Jones is only in this equation because of the $ factor. Yeah he has notched up a few wins but against who exactly, Prince Badi basic but an ok fighter, Hanshaw again ok, but destroyed by Dirrell, and Felix Trinidad (I don't care what anyone says he hadn't been in the ring for a couple of years and was a complete shadow of his former self not to mention fighting well over his natural weight) Jones Jr is a name but he is 39 years old and hasn't been a patch on his former self since winning the Heavyweight title 5 years ago. This fight will pull in millions in PPV etc so in regards to filling pockets it is the best fight for everyone involved to take. In regards to the fight is will be a dull one, as was the Hopkins fight.

In regard to Pavlik, he is the only real threat to Calzaghe who will rake in enough money to make it worth the risk. However it would mean Calzaghe having to get back to Super Middleweight and Pavlik stepping up, Pavlik will be much more keen than Calzaghe in doing this, and personally unless Jones Jr turns down the fight this will never happen.

Calzaghe v Jones Jr - Mega Bucks boring fight
Calzaghe v Pavlik - Possibility of a decent exciting fight but will never happen.
