    I'm suggesting it's not out of question for Pavlik to KO Joe.

      I don't see a Calzaghe/Pavlik fight as one sided at all. It would be two damn good fighters with contrasting (but exciting) styles. An even match up. Personally it's the only fight I'd like to see Calzaghe makes before he retires - and for Pavlik is a no lose situation as he could keep his MW titles safe and fight Joe at 168.
      I see Joe having difficulties making 168 which would affect his speed and stamina. If that happens, I'd say Pavlik by decision. I don't see a knockout happening in this fight.

        Joe would make 168 no problem. Especially if it was to fight a prime fighter like Pavlik. He's fought hard to make the weight for years, so 1 or 2 more fights won't faze him at all.

          Who said he did?

            I'm not sure byron mitchell would agree with that ......when he needs to jc can ****.

              really? I dont doubt that Calzaghe could make the weight for a big fight, but Ive heard he really has had to work to make weight at Super middle.

              I think that Rocketman fellow said so once. but I could be wrong.

                I been seeing alot of people on here saying Joe could or would KO Kelly so i'm saying Pavlik hits way ****ing harder than Joe and that he could possibly KO Joe.

                I guess next time i'll spell it out for you guys a little more.

                  IMO the only thing Calzaghe has over Pavlik is activity and maybe a few pounds of weight. If this fight gets made, my points go on Pavlik. Still, I'm not saying Joe can't decision this fight, but KO...hell no.
