Calzaghe will move and counter and just eat Pavlik up....I think Kelly is a limited fighter when it comes to judging his skills other than his power. The BEST fighters Pavlik has beaten (Miranda and Taylor) were drawn into brawls and subsequently lost....Joe Calzaghe is too smart to be forced into a brawl and his hands are fast enough to do real damage to Pavlik.


Calzaghe wins by late stoppage....you can't fight the way Pavlik fights and stick around for a long time
You are kidding about the size I hope. Pavlik is a monster at 6'2.5" 76 inch wing span . He runs around 180 lbs between fights.He has a 25 inch arm length. Not to mention his power over him. His chin over him. He throws alot of punches and no one really has ever stood in and traded with him. You can say Miranda did for a while then he felt the power and was pushed back into the ropes. I think there is not a middle wieght in the world that can stand in and trade power shots with Kelly. He is a machine.
