    I think he will learn from the Johnson fight and he's a really wise boy for not taking the rematch, Johnson walked through everything Dawson threw, ****ing crazy.

    It's cool Chunk, we're all hoping Haye brings the Heavyweight title back to the British shores too.

      Now lets compare 25 year old Joe to 25 year old Dawson. No comparison I'm thinking.

        i've mentioned this potential matchup months ago, that pavlik is the only credible opponent for joe. both have different styles to wear down their opponents.

        both have tremendous ability to withstand the offense of the other and both have granite chin though i believe kelly's chin is tougher than joe's.

        and since kelly is the younger boxer, he seems more likely to succeed but i'm not counting joe out. if the fight go the distance, it will be joe, if not kelly will be the man.

        i hope this fight happens before joe hang up his gloves for good.

          Haha you said it man.

          Joe at 25 had just destroyed Chris Eubank who, Imo would beat Glen Johnson.

            Bob just wants his fighter to get the fight.. but if Joe wants to get paid. He will fight Roy..

            Im glad this fight isnt until november cuz is obvious is going to take a while to figure out who he wants to fight.. come to terms, and sign

              This is a good fight, but I think Calzaghe beats Pavlik.

                Better Move

                If Calzaghe goes out with a fight against Pavlik that will show a lot more heart and ballz than if he goes out with a fight against Jones. Jones is an aging, broken down, ex-champ who's chin has been tested and he's had trouble with southpaws. Pavlik is a young, powerful undefeated world middleweight champion who's at his peak. That's the way to go out and the people won't forget it if he does. He has a chance to do something REAL special.

                  Pavliks power is SICK.

                      It'd be a great fight but I'd rather see Calzaghe fight Jones first. If they both keep winning the fight gets even bigger.
