    Calzaghe doesnt hold enough to beat Kelly Pavlik.

    Yeah I said it. Bhop was holding like a MOFO.. in that fight. He also use good ring generalship too. But Late in the fight when we all thought his leggs would fade he held.. Held so much he got a point deducted, Should have been atleast 3 in my opinion. Its just that he did throw a lot as well..that made the difference and it wasnt such a snooze fest. Poor Kel didnt know weather a punch or a clinch was coming and that threw him off as much as Bhops defensive Wizardry. Take nothing away from the living legend but I dont wanna see him fight again..unless its Jones ( a counter puncher) who Hops will bring the attack.. cuz if its someone who can bring it for 12 Hopkins will hold ala Hatton and Ruiz style.

    Call me a hater allyou want BHOP is one of my fav fighters.. I also like to listen to him talk about the game. He is so full of knowldge and is always thinKing. hE even gave Kel prep talk after the fight. I think he would make a good mentor and teacher..but he just holds to much for me.

    Kell could PROBABLY beat AA..AA likes to turtle up in the first few rounds,, that would allow kELL to T up on him.. But AA is strong, hits hard and is a great counter puncher. Interesting match up..

                It seems obvious now that Pavlik cant fight at 170 and above , why is everybody so keen to match him in the next division , Kelly is a middle and is about AA and maybe Williams , if you want Cal to fight a legit 175 fighter its Dawson .

                  Hopkins didn't hold too much and Calzaghe has openly admitted a couple of times that holding is part of his game plan, or has been.

                    Calzaghe wouldn't need to hold Pavlik. He could outwork him on the outside just like Hopkins did.
