Kelly Pavlik against Joe Calzaghe

- WBO,WBC Middleweight Champion with 1 Title Defence vs WBO,WBC,WBA & Former IBF Super Middleweight Champion with 21 Title Defences & Reigning Light Heavyweight Champion.
- Fight at different weight classes (1-2).
- Both Undefeated.

In a post interview Calzaghe stated he would fight either Pavlik or Taylor so I guess he figured one of them deserved a shot.As a Pavlik fan I would like him to clean his division out with Abraham as his last step before 168.That fight will be a war that won't go to the cards!

i vote pavlik v. calzaghe.

i think thats the MUCH better fight and its not like pavlik is exactly the new kid with no name anymore...he beat taylor twice...and thats pretty good because up until then taylor was undefeated and no one made taylor look so overmatched...not even wright.

Pavlik is the biggest fight for Joe.. I root for Joe to beat Hopkins, but when Joe fought a 44 year old man followed by a 40 year old Jones is a joke.. How can this be a fight for your life if everyone knows Jones is shot and done..

he's not asking which fight you want to see more.

he's asking who deserves his shot at the other guy.

resume-wise he _ricky_ is correct. (i think i just threw up! ha ha ha)

There is unfinished buisness in the MW division, I want to see who the real king is.

**AndyShitHot** · 06-26-2008, 05:03 AM

I would like to see both fights although I can only see one actually happening.

In a perfect world Pavlik would fight Mora, then Abraham, and if he win's both of those then Joe in early-mid 2009 in Cardiff. However Joe will be 38 by that time and imo it is totally understandable if he wants to retire before then and just the fact that americans desperately want to see him lose his 0 against an american fighter will not and should not stop that.

Both deserve their chances but maybe Abraham does more. That would be a good fight, to see who is the King of the middleweights.

I would prefer to see Calzaghe vs Pavlik, it would be a great fight and woul dbe a nice win for calzaghe to end his career on.

Who deserves their shot more?
