    Roy Jones Jr. Responds To Warren on Calzaghe-Pavlik

    Roy Jones Jr. has answered back to promoter Frank Warren, who a few days ago in his "Frankly Speaking" column, said that his former fighter Joe Calzaghe should have fought WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik instead of Jones. Warren said that he tried to convince Calzaghe to fight Pavlik, but the Welsh champion saw Jones as the much bigger fight. Warren said that Hopkins' dominating win over Pavlik validates his pursuit to make Calzaghe-Pavlik. Warren and Calzaghe have broken their ties are now involved in a legal battle. [details]

    Typical of Warren to favor the "easier" fight rather than the better challenge.

      Calzaghe made a huge mistake choosing roy(not because I think roy will pull the upset because he won't), but because he would have gotten more credit if he had fought Pavlik over Roy. He won't get any credit for beating roy now. Calzaghe screwed up. Warren is right....

        I like that Calzaghe is finally making his own decisions, and I believe Jones is a bigger fight for Joe personally. It's an ambition of his to fight Roy, something that's been on his mind for about 15 years.

        If Calzaghe had fought Pavlik he would destroy him and STILL get no credit, as usual. People would say the exact same thing they are saying already -- that Kelly Pavlik is one-dimensional and talentless. They said the same about Lacy, it's "great boxing clinic, but Lacy ain't ****."

        Jones was the better choice. It's also being done on Joe and Roy's terms.

                Business wise, the Pavlik fight would have sold better just like Warren said. English vs America, and they both are white. Roy would have still been around waiting. I think this fight will redefine Calzaghe's career. When he loses, everyone will begin to knock him since there was not much competition for him to fight in previous years. But you have to give him credit, because now that there is comp he is fighting better fighters. These are the years where he can take his career to another level, even if he loses. Look what it is doing for Bernard.

                  Based on styles I always thought Pavlik would be aasy pickins for Joe C. I think a fight wit a past prime Roy will actually be harder on him than Pavlik woulda been.
