I think there'll be a lot of money in a Calzaghe-Pavlik match if they let it build a little. Joe should forget about his next fight being his last and go for a belt at 175 (probably Woods). In the meantime Pavlik might have beaten JT again and another (preferably a decent name such as Abraham or even Winky). He'll be well established at that point. It'd be a similar scenario to the Kessler fight really and I think it'll do a lot more for Joe than a Jones fight.
The problem with a possible Joe C v Pavlik matchuo is that Joe is looking to move to 175, whereas Kelly might go back to 160 after the Taylor II fight. I think once Joe goes to 175 to fight he isnt coming back down to 168, and 168 is as high as Pavlik is going.
Eggs-zackree!

Once up...Calzahge aint comin back down unless he takes a beat down & Pavlik needs to stay down & own the property as long as he possibley can...honestly I believe that Pavlik would be a good representation of what we need at 160lbs...a new champion that's as dominate as Hopkins was in his hey day.
