I think the American pig will be crushed by the Welsh Dragon

Right now I would say Calzaghe UD, around 8 rounds to 4. Pretty much a replay of the Kessler fight. Who knows how much Joe will age over the next 12 months though, could be a different story by the time the fight actually comes off.

Calzaghe by decision if making weight doesn't drain him too much he should be able to throw his combinations and move before Pavlik can catch him.

calz by decision, if he doesn't take this fight he'll be

Pav by late KO. I think the workrate by Pav and also that of which JC likes to output, will put JC in harms way too much and he will get caught late. JC doesn't have the power to back Pav off and he can walk in throwing at will rather fearless. JC is better to stay outside, pick his flurries and try to outpoint him. I think the reach Kelly has will make it difficult to outbox him as I just said though, on the outside. Regardless of everyones opinions, I can't wait for this fight to happen. This, after the RJJ fight, is THE one I wanna see go down. Should be a good night for boxing regardless of the outcome.

Calzaghe will make Pavlik look like Lacy and I'm not kidding, look at the Taylor fights and look at Taylor's POOR footwork. That and Calzaghe's fast southpaw jab is going to have Pavlik off balance all the time and confused.

A lot depends on how the bout with RJJ goes and what Kelly does to his opponents in the meantime.
Personally I think that if Joe steers clear he will probably get a decision victory BUT i doubt if his pride will let him steer clear of a war which is why i voted Pavlik by KO because if Kelly gets close to him i feel he will wear him down and KO him.

People, Pavlik is not KOing Calzaghe. Joe has never been KOd in his entire career, and Pavlik isn't going to be the man to do it.
