Joe Calzaghe vs. Kelly Pavlik in The Works

[dino]

Pavlik will beat calzaghe...the hopkins victory means nothing, hopkins throws 3 punches per round at this point in his career. Pavlik is the hardest puncher that calzaghe has ever faced and will take a beating

[-Antonio-]

If he went down to a shot from Hopkins he'll go down to Pavlik. Who often likes to blind his opponents with the jab and then bam!

It's an interesting fight. If anything Pavlik will have a much higher work rate than Kessler. He's going to make Calzaghe fight, and Joe seems to feed off that ****. I wouldnt be surprised if this was fight of the year.

would be some funny **** if gary lockett knocked pavlik out lol, then joe takes pavlik on

That's right because he was hurt so bad, he got straight back up before the ref could begin counting and his legs were so wobbly he chased Hopkins around the ring for the next 12 rounds. He had to chase a fighter that had no intention of engaging with him, Pavlik will come forward, no crystal ball needed for that, taylor made for Calzaghe (ignore any idiot postings about Joe not being able to fight on the back foot)

He walked onto a perfect counter, walked onto it and got straight back up. Mitchell said he hit Joe harder than he hit anyone in his life and and he was up at three to stop Mitchell. He walked through every flush uppercut Kessler could put together

[Degsy]

understand joe fights in a style called the "dart move" its olympic style

boxing its where you hop on your toes and go forward, if your fighting

a fighter that throws one punch you hop back and counter all day.......

doesnt this sound famaliar (jermain taylor)

joe cannot fight going backwards joe goes forward on his toes and throws

alot of punches pavlik WILL knock joe calzaghe out because there is

no way in hell he backs pavlik up i think calzaghe is tailor made for

pavlik. pavlik is not 43 years old, pavlik hits harder than b hop, pavlik

also has way more stamina than b hop....AND THIS IS MO***ER ****IN

KELLY PAVLIK we talking bout, not no bum off the street calzaghe cant

hurt pavlik and he doesnt back up he just has ALOT of stamina he is

going to go forward and get hit HARD VERY HARD and will see how his chin

holds up against a real puncher.

Have you actually watched any of his fights???????? He alters his style to match his opponents; I'll take gladly take your points if the fight is made official

[MRBaLL]

I dont know if Roy is pricinjg himself out or not. But if he wants to secure his legacy he needs to make this fight happen. I cant even imagine the trash talk if he doesent get it after waiting over half a year.

Calzaghe sucks.

[Allucard]

Joe won't lose to anyone at SMW and LHW. He should beat Pavlik comfortably can't really see tarver doin much and he will bully Roy Jones. Anyone think different?

You people seem to forget Pavlik is 10+ years younger than Calzaghe. I want to see him take a bit of his own medicine. We will see Calzaghe start well and tire to get TKO by round 7.

[Scott9945]

I believe that Calzaghe is using Pavlik to pressure Roy into signing at a more reasonable fee. He doesn't really want to go back to 168 again. For Calzaghe, Roy Jones is his first choice.

[RichCCFC]

I hope to god Calzaghe comes in near to what he was for Kessler.

Jones looked old in 1 fight when he fought Tarver around the age Calzaghe is now. People DO get old over night.

Anyway, I wont rule Pavlik out but I got Calzaghe 117-111 or 116-112.
