        They both deserve a shot. Cotto obviously deserves one more. But what does one have to do with the other?

        You must mean the way it's ok for Calzaghe to fight whoever he wants, and turn down whoever he wants, and not for Mayweather to do the same.

        A better question might be. "Who deserves it more, Pavlik, or RJJ"

          It's straight forward, nice and simple.

          Kelly Pavlik has one title defence and has only beaten one former champion. He needs to build his name if he is to be picked over a 4 weight division champion, former P4p King in a fight against Calzaghe.

          Calzaghe wants the $$$$$$$$ at the stage of his career.

                Pavlik would be a very good fight, but it can wait until after Jones.

                  I'd love to see both fights happen. There's nothing better than two champions squaring up against each other. At least Cotto-Mayweather would be competitive, although I'd pick Floyd to take him out.

                  As for Pavlik, it'd probably make more sense for him to go to SMW - there's some good matches there .... Kessler-Pavlik would be a very good matchup and there's 5/6 fighters in there who'd clean up at MW.

                    Atta boy, build RJJ up as much as you can, try and make yourself believe he's not a shell of his former self.

                    I understand him going for the most money possible. But I don't exactly think he'd go broke fighting Pavlik.
