    Let's be honest about Calzaghe's last fight

    We ALL want it to be Pavlik.

    Let's not go kidding ourselves, Jones is not a prime Jones so the fight won't prove anything, It won't change the records as there is still the statment "Jones in his prime would own Calzaghe".

    Did Marciano get any credit for beating Joe Louis????

    Same kind of thing with B-Hop, But he was atleast coming off two big wins at Lightheavy.


    Kelly Pavlik is the Undefeated, Undisputed Middleweight Champion.


    Joe Topped 168 - FACT
    Beat the No1 guy at 175 - FACT

    Now all he needs to do is beat the No1 at 160.


    Then there's nothing much else he can do.

    Maybe a final, final fight with Jones. Caus these to Legends kind of have to be put in a ring together.

      Kelly would have to move up to 170 or so, it's not an easy fight to make, but if the money is there, anything is possible!!!

        I'm surprised Arum would put Pavlik in with Calzaghe. I don't see anyway he can win. And quite frankly, I think he gets stopped. Just a bad style match-up...damn near a mismatch IMO.

          Joe could make 168 again.

          So it could be For his WBA, WBO and Ring titles.

          Seeing as he will probably vacate his WBC because of Carl Froch.

            The WBC might allow Pavlik to fight the title at 168, being as he holds the 160 version. I hope so, would be a shame to see Joe lose his deserved title to a fraud like Froch through nothing more than politics.

              Yep, to be the champion, you should have to beat the champion.

              Unless they retire, or are out due to injury.

                A fight with Pavlik would mean more right now.

                  I wouldn't mind if Joe faced either.

                    Calzaghe will slap Pavlik easy. Roy Jones is the better fighter and everyone knows Pavlik isn’t that good. Roy Jones will greatly add to Calzaghe resume
