Joe's speed will negate Kelly's power...don't see it if you don't want to but sharp punching quick southpaws aren't anybody's favorite to fight and I don't think Kelly will be any different. As for Kelly's chin, where was that vs Taylor I mean everyone said "Jermain taylor can't punch" well he floored Pavlik and it wasn't a flash knockdown either


Your qualifier of "there is not a MIDDLEWEIGHT in the world that can stand and trade power shots with Kelly"....I think everyone agrees with that however, Joe Calzghe isn't a middleweight now is he? And Joe won't be standing and trading with him either will he? Joe will get Kelly to come at him in a wild wreckless manner and Joe will counter him and land better shots.

Getting caught flush by power shots from Taylor and Calzaghe and night and day two different things. I took Pavlik by KO for the following reason, they are both come forward fighters, therefore they will both make contact, and I believe Joe has zero power left, Pavlik will walk through his punches. Will it be easy or pretty? Hell no. But I've said my peace Pavlik KO
