I predict joe will tie him up in the middle of the ring like he did against lacy and fire in combos, start brawling with pavlik and be too fast for him, calzaghe to win this one. After calzaghe wins, the haters will still not rate calzaghe, theyll still find an excuse or some silly !
I think you're slighty deluded if you think that Calzaghe's best chance of beating Pavlik is to 'brawl' with him. He'll get knocked the fuck out.
I think he beats Pavlik with his speed and footwork but Calzaghe isn't going to come close to 'putting him down'.
I think you should watch the taylor pavlik first fight. Look what happened when taylor and pavlik went at it in the middle of the ring against each other. Pavlik's defence let him down and he was floored in second round!

People said exactly the same thing about byron mitchell...look what happened

People said exactly the same thing about lacy...'for heavens sake calzaghe, you mustnt go and brawl with him'...so what did calzaghe do He ran straight in and started brawling with him in the middle of the ring...then look what happened

Calzaghe loves to brawl more than 99% of other fighters, the guy is like a gypsy boxer, watch his fights and youll see he loves to come in for a brawl. Thats exactly the reason i like him so much as he can fight at range and brawl and counter aswell.

You think it will be a mistake for calzaghe to brawl in the middle with pavlik like taylor did (when he floored him in the second round)?

Maybe it will be a mistake, but we'll have to wait n see...all i can say is that people all screamed 'dont brawl' with byron mitchell, then they all screamed 'dont brawl' with lacy...the rest is history
