Pavlick v Calzaghe - who wins?

[Bomp]

For the 1st time ever I would might actually back against JC if this fight was made

I think Pavlick is young, fresh and has the power to stop Joe. I would call it 50/50.

Joe is in top now and should do what Lennox did and bow out at the top (although I think B-Hop deserves a rematch)


Thoughts?

I think Pavlik could stop Calzaghe, Hopkins hit him over and over again with straight right hands, so did Robin Reid and Richie Woodhall, the difference is Pavlik is a much bigger puncher than all of the boxers i just mentioned, i can't see Calzaghe keep getting hit with Pavlik's right hand. And plus Calzaghe is starting to look a bit worn out IMO, his combinations against Hopkins were nowhere near as fast or good as they used to be, and his jab didn't have no snap on it either.

Agree with this, if Calzaghe fights like at the weekend he gets stopped late on against Pavlik. He COULD beat Pavlik if he stuck to his in and out boxing, but like you said the speed isn't there in his combinations anymore and he wouldn't be able to outland Pavlik in close, he used to get away with this sort of trading a few years back because his punches were faster tyhan his opponents with enough sting on them. Add to this that his left hand hasn't been a legitimate threat for a good few years he's likely too be outfought by the younger man.
