I think Pavlik is one dimensional and would be a lot easier for Calzaghe to fight than Jones, but that's just me.


Roy is smart, he has a high boxing IQ, he still has SOME speed and reflexes and the rest he fills in with pure knowledge of the sport. He's spent but he's going to move better and be harder to connect flush against.


Pavlik is young, he's mentally weaker than RJJ in regards to boxing IQ, he's psychologically weaker, he can be drawn into brawls and is affected by showboating and any psychological warfare. IMO both Hopkins and Calzaghe would be extremely tough for Pavlik to beat.

All Jermain Taylor had to do was box and move and he would have beaten Kelly both times but he's stubborn and doesn't fight to the best of his talents and physical advantages and he gets too happy when he's throwing the right cross and loads up on it too much.

I think a sharp counter puncher will whip Pavlik's ass
