Its a hard fight to judge..... what do you all think??
I never vote against Joe Calzaghe, he's the man 8)
Calzaghe would destroy him.
Bet the house on it 8)
Calzaghe is too slick, way too active, has superior technique, substantially faster, and far more skilled than Pavlik.
Pavlik is much better than I gave credit for before the Taylor fight (I had Taylor by TKO) but Joe Calzaghe is in a class of his own.
Kelly is nowhere near ready for Joe yet.
I go for Joe by stoppage. I just think that he knows a little bit too much for Pavlik who I thought was very easy for Taylor to hit. Taylor would beat him in a rematch too!
Its a total mismatch. calzaghe in two roundsQuote:

Hmm I'm one of Calzaghe's biggest fans but there is really nothing at all to suggest he could 'destroy' Kelly Pavlik and to say he'd beat him in two rounds is just plain rediculous ::**
It would be one hell of a fight.
I would give Pavlik a chance in this fight he is a massive puncher and Calzaghe has a weakness getting caught with right hands and Pavlik does have great right hand.
He also thinks Duddy destroys Pavlik in 5 rounds i just don't take any notice of his posts.Quote:

I don't see Kelly Pavlik having any problem moving up in weight.
For me Calzaghe would take this one over twelve fairly difficult rounds, but that is on the basis of where he is now, and that could be very different in a few weeks time, after Calzaghe faces Kessler.
But for now, this is how I would read it. Pavlik would carry a lot of his power up to super-middleweight, but will also probably be more comfortable at the weight. Calzaghe's power has diminshed over recent years, as he's altered his style because of his hand injuries, meaning his emphasis is more on volume and speed, and less on his old power.
Pavlik would simply struggle to deal with that pace, as I believe Kessler will, and although he might land some big shots, and possibly even a knockdown, I think Calzaghe would do enough over the rounds to pull out a fairly comfortable points win.
Agreed. I love Pavlik & think he's the shit...but c'mon...against Calzaghe...there aint anyone around the range that I'd pick to beat him. Joe get's up for a good scrap & he's got enough to get by with the best of 'em.Quote:
