Calzaghe dismisses Pavlik fight!

[CFH]

Am I the only one who thinks that Calzaghe may fight Jones then Pavlik?
If Calzaghe beats Jones I think he'll have one more fight against Pavlik then call it a day.

That would be a big mistake I think. JC is getting older and Pavlik is coming into his prime, the longer Calzaghe waits, the more his skills will erode while Pavlik improves and gains valuable experience. If Calzaghe is going to fight Pavlik, I think he's best served by doing it asap.

But, according to Joe, apparently Pavlik doesn't want to face Calzaghe. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Joe was just trying to drum up hype and demand for a fight with Pavlik.

yeah this could be the case, he knows he's only a couple of fights left, so he'll want to be making as much money as possible, be great to have
Calzaghe- Jones with Pavlik - Froch on the same card!

I think it's a possibility. But that will just give Calzaghe fans more reason to say "he was shot by then" after Pavlik erases that undefeated record.

Beating Roy Jones won't do much for Joe's "legacy." Yes it is a huge name, but not right now. The best part of all this is Roy can beat Joe. Imagine if he did? I would actually love that more than Pavlik beating him because it puts a huge dent in his career. I guess I'm being bitter he delayed this Pavlik fight...Sorry, Calzaghe fans, I didn't mean harm by this. I'm just ranting now..

I think if he beats Jones easy he will fight Pavlik but if he struggles he will call it a day.

I think Jones has a really good chance of taking this fight. Awkward fighters don't bother him so much as strong fighters do. I mean, one awkward fighter against another is somewhat of a toss-up, don't you think? When Joe starts getting slappy with his punches in close with his guard wide open Roy turns into a surgeon with some precise shots in between a tight guard. I see Roy being hesitant per usual in the first few rounds and once he realizes Joe isn't hurting him he starts opening up, taxing his body until it looks like a fight that COULD go either way. Joe SHOULD win, but I don't know that he would.

What a coward. He knows he hits harder than enyone he has ever faced. He is unrelenting and a very sound champion. Not to mention you can not stop the guy.

If he was a coward he wouldn't have fought Lacy when everyone was saying he hits harder than anyone he's faced, and as for u can not stop the guy, if Taylor was a better finisher he would have, Calzaghe's never been hurt like Pavlik was.

Who cares. He should have called Jones out 8 years ago. But he didnt. Jones was too good and woulod have walked all over him.
