    I get the feeling...

    Joe Calzaghe fears father time, not Pavlik.

    All these interviews I see he always mentions if he looks good then he will fight on, I think he feels he is on a slide now after his last fight.

    I agree with you. I really have a hard time seeing sense in people's argument that Pavlik would beat Joe right now, Joe is just way too versatile and way too good at fighting that type of fighter. But age certainly may end up being a telling factor. As I have said previously, fighters like Calzaghe age very quickly. WHen you rely on combination and volume punching, speed and movement it can all go very quickly when you age.

      i agree. joe is not getting any younger, and i would rather hang them up if its time. only joe can say weather it is or not.

            Cotto was way too versatile and way better than Margarito but the hungrier more resilient fighter won.

            I see it lookign just like that except Joe gettign KOed

              Cotto's chin and stamina is questionable.

              Calzaghe's isn't.

                I think the Margarito-Cotto fight showed that Calzaghe is a much more complete and adaptable fighter than Miguel Cotto.
