Calzaghe dismisses Pavlik fight!

[Youngblood]

Okay, I`m starting to dislike Joe. Just admit you don't want the fight and go on about your business. Say you think RJJ is a better fight for you, and I'll agree. Tryin to say it is because Pavlik isn't ready for him and he is so much better?..blah blah fookin blah.

okay joe. I shall respond with..WHATEVER YOU GIANT PUSSY.

Bawk. Bawk. Bawk.

I generally feel like acting more respectful, but he just doesn't deserve it with these sort of remarks.

[bcollins]

That's a shame - Calzaghe/Pavlik would have been an interesting fight.

I can't say I wouldn't be surprised if Roy won, but I don't think it'll be as easy as Joe thinks.

I agree, with as easily as Hopkins was able to connect on Joe, Jones will be able to do that only more often and with more power. I am really rooting for RJJ in this one, if Calzaghe loses then maybe he'll fight Pavlik.

[leftylee]

Don't you guys all think RJJ is shot or way past it ?? I mean all he done was beat Tito (Who was shot) and yet everybody is commending him and thinks he could beat Calzaghe.

Yeah this is dissapointing (as a calzaghe fan) I can understand he wants that one big last payday and also would want to end his career in wales rather than vegas but coming out saying pavlik doesn't want to fight him I thinks off the mark. You can understand his reasoning its just a shame for boxing wouldv'e been a great match.

[totalboxing1]

He says in the article about maybe a fight in future, but who seriously expects him to fight on past the end of the year?

To me it sounds like his desire has gone and he just wants one last payday, and that all important big name on his resume!

I like Calzaghe, and was believing he's starting to do what he should of many years ago and take on the best over in the States. But this seems like the easier option.

I understand his reasoning. He'll get more money and not get his face mashed in in the process.

One big YAWN to this threads comments. People claiming they are starting to dislike Joe When did you LIKE Joe? after his Kessler win? That likeness lasted hmmmmmmm 2 fights. Fickle wankers

If Hopkins could catch Joe in the first round with a right hand and drop him Pavlik would find right hand after right hand and destroy him.Don't be surprised if Jones beats him.

Who has Hopkins NOT caught with his right hand? It's his best punch. Now Joe suddenly has a weakness for right hands? Your talking rubbish

[Violent Demise]

It's obvious Pavlik's massacre of Lockett made Calzaghe think twice.

[OumaFan]

Yawn, Jones is past it, pointless fight to me.

[Gandalf]

Im dissapointed that Calzaghe doesnt want to try and go out with a bang. Beating the young and powerful Pavlik would be the ultimate seal on his career. Outoworking an old Jones Jr who has been nailed repeatedly in recent years would be a let down.

Im not impressed by this.

Joe hasnt got so much a weakness to right hands, just his defence and head movement aint the greatest, he relies on his fitness and awkwardness, his opponents just cant keep up.

He was caught a few times fluch by Kessler and Reid was the only person to take him to a split decision purely from his overhand rights.

Pavlik is much like Kessler but more aggresive, he doesnt have Kesslers defence or chin though, it would be an exciting fight but Knowing full well that Pavlik is a puncher and has a good right, im sure hed be prepared for it.

I agree that Calzaghe just doesnt want anymore hard nights, he is 36 and is the most consistent fighter in a long time, 11 years as a champ, undefeated is a very long time, especially in a sport like boxing.

Joe wants cash and fame now, you cant blame him but if Pavlik really wants to shoot up the p4p rankings and be something special, offer Joe big money and let him fight in Wales where their would be a bigger gate by far, make him an offer he cant refuse.

[Pugilistic]

Calzaghe has wanted Jones ever since he beat Hopkins.

A pavlik fight can wait.

Its the last fight. Its quite obvious.
