it should have been so different with joe.....thats whats turned me against him, all his talk over the years has been just that, sad because he should be a household name from 8 years ago
Youre right, it shouldve been done years ago...im NOT HAPPY that it wasnt done years ago either.

But i dont think its joe's fault tbh, i think its frank warren's fault.

Look at amir khan now, hes had a few fights, now would be a good time to prove his worth by going to the us and fighting for a world title against campbell...BUT IT WONT HAPPEN BECAUSE WARREN WONT DO IT LIKE THAT

I dont think its joe's fault, its frank warren.

As for the original poster...TRUST ME JOE WILL FIGHT KELLY PAVLIK

He will fight jones, probably win and then come out of retirement to fight pavlik in america for a final fight.

In my opinion (i respect people who might disagree with me though) but i think he'll beat jones and beat pavlik...this will give him 47,0,0 beating eubank, reid, lacy, kessler, hopkins, jones and pavlik in his career, he will have been undisputed champ for 12 years and made a record number of defenses.

To me, that will speak for itself.

I want to see him face pavlik and believe it will happen, the reason for this is because when he wins (if he does) he totally destroys any doubt and any of the haters opinions, they will have no platform to stand on when criticising joe calzaghe...believe me it will happen

I already made my prediction before the hopkins fight in a thread and the first part of my prediction was correct...now for the next saga of the prediction to take place, watch as it unravels

It doesnt matter who he beats, he will finish his career being unbeaten, having taken down eubank, reid, lacy, kessler, hopkins, jones and pavlik but still there will be people who hate him
