Would Kelly Pavlik end Calzaghe's undefeated record if they met?

It seems this fight has a realistic chance of happening.

Yes i believe he can he has excellent straight right hand, which is Southpaw's biggest weakness and Calzaghe has been vulnerable to that punch against Hopkins, Reid, etc. Hopkins did shake Calzaghe up a few times and even floored him, now thats slightly worrying, because Hopkins hasn't been a banger in a long time and if Hopkins can do that imagine what Pavlik can do ?? and also Calzaghe's punches won't bother Pavlik IMO so it will be interesting one. And i would for certain rather see Pavlik vs Calzaghe than Jones vs Calzaghe.

Ive gone for JC for the very same reasons i usually pick him

I imagine he would be the much busier fighter and pavlik wouldnt be able to establish any rhythm in the contest which would lead to him throwing at times and enabling joe to get the better of his man on the inside.

JC by unanimous decision unless he gets caught with one of those straight rights early doors!!

It is hard to bet against Calzaghe, especially now since he has finally done what was asked and what he was criticized for all these years. He beat 2 top caliber fighters in a row, Kessler and Hopkins.

Calzaghe will remain undefeated if the two face off

I feel Calzaghe's been showing his age for a couple of years, and for that I think Pavlik has an above evens chance of pulling it off. Stylistically (doesn't matter how straight nd powerful your right hand is) come forward guys are Calzaghe's bread and butter, it would be a hell of a fight (competitive) whichever JC that Pavlik would hypothetically face, but IMO Calzaghe's chances fade by the month.

Quote me here and now

PAVLIK WILL FLATTEN CALZAGHE.

Pavlik is a fighter that likes to trade, there is nothing in Joe's arsenal that's gonna back up the ghost. And those straight rights, connect all night.

Yes he would. Hell anybody that knows how to judge boxing knows Hopkins already ended Calzaghe's undefeated record

I voted yes. Joe could definately win this fight, but I just don't see Pavlik being denied. He's way more of a beast than Kessler, and he's taller and won't get smothered like Lacy. If Joe's bike is greased up, then he could win, but if those wheels get a little rusty, Pavlik all day.


For the record, I wouldn't bet on this fight. I give Joe the edge, but I have faith in Pavlik.

That's funny stuff.

Pavlik would end Calzaghe's undefeated record with 4 solid straight right hands to the jaw.

he could but i think calzaghe would beat by UD.

So who backed out Calzaghe or Jones?

haha its funny seeing these same people doubting calzaghe AGAIN.. Pavlik doesnt have the skill too live with Calzaghe, he has a punchers chance thou..

Looks like joe is gona leave a few people on this forum with egg on there face again if this fight gets made..

I just cant see any one beatin JC from MW to LHW at the moment unless he is KO'd, he is simply a better fighter than them all..

That's a funny title considering Pavlik is unbeaten too. Almost seems like Calzaghe is underdog.

Age is the only thing that beats Calzaghe. If he's right Pavlik will get schooled.

Think you`ll find the majority of americans will opt for pavlik while brits and most europeans would side towards a calzaghe win.

One things for sure...it would be one hell of a fight and would undoubtedly prove who truly is the king of the 160+ divisions!!
