Enzo Calzaghe on Hopkins vs Pavlik.

[C-Lo]

Here goes Enzo again...

Seems like Enzo is still scared of Pavlik.

Enzo's trashtalking is backed by fear and insecurity.

Gary must not hold himslef in a high regard obviously .

I can see where Enzo is coming from though when he says Hopkins has different plans. Pav looked pretty straight forward vs Taylor the 2nd time and Joe who has a brilliant boxing brain and workrate barely got past Hop. I think Nard may steal the fight with Pav by a bout a round or two just on experience.

I cannot see it. I see his only ticket to winning is by knockout early or cutting Pavlik up, which he can do. If he does not, Pavlik will get into the fight, throw his usual million punches and simply outwork him. How much Pavlik lands will not matter. If you got a guy that is 4X as busy and who fights full three minute rounds, it will be hard to out point him.

Joe throws alot more punches than Pav . He even landed over 100 more on Hopkins according to the stats yet still alot of people thought Hopkins won

100 more what against Hopkins? I still find it hard to believe when people classify what Joe does as punching. Pavlik throws real punches as apposed to Joe's slaps! If you ask me, Bernard will be more worried about Kelly's offense than he was against Joe's.

"He beat me, but he's nothing special"


Lol! He battered the hell out of me for three lopsided rounds, but he's nothing special.

Yeah really. Is this the best they can bring. Give him Abraham , Strum , Hopkins , Kessler , Calzaghe. I think he beats them all.

He might beat them but he's beating the Gary Lockett's of this World and lining up fights with people like John Duddy and Felix Trinidad.

Fight Abraham he's a middleweight champion and has a legitimate claim to being the best in the division but Pavlik and Arum hardly mention him - Why is that?

As well he should be. The thing about Pavlik and the way he hits is that it is deceiving. You see him throwing punches and landing, and they don't appear as yet dangerous but maybe could be soon, but...BUT...then you look at a person like Locketts face was 3 rounds in...and realize it was quickly being taken apart...a shot at a time. His punches carry damage. Enzo knows this. He saw it up close and tossed the towel. Otherwise we'd be talking about the Pavlik/Calzaghe fight coming up...not Hopkins.

He has a mandatory lined up next. Making this fight now is immposible. It will happen though by the next couple of fights. Pavlik will crush him inside of 8. Trust me. He will put Arthur into a defensive shell and pummel him.

[WelshDevilRob]

Pavliks fists are bigger than most Heavyweight Champions in History from recollect I think only 2 had bigger fists than Kelly.

I can see Pavlik winning this decisively if he's assertive - he has the reach and power to punish Hopkins but if he lets Bernard control the tempo and sits back like Howard Eastman did then Pavlik won't look good.

I think Kelly will finish Hopkins off.

Arthur always fights behind a defensive shell and then boom gets you with the counter. Thats Abrahams style of fighting - Pavlik won't force him to do what he does anyway.

Abraham has the better defense of the two easily and hits just as hard as Kelly. One has a dodgy chin and that is Pavlik.

Great defense and power beats limited defense and shaky chin most times.

In saying that I will be cheering on Kelly and believe he can win but I won't expect it to be easy for one minute.

Locket looked like he had a broken nose after the second knockdown. Great thing with Pavlik is is short deilvery for such a tall guy. He pushes that right hand right out and for pushing punches still packs great power. He has one of the best jabs in all of boxing. He throws it hard and lands it. Those stinging jabs really help him land the right and by that time you cant really see it coming.

It's funny that I chat with a few proffesional boxers(Legit) on my space and one of those being Gary Lockett. Gary Locket said this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You showed a lot of heart and determation in the Pavlik fight, You will be back bro just stick with it.

Who do you think will win out of Hopkins Pavlik, I Pavlik kills that fucker

Enzo knows the truth about Kelly and it scares the shat out of him. Calzaghe is great but I think he wants to retire with the big 0

Pavlik a dodgy chin? Are u serious? What cos he took a knee against Taylor after taking 4 or 5 bombs? Pavlik's chin is one of the best i've sen, he walked straight thru Mirandas bombs.

[El Kabong]

"Bernard Hopkins will beat Kelly Pavlik, I have no doubt about that," Enzo declared to Setanta Sports. "Pavlik could beat Jermain Taylor because he [Taylor] only had a plan A. Hopkins has a plan A, B, C and D. Hopkins is a different class to Pavlik. Pavlik isn't in the class of a Roy Jones or a Joe Calzaghe. I'm not sure on the round, but I know Hopkins will take him to school. Hopkins can nullify his punching power with his movement. Gary Locket said himself: 'He beat me, but he's nothing special. I know Joe would beat him.'"

Enzo has something derogatory to say about an opponent Joe is "ducking" to use the parlance of our time.....how refreshing, new, and different

Took a knee against Taylor? You make it sound like he elected to do it when in reality he was hammered to the floor and allover the place. Took a knee haha thats absurd.
Miranda was well weight drained and it has been well documented. Anyone who'd seen Miranda punch before could see he didn't have the usual snap too his shots.

Lacy looked more scary than Pavlik does leading up to the fight with Joe and Kessler would school Pavlik yet Joe pasted him.

I wonder why Arum has yet to mention Abrahams? i guess going by some logic that Pavlik is ducking him, yes, yes i shall drop down to a powerpuncher fans intelligence and now claim that Pavlik is ducking Abrahams. After all Hopkins cleaned up 160 before he left the division and he is a top 30 160lb all time fighter.

Guess you must have missed the Zuniga fight. Put it this way Calzaghe has depleated Uranium in his jaw and has been down 3x in a 19yr pro Career. Pavlik has been down against smaller men 3x in his 7yr pro career.

Ya shizz.

[TommyGunn_]

Enzo's a crazy bastard. LOL!

Some of what he's saying there is true though.

Edison Miranda was on the back foot against Kelly Pavlik and couldn't get any real power into his shots because he isn't good fighter on the back foot thats why most of his punches were arm punches i wouldn't say Kelly Pavlik has a dodgy chin i think his chin is solid enough but it isn't granite either he has been hurt and put down quite a few times in his career.
