how can Joe Calzaghe achieve P4P 1 status before retiring

Good post. But what happens if Bernard beats Joe to Pavlik in October? I honestly htink Bernard has a serious shot there at handing Kelly his first "0". Does that take away from Joe's career, since he fought Roy instead, or does is add to it because Hopkins beat Kelly, who Joe officially beat?
At LHW, I'd love to see Calzaghe vs. Johnson myself. I think Dawson is an easy fight for anybody right now. I'd favor Tarver over him, and Joe would probably 120-108 his ass.
If Bernard does beat Pavlik I dunno what will happen with Joe. The two names I've heard out of his mouth are Taylor and Tarver, so probably one of them. Perhaos he would just retire. My favourite would be Dawson, but its no longer that strong a preference, and Johnson would be good too.Comment

I agree Hopkins has a good shot at Pavlik, not that long ago he would have been favourite and we all saw how tough he made it for Joe, who IMO is leagues better than The Ghost. I just wonder though if Hopkins can do enough to win, even if Pavlik fights terribly he will surely throw and land more punches. If Taylor can do it.....anyway, if I didn't want Joe to face Pavlik down the road I'd be rooting for Hopkins, but he is, so I can't.

it will be interesting to see what these people have to say if Hopkins beats PavlikComment

The only thing thats predictable is you. I posted my opinion, both on the thoughts expressed in the post I replied to, and on the fights in question. Of course, because you don't agree with it, it has to be 'crying'. I don't care what Americans say or think, but if they say it on a public forum then I don't mind discussing it with them.
Because I don't like Pro Joe TROLLS? Oh sorry. Guess it must mean I hate Brit Fighters. Oh wait, I don't like pro Marg trolls or Pro Pac trolls and on and on and on.
If you think Johnson is worthless, that's fine. Why did Calzaghe never fight him? Hmmm?Comment

Hopkins is a BIG LHW now, as we saw against Calzaghe, and I believe he has good pop on his punches when he wants to. If he is to beat Pavlik I'd say it may be his best shot. What do you reckon, early assault or keep Pavlik at bay till the home stretch then try and take him out? That's what he did against Taylor.Comment
