pavlik vs calzaghe "arum wants calzaghe"

[Dizaster]

I can see why he'd take the Jones fight.. It's a little dodgy having both wins against "Hopkins" and "Jones" on your resume, but they are both at the end of their careers... However Joe isn't that young these days either, and there is nothing wrong with him fighting Jones.. It should be a great fight, and 2 boxers that don't have particularly straight forward fighting styles... I think Jones could knock Calzaghe out if he really let his hands go and didn't have any fear of Calzaghe's punches..

If Joe was planning on hanging around for another 2 or 3 years, and maybe taking another 4 or so fights before his retirement, I could also understand how he said "Pavlik isn't ready for him yet"... Maybe another 2 defences for Kelly, then a huge fight with Calzaghe to really end of Joe's career,,, that would be great as well.. But by the sounds of recent interviews with Joe etc, it doesn't sound like he wants to go on for another 3 years, or take that many more fights...
I think deep down though he loves the big fights, and will probably get drawn into fighting at least another 3 big name US fighters before he hangs the gloves up for good...

Good post

Kelly is froma different era . Jones, Hopkins and Joe are from another . Joe doesnt need these young fighters at his age . Thats not to say I dont think he can beat Pavlik cuz I do . His speed, boxing skill and experience just give him the edge but its a massivley dangerous fight and one that he doesnt need . Id like to see Kessler and Pavlik get it on personally . If Pav wants an old boy with a name he should go for Winky Wright
