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

[THE REED]

"If jones wins who gives a ****" - arum

So its cool for pavlik to beat joe, but if roy beats joe.. who gives a ****


dude....... what.

[abadger]

You would say that... I wonder if Joe thinks that too since he didnt have interest in fighting a man that KO's everyone he gets in the ring with.... call me crazy....

The arrogance of some US fans is staggering. You really think that your 1 defence MW champion is the man to end Calzaghe's unbeaten run don't you? Never mind that your 'new Tyson' had his ass handed to him, never mind that a hard punching, unbeaten double SMW champ was given a boxing lesson, never mind that the Ring LHW champion couldn't beat him. Thats right, a slow one dimensional slugger a division below Calzaghe's best weight is going to take him out!

so calzaghe deserves credit, because SOME fans blew Lacy up to tyson?

no those people are idiots, lacy was an unproven prospect...

Kessler was a good, yet unproven fighter... unproven meeaning, who has he fought? it WAS a good win... but STILL, its not a main highlight I would want my resume to have

and your ring LHW champion was 43 years old... credit? sure... bernards still a good fighter... but hes 43.... how MUCH credit can you give..


it may sound like a bunch of excuses.. but those are all equally good points..

[Boofdatruth]

At least we can agree on that. All the roids in world won't help him this time.

Man, stop with the misinformation. The miniscule amount of a steroid that was in his system for the Hall fight was from medicine he bought over the counter.

haha you silly silly joey fan... Lacy this and Lacy that... You would swear Lacy is the only guy he ever fought, lol.... you think he actually beat GRANDPA HOP.... lol..... watch the fight and tell me you see an old man in there TIRED and BEATEN and just put in his place... when the bell rang in the 12th.. the old man was laughing, I MEAN LAUGHING AT HIM, JUST as the "WORLD CLASS FIGHTER" Peter Manfredo did... You think B-HOP was tired and defeated, I think not.... like HOP said Joe ONLY landed what 250 punches, and look at HOPS face... did he look beat, dis he look tired?.... SOOOO if a 43 year old can take JOE the distant and (Lose by a SPLIT DECISION) what makes you think a 40 year old cant, that is much faster than joe?????????

Yeah, you have an excuse for every fighter Cal has beaten. Who has Pav beaten that warrants what you are saying, Lockett who was a bum, and the overrated Jermaine Taylor? Tell Pav to fight Abraham, he called his name.

[Boofdatruth]

I don't think it should matter so much. Kelly's a middle, Calzaghe's a light heavy.
One up, one down and meet at supermiddle or as close as they can manage to make it a fair and sactionable bout.

You don't seem to get it. There is no catch weight whn you challenge a man. Cal is at 175, if Pav wants the fight, go to 175. That is kind of punkish to ask an man who is about to retire to move down in weight.

[WESS]

I let that slip, that just shows the knowledge of this simpleton... I didn't even want to bother, dudes a Sloppy Joe fan and will say anything to hype little joeys career... its pretty entertaining if you ask me... so let him speak his 2 worthless cents.... I get a kick out of it

I bet that fight will happen, I think PAV is trying to call out the so called "BIGGR MAN, OR BIGGER NAME" Joe Calzaghe, whats wrong with that???.... He has belts, joe has belts..
