"HBO Should Have Forced Calzaghe-Pavlik," Says Arum

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

While promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank is close to finalizing a deal to match WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik against WBO welterweight champ Paul Williams on September 27, he says that HBO should have forced Joe Calzaghe to fight Pavlik instead of allowing him to fight Roy Jones Jr. on pay-per-view.

i agree with arum, calzaghe-jones wont even be competetive, roy was done 3/4 years ago,



i still cant understand why williams wants to fight pavlik

[MakeDamnSure]

If Joe wins, no one will give a **** about him or give compliment.. Calzaghe just wasted his life for this fight.. His resume and how he was taken care off in Wales was a complete joke.

Force Joe/pavlik? Yeah right like they force Cotto/Gomez right? F**k arum boxers do whats best for them and their family not for Arum and his boxers.

How about the Cotto/Margarito fight?

How about the Cotto/Margarito fight?

What about it?

[Chew BackAtacha]

pavliks over-rated, he's too slow for Calzaghe, Calzaghe in his prime would have had Pavilk for dinner

If anything, I wish arum would have made a legitimate offer to floyd mayweather jr as opposed to calling him a coward and launching this smear campaign the last 3 years since he was bought out. Did HBO force a ****ing david diaz ppv? Did HBO force a pointless morales trilogy? In the face of making money (for himself), it makes sense, but when something doesnt go arums way, he cries foul. He wont get any piece of Joe/Roy and im sure it dissapoints him.

Completely agree. Also **** Bob Arum, sometimes I just cant stand that guy.

for his cv calzaghe should have taken pavlik first and destory him, calzaghe tends to do that 2 one dimensianal fighters i.e. lacy! roy is a much harder opponent cuz joe has never fought n e 1 faster than himself! hopefully he gets roy, pavlik then ottke b4 retiring!
