Thread: Calzaghe - Pavlik on 18th Oct

WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik's promoter Bob Arum says he is in talks with promoter Frank Warren in regard to a possible showdown between Pavlik and unbeaten WBC/WBA/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe. The target date for Pavlik-Calzaghe would be October 18. If that bout can't be made, Arum said Pavlik would fight two more times this year, in September and again in December. Adding fuel to the fire was Pavlik's destruction of Calzaghe's stablemate Gary Lockett, who is trained by Joe's father Enzo Calzaghe WWW.FIGHTNEWS.COM


This would be a perfect fight to go out on for Joe Calzaghe against the very hard punching Pavlik,there would be no better way for him to end his career than beat the younger more powerful fighter.Hope this fight comes off sooner raver than later cause Joe's clock is getting on now. Iam picking JC by ud.

I hope it doesnt happen and Pavlik stays at MW.

im from uk and i want pavlik to ko him, IMO calzaghe dont deserve to retire undefeated he simply hasnt done enough to go down as a all time great, only decent win was kessler, lacy was crap, hopkins was past it and he only just got that decision anyway.

dont really care who wins tbh, calazghe has done to little to late.

I hope it does happen at SMW. This will allow Pavlik to hold belts in three weight simutanously. The first time since Herny Armstrong did it at the lighter weights. I hope Pavlik knocks him out.

three weights ? 160, 168 whats the third ?

Was Lacy 'crap' before Calzaghe beat him?? I'm sure you were saying he was right?? like all the hindsight clowns on here that thought Lacy would smoke his boots

175. The fight is at super middle he would grab both if calzaghe comes in at 169 he would only win the 175.

surely not ?? you can win titles in two different weight divisons in one fight

Only if your Sugar Ray Leonard

definitely, if you are under the prescribed weight. And were not talking alphabet trinkets, which I am sure have a rule against it, were talking about the real world championships/The Ring.

Finally i've been fantasizing about this fight for almost 2years.

I dunt even care who wins... i just wanna see those punch exchanges

Solid - If Joe has any sense he wont exchange. He will use his superior boxing skills and speed to frustrate Pav and win points

Theres a huge difference between Locket and Calzaghe as Pav will find out but if Joe leaves his chin out it wouldnt surprise me to see him on the deck in that fight

but how can you be seen as the best fighter in the lightheavyweight division for example if youve never foguht past 168 ?

This will not happen. I hope it does though. My selfish, saddistic side wants to see it.

From what I've seen of Joe he is fighting an older man's boxing match, using his head and his heart to carry him to victory. Put him in with Pavlik at a weight somewhere in the middle for them, and I believe he would get brutalized. I can't see Enzo letting that happen.
