I've said right from the beginning of this rumored Calzaghe/Pavlik fight that it would never happen. Enzo would never let it happen. And I stated right from the beginning that it was the right thing to do. RJJ is the right fight for Joe. Or someone similar. But the only one deluded here with this statement is Calzaghe. Is it really necessary for him to slag on Pavlik and his lack of readiness to fight him as the reason? Not at all. I think most fans would understand and except for many reasons.

I wouldn't be calling him a chicken shit if he didn't think it was somehow important to dog on another fighter who has a ton of class, and skill...to make an excuse for not making the fight. What a bullshit chicken ass statement. He didn't need to say anything, just..."I'm fighting RJJ, come watch." And it would be good. Yea, I did respect him, but now I''m starting to think him a chicken ass. It sounds like the kinda justification dick sucking of Margo that Citron did to explain his ass whooping. How Cotto would lose. Only diff. here is, Joe is blowing himself as an excuse.
