Kelly Pavlik's next fight,his last at 160...

[El Gamo]

“I would definitely move up to 168. It's getting too hard to make the weight (at middleweight) as it is. I want to win my world title at middleweight. It’s something I put a long time into. Almost all my time in boxing,” Pavlik said. “Once we win that world title, we'll move up to 168 and take care of business up there.”

When asked about possible encounters with Bernard Hopkins and Winky Wight, who collide in a July pay-per-view at a catch-weight of 170-pounds, Pavlik seemed to only be interested in fighting them if a challenge was thrown his way.

“There is always good if you can beat a guy like Bernard Hopkins or a Winky Wright. But then you sit there and turn around and people say 'what are you fighting these guys for, they ain't the same fighters anymore.’ Unless they throw a challenge out there, I'll take it. Other than that, I'll take care of the champions first right in front of me. After I take care of that, if these guys want to challenge (I'll fight), but right now that's kind of out of the question,” Pavlik said.


Who would you like to see him fight? If he carries his power,his style would be a nightmare for most of the guys there!

Think Calzaghe would take this guy 2 the cleaners..

I think you mean... After the fight Joe will be taking Kelly's clothes to the cleaners

Doubt it... The kid has a dynamite right and throws straight crisp punches, Pavlik has a concrete beard and is very determined... Calzaghe would have to commit more to his punches to back this guy off and he would break his twigs in the process......  Pavlik is a 1 punch concussive hitter, sooner or later he will land

Agreed Calzaghe's punches are like what my girl would do slapping punches Calzaghe looks for volume now and doesn't commit and i reckon he would break his hands vs Pavlik and Pavlik would probably stop Calzaghe now let the Calzaghe fans give me good telling off.

not got the technical skill to take on calzaghe, he'd be lucky to win 3 rounds against JC

[Memphis]

Im sorry but beating a very limited yet strong Edison Miranda does nothing to suggest that he would stand a chance with Calzaghe.

And i suppose Robin Reid had great technical skill

You're sorta right, Calzaghe would go 3 rounds and then the ref would call it TKO
after Calzaghe lands an inneffective flurry.

[gudnite vienna]

so he had 1 close fight in 43 everyone has an off nite, i think you'll agree

I think its a matter of how much this kid imposes his will and can back you up.... Some might bring up Lacy as being strong and he is, but he dosent throw straight helacious power shots like Pavlik does.

As I stated earlier, Calzaghe would be fighting on his back foot and would have to commit more to his punches and he cant anymore....

Its because Calzaghe hasn't fought anyone really of any threat to him.

[gudnite vienna]

what every fighter in his division for ten years is not a threat. not his fault he has been a class above the rest for a decade

Well he still hasn't fought anyone great not one and if its due to them ducking him or Calzaghe ducking them or division has been weak doesn't matter still the same

[Majesty]

ok so when Taylor beats him he'll say its because of the weight now right?

I HIGHLY doubt Pavlik is going to use excuses,he doesn't come across as that type of character.

As for Kelly JC,why would Kelly do any better than Lacy? I'm not saying thats how the fight would go but just a question. How many punches did JC land on Jeff and he didn't break his hands?>/

And how about Pavlik v some of the other guys at 168? I'd LOVE TO SEE PAVLIK V Librado Andrade for a bloody war!!!!
