    Why cant Joe just fight Jones AND Pavlik instead of being an arse?

      I prefer to see him fight Roy Jones Jr - because Roy's an all-time great, it will be a much bigger fight.

      Roy definitely has a chance of winning, since Joe doesn't punch hard anymore, and he looked like he's slowing down a bit in the Hopkins fight. Jones looked very good against Hanshaw and Trinidad, although he's obviously not as fast as he was a few years ago.

        I'm expecting an announcement to be made. It's pretty much the general consensus that they will fight.

          Perhaps he will. He hasn't said for sure that he won't.

          It makes sense to fight Jones first, since that will be the bigger payday and probably make Joe financially secure for the rest of his life.

            Yeh, Good point but it seems unlikely he will fight both.

            If he fights Jones, Ill watch for the hell of watching a fight, I don't really care for either but if he fights Pavlik ... Now thats worth a watch.

                There's nothing solid to suggest it's going to be announced imminently. Calzaghe's only just announced he's ditching Frank Warren. I can't imagine he himself was personally in discussions with Roys ppl whilst under Warren, that doesn't make sense and isn't him. It'll be a week or two at least imo, during which he'll be in contact with Roys people about perhaps a different slice of the pie having ridded of Warrens slice. I'll hold em up if it's this week, but just can't see it.

                    I never believed for a second that Joe would fight anyone else. When both parties want a fight that is going to make serious money, you just know it's going to happen. Pavlik can fight middleweights, he had nothing coming.

                      calzaghes main aim is to retire undefeated, it would devastate him otherwise,

                      jones is the easiet route to that and the best money,


                      watch video, above, hes having 1 more fight!
