Totally agree with Jack...maybe not totally...but I agree basically.
Being a fan of both...I can honestly say that Joe needs to put up & shut up.
If Pavlik's such a walk in the park...put on your hip boots & get deep in the muck because honestly...it aint gonna be that easy.
In the end...I believe in Joe & feel that he would win...but Kelly's got rocks in his gloves & Joe tasted canvas against my FOAT when the Nard dropped him & that aint a great sign.
Wackos back :o
If this fight gets signed, the smack talking is gonna be good stuff.
I can't imagine what the drbr for Calzaghe Vs B-Hop would be like...I had B-Hop by like a point.Quote:

A pavlik fight at this time is a huge risk for Joe, the Calzaghe of a couple years ago would win a comfortable decision IMO, but the lethargic version against Hopkins would be in for a real tough fight, it would be a real risk to his legacy considering if he were to win Pavlik's stock would be downgraded retrospectively.
I would personally hold a W over Kelly as huge for Joe, but many fans are already pointing out deficiencies in Pavlik's game (slow footed, 1 dimensional, and unproven above middle). I think Pavlik's a brilliant fighter, and while there is some truth about his slow feet, his other attributes (Power, strength, reach, awsome jab, determination) more than make up for it. I believe a lot of fans are weary of jumping on a bandwagon nowadays in case they look stupid like they did with Lacy.

I'd see this as an easy night work for Joe if im honest!
I got big BIG respect for Kelly but his manager is a gobshite who NO-ONE in boxing circles has a good word to say about.
Sounds like Jack Loew is mouth of the month. Was Enzo last.

Hi Enzo. :wavey:
Joe is 36 , his skills not what they once were, is undefeated and looking for a final huge pay day - which he deserves.
Ask yourself this - if you were Joe what would you do
I know what I would do:)
NB - I used to slag Joe off regularly up to a couple of years back when he took easy fights so am in no way a massive fan (but am a fan;))

Now...as to what I would do were I Calzaghe...I'd, first & foremost, fight RJJ. No matter what anyone says...that's the most marketable fight for him right now.
RJJ has had a bit of a career booster of late with his wins...even being over C+ grade fighters. He's worked his way up to the front of the line again & has become more than just a shade of his former self. He's making noise at 168lbs & 175 respectively.
Pavlik on the other hand is a star at 160lbs. He has'nt beaten a legit (no slight to Lockett) 168'er or 175'er yet.
No if's, and's, or buts!
