Calzaghe DUCKS Pavlik - Smart Move Joe

[Sir_Joe]

Everyone agreed last month that Pavlik wasn't ready for Joe at this stage and Jones has a good chance.

1 fight later (with Lockett, LOL) and Pavlik is king of the world.


AMERICAN HYPE.

The funny thing is - I'm 45 now, so I expect Calzaghe will give me a shot in another 5 years or so....

Well, it looked to me like the OLD Middleweight Hopkins pushed Joe around all night and definately made Calzaghe fight BHops fight, not Joes'. Calzaghe is not as strong as you seem to think, and BTW Pavlik is taller than Joe is, he would easily carry more weight into the fight if he had to go up in weight. However, Joe would have a hard time going down in weight, if he did manage to make the weight - which I doubt he could, then he would be even weaker than he is now as far as punching goes.

Joe knows Roy Jones Jr throws what - maybe 10 punches per round now lol, he just stays on the ropes now and lets people hit him. Roy is a SHADOW of his former self, make no mistake about it, that is why Joe wants him now, because 10 years ago - he wouldn't touch him and everyone in the boxing world knows it.

Pavlik may be easy to hit, but with no power, it wouldn't matter, Pavlik would just walk through a Calzaghe punch and deliver his own MUCH harder shot. If Hopkins can knock Joe down --- Pavlik can knock him OUT....

Outta NOWHERE!!

Damn doode, your really saying everything word for word as I would..
Good k man..

As I thought he would, Calzaghe chooses to fight an OVER THE HILL ROY JONES JR. instead of an actual "meaningful" fight with Pavlik.

Predictable, as he knows Pavlik is much more dangerous than RJJ at this point in their careers. But then, like I said in another post -- Enzo has protected Joe his entire career, and after hearing Pavliks' punches land on Lockett, he knew Pavlik would throw Joe a beating.

All of you Calzaghe nuthuggers should bow your head in shame, because even you have to admit Joe Calzaghe is now, and has been, THE most protected fighter in the last 15 years.

Having faced only 3 decent challengers at most in his ENTIRE career, it's all about getting a "W" on the record for Joe -- not about fighting the BEST fighters out there....

I agree that Enzo decided to protect Joe from the Pavlik fight plus he probably thought intelligently that beating Jones was more doable which could enhance the fight monetarily with Pavlik should he be the next fight. But I may put some real money on Jones jr in this one simply because Jones will be the underdog and still shows glimpses of his former self and he will be highly motivated in this fight which I think is what he needs to get back what he lost.
