Would Kelly Pavlik end Calzaghe's undefeated record if they met?

I'd like to see this fight. I voted for Pavlik. Mainly due to age. But it would depend on what weight they fought at for me.

firstly i will admit im a huge calzaghe fan - hell the first boxing event i went to was "the full monty" in sheffield where he took the title off eubank (ill admit i was there to watch naz but left as a fan of joe) i was there when he beat lacy and kessler too. It just seems that every single opponent joe's had people are lining up to write him off. I honestly don't believe any of the touted fighters (jones jr, tarver, pavlik) are going to beat him - he just is that good. look at the punches he took off kessler and didn't even blink. True hopkins might have knocked hm down - but it didn't seem to bother him that much!

If it happened I'd say 90% chance it's going to be at supermiddle.

I would deinatly go with Joe via UD, we know he's a sucker for a right hand and all but pavlik has nowhere near the IQ of B-Hop or the movement to make Joe jump into those right hands like he did.

B-Hop is just so hard to hit, if you do catch him he is already moving away from the punch or has managed to partially block the shot wich is probably why Joes shots looked so feeble and ineffective.
Wev'e heard it must be about 30 odd times "he slaps,but he slaps hard" I dont think pavlik will just walk through the shots he likes a tear up but he aint superman, you dont just ignore it do you, if you get punched in the face cleanly your gonna feel it.

I think work rate will do it for Joe at the end of this one,hell ship a few big ones but i think he has the chin to stand up to it. B-Hops shot rattled him cos he didn't see it coming......the ones that hurt the most are the ones you dont see coming...I can't see pavlik with that sort of smarts Joe will see every shot,no KO.

I would have to see a bit more of Pavlik before I can make a desicion like this... He beat Miranda, and JT 2x which most didnt regard him all that high at the end. Kelly personifies all that is good about boxing.(power,chin,personality, excitement, outstanding sportsman)

JC as we know has proven himself to all the critics, especially me FORMALLY one of his biggest. 2nd best supermiddle of all time undefeated and over 10 year reigning champion along with being Lineal and universally recognized Champion of 2 divisions... His plaque and space have already been set aside in Canastota.... Enough said

If Kelly beats him its only because Joe got old and less mobile... But Kelly's Helacious right is his meal ticket and Joe's achilles heal. The question is can Calzaghe keep showing angles so Kelly cant set and sit on his punches.

I think Calzaghe: Pavlik is a great matchup. I think Calzaghe, if he can find that Kessler form one more time, can beat Pavlik by a clear UD. But Pavlik will always make it interesting with his workrate and huge right hand.

Nothing not to like in this possible matchup...

I'm 50/50 on this one...

It's puncher meets the boxer....

Can the puncher land his money shot?
Can the boxer fight well for 12 full rounds?

I can't decide really...

IM WITH YOU MATE.I LIKE BOTH FIGHTERS.I LIKE TO SEE THE FIGHT GET MADE!I AGREE IT'LL BE 50/50.IM A BETTING FREAK WHEN IT COMES TO THE NOBLE ART GAME,BUT IF THE FIGHT DOES GET PULLED OFF THEN IT WOULD BE REALLY HARD TO BET ON EITHER BOXER.IT WOULD BE A FANTASIC FIGHT THOUGH.....MOUTH WATERING

If this fight went to the cards Pavlik's face will just look sweaty and Calzaghe's will look like ground beef. Hopkins looked like he was out for a jog. Calzaghe has nothing that hurts Pavlik. Nothing Calfagey can do will hurt Pavlik. Joe knows and will see what Pavlik can do to a opponet come the 7th when Lockett gets mauled in the ring. This Lockett fight will shock me if it goes more than 7 rounds. Im sure Calzaghe will be rings side for this dismantling of a human.I hope he sees it. I hope Pavlik knocks him out in extreme fashion. Like Taylor slump over almost lifeless in the corner. Or Miranda beaten so bad he looked like a new born kitten with both eyes shut. I hope I dont even need to mention what he did to Zertuche. I hope this fight happens around middle of 2009 when Pavlik is ready to move up. I hope its at a good catch wieght 170-172. I think how prone Joe looked agianst the right hands of Hopkins that Pavlik will connct with his own . Pavlik is a real busy fighter 80-120 punches a round. The right will land and it will hurt.
