again straight away .. for my money Taylor was way ahead on points (for the first time in a long time the judges had it pretty much as I did) and am amazed how many had it for Pavlik.
