Calzaghe vs Pavlik = destruction

[withoutthee88]

I would have liked to see him try as well.

But saying Calzaghe is ducking Pavlik just doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe, maybe not. But wouldn't you rather see him finish his career versus a young, live body in Pavlik, rather than an old, defeated one in Jones.

old diminished skills RJJ could still beat calzaghe though, if he doesn't get the ber-nard hopkins disease and throw 1 punch per round. roy ain't what he used to be but he's still ****ing fast

I would have preferred a Pavlik fight but Jones still has a chance even at this stage of his career.

Roy will undoubtably prove he still has the skills to face and beat one of, if not THE, most overrated fighter in the game today. I'd be embarassed to have to look at my resume if I was JC to only find Kessler as my best fight in 45 and over 20 years combined with, what, 10 title defenses? Give me a God damn break on the Joe "Overrated" Calzaghe express. However he ends his career, I'll just be happy when he does.

**** Off.. You wankers keep putting challenger after challenger infront of Joe and he goes through them all. He fights pavlick and its going to be another Lacy. Joe deserves to make some money in his last fight so he's going where the money is but I wouldnt be surprised if he fights pavlick afterall.
Pavlick would be the underdog in any case and if he was the favourite he'd still lose. He's good but he's no Calzaghe.

Anyone remember when Joe was ducking Kessler?

Anyone remember when Joe was ducking Kessler?

Duck! Duck! Schnell! Schnell!! Whatever did happen to Jangeorg?

And remember when he was ducking Lacy? Lacy was WAY more highly rated than Pavlik is now.

Ah, happy days.

After a fighter makes it big he is usually flamed for 'ducking' the one fighter fans think could beat him, which usually isn't always the case:

Floyd Mayweather ducked Cotto? There still is a chance for Mayweather to beat Cotto, this isn't that one sided as many like to think

Pacquiao ducked Guzman? Pacquiao would probably beat Guzman


Calzaghe ducked Pavlik? Because Calzaghe would get annihilated, I really can't see how he stands a chance at all. Pavlik has good defense, he's right hand heavy and he throws sneaky combination's. He would destroy Calzaghe ether by a stoppage or round 10 ko.

you get the idea....

A long layoff for Floyd then coming back to fight a prime Cotto by late 2009 can spell disaster (Floyd ain't no Sugar Ray)

But I do agree Pavlik can beat Calzaghe. I just never saw the big deal with Calzaghe. He'd have to really frustrate Pavlik into throwing nonsensical punches, but he's become a lot calmer but still stays pretty active and throws accurate punches down the middle as well as hard body shots. I don't know if Calzaghe could last that long against a younger and stronger Pavlik. That's another fight that the longer it gets pushed back the worse it'll be for Calzaghe down the road if and when it happens.
