Enzo saying Pavlik fight will never happen. Pavlik does not deserve it.

[Bomp]

You're spot on about the unnecasary critique of Joe, he fights Hopkins and chases Roy (granted past their primes) yet Kelly fights Lockett and lines up a contender fighter (who should be 1-1 with another certain contender fighter that Joe was rightly ridiculed for taking on) yet Joe gets the shit.

I don't share your confidence of how the fight will go though, Joe has been diminishing ever so slightly every fight for a few years now, and it really showed against Hopkins, the speed has diminshed, let alone the long lost pop in his punches. He finds it tough against Pavlik IMO, a fight he would have got a comfortable decision in a couple years back.

The difference is Joe has one maybe 2 fights left, whereas Pavlik might have 20. It is less of an embarrasment fighting Contenders and shot guys in the mid part of your career than it is towards the end, cos there are plenty of fights to prove yourself.

That about sums it up for me good post.

Calzaghe's already proved himself, despit what you guys think, if he beats Pavlik it will NEVER shut up the doubters, well if they haven't been shut up already he could KO king kong and there will always be ifs and buts.

I think Pavlik's a great fighter, but there are enough ?? over his opponents so far for his record to be downgraded retrospectively. His win over Miranda already doesn't look so shit hot now that another guy did it quicker without taking a single head shot in return, and people were already on Taylor's back before Kelly got to him.
