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

cant ****in believe this its a classic exmaple of casual fans who dont know **** about boxing but follow the hype and swallow it like no tommorow. pavlik is strong but his punches dont have the one punch KO that pantera or kessler have, puavlik relies on stamin and his strength he wears down his opponent with punches and then finshes them off.
do you really believe that calzaghe is going to be intimdated by a lanky streak of p!55 like pavlik?!?! g.foreman said in the build up to the hopkins fight that joe has such a calm demeanor and is so confident without being ****y. build-ups to big fights dont affect him like they affect other fighters.
do you really think that calzaghe has never faced a monster puncher before - look at lacey or kessler any normal fighter watching their highlight reels would **** themselves but not joe he went out there and took care of buisness.
the one thing i will say for pavlik is that becausehis punches are cumulative, he might wear joe down by going to the body which is something that no-one has really done with calzaghe - then again bear in mind that pavlik is taller than joe and may have trouble landing to calzaghes body. even if he does calzaghe has an iron will to win and a real warrior attitude even if pavlik lands i dont see calzaghe going down.
pavlik brings nothing to the table that joe has not seen before - he is a copy of kessler (tough, durable, strong, young, power, strength etc) although with better reach and less power. i can see calzaghe's adaptability once again winning him the fight, the guy is just too smart.
pavlik will only win in 2 scenario's:
1) cumulative power punchers (ala hatton and pavlik) do go to the ody more often than one punch KO artists like kessler and lacey so maybe just maybe pavlik will tag joe properly and drop him - i doubt it but it could happen
2) joe gets complacent as pavlik isn't really a challenge for him imo, hes too much like kessler, if i was calzaghe i would get myself up for this by constantly reminding myself that i needed to win in order to finally gain some respect recognition and long over-due credit.
calzaghe enjoys a challenge and thats why he was looking for RJJ, who has the tools to beat joe, thats why i was looking forward to watching calzaghe vs RJJ - it would have been the sweet science at its very best. it would have been interesting to see how calzaghe adpated against a faster opponent - which is something that hes never come across before.

Yes he does, he wants the easy fight roy!!! Cause he is a coward and his fan base only consists of people from Wales now. Look he has 1,000 fans since thats like the population of wales, probably even less then that because I've talked to people from wales online and not everyone knows who calzaghe is there. HAHAHAHA!!!Comment
