Joe Calzaghe: "Kelly Pavlik May Be The Next Fight"

[Boofdatruth]

One possible future lol. If Pav happens to beat the old man, the bias against Euro fighters will have kicked in faster than a kid eating sugar candy. Pav better not forget about Abraham.

Fair enough, but key words..."RECENTLY".... But I agree if he does face the Ghost.. It should be under Joes terms.. he does deserve that, I will give him that... But then again we will see just how much of a say he will have after the Jones Jr fight... either way you are right, as of NOW, Pav should go to him and go to him with a 60-40 split... joe should/would get more.... Pav's still a baby in the sport and doesn't deserve more money than Joe no matter how many belts Pav has.

Good post by the way.

Yeah I think Pav owes it to himself to fight over there. It will only increase his popularity. I think the experience will be good for him and increase his profile and marketability on the other side of the pond. He is also the type of guy that British fans take too.

Okay, Abraham will get brutally pummeled and ****in squashed by Pavlik if they meet. Mark my words. Bookmark this, write it in ****in stone.I don't care how, just record it. Holding a title in Europe means dollars. You are ****ing ****** if you think Abraham will give up the title to fight Pavlik. There would be negotiations now if that was the case. He will make the defense and then they will talk. Simple, I have no idea why you don't grasp it. I thought Brits were ****in smart or something. I guess not all of them are.

Pav has never answered Abraham when Ab said his name. He has never uttered a word in response to Araham challenging him? He is going after WW's for Arum to helps with cotto's reign at WW, and trying to fight an old man. Fight Abraham Pav.

LOL, I love how Fat Yanks scour any Joe Blow statement to look for the slightest thing to discredit him.

This has been on going for a while. It's ok that PAv is fighting williams the WW and Cal the 36 going on 37 h.O.F fighter. Brand new Pav fans too lol. Bandwagon fans...lol

Yeah I can see this as a good thing for PAV.... lets forget about RJJ and JC for a min. and look at PAV and JC say PAV does go over there and fight win or loose I think He will get a lot of respect from UK community and if Joe retires and Pav gives him a hell of a fight regardless of the out come, PAV would have just made himself a international star, because I can see the Calzaghe fans looking at PAV (not comparing) and following him through his career and supporting him. I could be way off But either way I see it being good for PAV... I like the dude and I see him going a long way in the sport especially after he sharpens his boxing skills up... and I think a fight with Joe would do that.. win or lose the man will walk away learning something... and a Joe Calzaghe fight would be the ultimate test for him.. I would love for the fight to happen...

[Boofdatruth]

I hope Cal retires after the Jones fight just to see the reaction of Pav fans saying, damn, now he has to fight Abraham lol. I was a big Jones fan but I now know that he isn't the fighter he used to be. that is a winnabel fight for Joe, but not an easy fight. Abraham is looming. Cal better not sit back against Jones.

I hope Joe does, I don't know what to believe though and will believe it when I see it.

He does love the monies after all, and I'm sure the allure of one final mega pay day won't be missed.

I think the Jones fight could increase his exposure even more.

I hope Joe does this as either way win or lose I will whole heartedly respect him (a lot more than I do atm)

Yup it will be interesting because A LOT of people GIVE MONEY Mayweather **** about money and following the money and all that nonsense... but isn't Joe doing the same thing now...

Hey Im all for it I don't hate on him for that... I knew he would do it... i just find it interesting....

Acually , Abraham fought AFTER the Pavlik fight when he mentioned unification. Also, Kelly did mention him as a possible oponent on HBO after the beatdown of Lockett. Research my dear Watson, research.

The probable facts are:

1) There is no unification if Abraham is stripped for not taking his mandatory and that makes him tied up at the moment.
2) Pavlik knows about my first line so he is taking a dangerous and credible fight before punking Abraham out.
3) Abraham has fought basically only one live opponent. Period. What makes you think he can stand in with Pavlik? KO easily for Kelly. Chin or no chin, he will go to sleep. I would bet my bank account on it. Hell, Taylor would slap AA around too.

My only wonder is what you will come back with next. Any comment back will only make one look foolish.
