Joe has been cushioned through out his prime . He fought the great all time p4p Mario Viet twice in his prime? Why? Dawson destroys Joe. Kelly destroys Joe.


If Calzaghe, Dawson and Pavlik fight no-one gets destroyed and if i had to pick one it would be Pavlik that gets taken apart.

When Taylor boxed Pavlik, Pavlik looked very mediocre and Taylor only fight 90secs a round Dawson and Calzaghe fight every second of every round.

Ive said it b4 and i`ll say it again A GOOD BOXER WITH GOOD FOOTWORK makes Pavlik look poor.
I don't agree with this post. Anyway you want to say it: Beating Jermain Taylor TWICE is as good as any two wins on Joe C's resume. You can say he only fights 90 second rounds etc etc, but at the end of the day, Jermain Taylor is Jermain Taylor. Taylor is still better that almost any super middleweight out there imo.

Your last statement should be qualified. For example, at middleweight, I absolutely disagree with you. What "Good Boxer" with "Good Footwork" at middleweight could beat Kelly? Felix Sturm is a good boxer with good footwork. Do you think Felix Sturm would last 12 with Pavlik?

If Pavlik beats Bernard, I would step back down to middleweight and beat the winner of the Felix Sturm v. Sylvester fight. I assume Pavlik would be heavily favored in those fights. Then, go and fight Arthur Abraham. That is a challenging fight. On the one hand, AA's size and reach are tailor-made for Pavlik; on the other hand, AA has a wicked style.

After that fight Joe. Win or lose you make a bundle. If you lose, you lost to an ATG, if you win you are an ATG.
