One thing you will never hear anyone say about Kelly Pavlik...

[dstew]

Actually, Joe was on the radio last night saying that Pavlik has ducked him twice, once when Jow wanted him as a tune up instead of Bika and another time after one of the Taylor fights, didn't say which. So whether its true or not, you do hear people say it. Please realise as well that its only since Joe made it clear he was going to fight Jones that Kelly's people have been saying he wants Calzaghe.

I think right now Pavlik is pretty much ducking Abraham, I haven't heard a word about the Armenian out of his mouth since Arthur decimated Miranda, and straight after Lockett when Max Kellerman basically told him that Abraham was his only meaningful fight, Kelly basically said he wasn't going to fight him.

"I want to be undisputed middleweight champion then move on up," Pavlik said. "I could go back down to 160 pounds. If the fight opens up with Arthur Abraham, everyone is demanding that right now.

"It's good going up to 170 right now; I'm not killing my body trying to make 160 back-to-back. So when I go back down to 160 it will be a great fight with Abraham. He is the big name out there right now besides Calzaghe and Hopkins."

Hadn't heard that, I hope he means it.

yeah he does he's not like calzaghe who says he wants to fight someone then retires.

[warp1432]

Now that's just ******.

Well technically you could say God was just protecting him from getting exposed. God didn't want to make the same mistake he did with adam and eve. Look what happened to them when they stepped up.

Did you have to hit him low like that

Pavlik also mentioned Calzaghe's name immediately after his fight with Lockett, in the post-fight interview, which was well before Enzo was dead-set on Jones. So your comment about Kelly not chasing Calzaghe until the RJJ fight was settled on also isn't entirely accurate.

But maybe a little bit accurate?

Even from the likes of Manfredo which I thought was quite funny at the time , Joe has never been rated a hard puncher from anybody but his fans , Bika told a friend of mine personally that Joe dont hit hard at all he described Joe as a spoiler .
