Yeah right. :rolleyes:
Pavliks last two fights have been against a guy he previously blasted out in 7 rounds and a guy not even good enough to win a British title, who took the place of the fearsome and deadly John Duddy!!!
Now he is facing a Calzaghe victim in ancient old Bernard Hopkins - at 170. Avoiding Arthur Abraham and conveniently IGNORING the supermiddleweights - Kessler and Bute. All the while chasing another OLDMAN in no-hands Calzaghe.
Stop kidding yourself with the Kelly Pavlik throwback spiel. Pavlik wants the oldboys for the MONEY!!! He is no different to any other modern fighter with the potential to EARN. If guided CAREFULLY enough he might last a while. Fact.
Glad the thread is doing great maybe someone close to either man will see how hotly debated this issue is and make the F`ing fight!
One thing is for sure, the debates would be legendery!
I think Joe will fight him in fact i'd bet a lot of money on it;)
Pavliks men will try every trick in the book to bait him after he spanks Jones and i think he'll bite,then school Pavlik and retire even more of a legend;D
;D
He needs to lay off the white stuff..makes you paranoid too much of that sh*T..
For the record and as i stated before all i did was simply remove a reference to Paul Ingle being Khans next opponent
I'll leave it at that Denise;)
Anyway Missy have you read your comments today;D
My laptop is tilted hahahahaha:lickish:
And do you love Calzaghe too?
Exactly. Calzaghe gets a lot of shit for his career, but in the last two years he fought three fighters who (at the time) were the number 1 choice of his critics to face. 1) He HAD to fight Lacy, and he did, 2) summer of 2007 Calzaghe was chasing Taylor, and ALL the boxing boards had poll's, and guess what they were all for Kessler as most fans were disinterested in Taylor after his performances against smaller men. 3) Hopkins was next on the list.
Pavlik is a good exciting young fighter with a bright future ahead of him, yet he's talked up by some as past JC in achievement already????????????
Joe was ciriticised in summer of 2007 for chasing Taylor rather than Kessler, yet Taylor is Pavlik's ONLY win world level. We're endlessly told how Pavlik has incredible power, yet he had to land a hundred flush power shots to get Miranda out of their, something Abraham did with less than a dozen.
Calzaghe fans are told endlessly thread after thread that Pavlik would KHTFO, yet when Smash says something in the same vain in return he is set upon like fleas on shit (and apparaently it's us Brits who overrate our fighters).
you're spot on Fenster about Pavlik's opposition, if he wanted to make a statement he'd chase a strong supermiddle rather than a 43 yr old with stamina issues. I'm sure someone will call me a hypocrite since Joe chose the same opponent last time out, yet Hopkins hadn't shown the same stamina issues prior, and Joe is old himself.
Well said bomp...
They really don't wanna f*ck with the Smash
Remember that shit "goes off" big time while annoying little flies/fleas always get swatted;)
Why would he go to a division were Calzaghe beat ever one conviningly he is facing a man who in alot of eyes beat Calzaghe and made he look bad. I never seen so many missed shots in my life. I can not believe some of the punches they counted for Calzaghe which were not what i call punches. Some one here says Pavlik only beat Taylor well buddy considering that Taylor beat Hopkins in his best division and was younger Hopkins i say Pavlik win is pretty impressive over Taylor. I mean what is Calzaghe best win over a 43 year old Hopkins.Then maybe he might win over a 40 year old Roy Jones jr who has not won a fight with a top LHW in a long time so to me Calzaghe in his long career has not done best he could of. He while be forgot in i say 10 years by the world i say but hey wales while remeber him and i guess parts of the Uk while as well so eh. The only guy i have really been a fan of to come out of UK was Lennox Lewis so that were i stand i guess he only guy to come form Uk who was not a disspointment.
You guys are wrong: Calzaghe's best win is by far the Kessler fight. Beating Hopkins and potentially Jones is not comparable imo.
Kessler is a great fighter in his prime or near it, strong jab, technically sound, and a great resume leading up to the fight.
