Joe turned down the chance to fight Jones, will now accept to face Kelly Pavlik

[abadger]

I swear that if he takes this fight and wins everyone, their dog and their dog's neighbours girlfriend will say that Pavlik was too imexperienced and was not really that good anyway and that if he had fought Jones instead he would have been KO'd. No matter how this last fight for Calzaghe plays out or who it is against it will play out bad for him with most people.

If it's Pavlik, it will be Pavlik was too green, not good enough, and was massively overhyped and really was just **** to begin with. Of course, if it's Jones it will be that Jones was too old, shot, etc etc etc.

I can't wait to see the excuses pop up for this. That's if he even wins, which against Pavlik is certainly possible but Pavlik is looking better and better at the moment and Calzaghe has slowed a hell of a lot and can't punch even close to as hard as he once could. I can't see him getting his proper dues unless he wiped out the MW, LHW, then went and beat Klitchsko for good measure.

They will say it, but it won't matter, because right now Pavlik is the highest American in the P4P rankings, their #1 in fact. Not only that but his an undefeated, young Prime Champ and a Ring beltholder. If Joe beats him anyone who seeks to discredit the win will only be making themselves look foolish.

Predictions for some of the various comments seen and to be seen from ppl on all sides with all kinds of motives. Either hyping they're guys opponent to make the win bigger, or dismissing they're guys opponent due to bias;

Pavliks an unstoppable monster.
Pavliks too young to beat Calzaghe.

Calzaghe beating a past prime old RJJ isn't impressive.
Pavlik beating a past prime old Calzaghe isn't impressive.

Joe managing to starve and make SMW again is impressive.
Calzaghe beating an in experienced MW isn't impressive.

Joe's not faced a boxer like Pavlik.

Sounded like a **** ****** novel.

[C'MONMANG']

This just shows everyone that Calzaghe wants to fight "the best" out there.

Jones would be a much easier fight for him, maybe too easy.


This is a total 50/50 fight.

mad cred to both Joe and Kelly if they make this fight. Joe beats Kel he's P4P
#1 ..even if Floyd wasnt retired, Joe bumps him..

[IMDAZED]

Sorry guys, I'm a huge fan of Kelly Pavlik but I don't see how he beats Joe Calzaghe. Methinks guys are getting a bit to excited over his sparring session last Saturday. I recall Jermain Taylor nearly pulling off a surprise the last time they met. And let's not forget that he was dropped and badly hurt in their first fight.

Pavlik is better off going for Kessler but I guess Arum wants Calzaghe now. Good luck...

Ha ha ha ha ha! I literally laughed out loud. That flag is going to be flying high come October I suspect.

BTW, did you know, and this is no BS that October 18 is my birthday? I literally cannot believe the hand of fate.

[johnm is...]

Great fight. I can't wait. I'll definitely be pulling for Pavlik. But no matter who loses, neither have anything to be ashamed of. Props to them both for making this fight happen.
