it would be a brutal KO if that happened..

I can only hope he fights Pavlik, but i don't see it happening.. The thing is, of course there is always the argument that "there is always another up and comer they could fight" but to be honest, if Calzaghe beats Jones and Pavlik, unless someone else very quickly rises to the top, i'd really feel that he fought the best guy possible..

lets face it, if Joe beats Pavlik, what will we be saying? He should fight Abraham, or Kessler has improved since they fought and he should fight Kessler.. no.. we'd know that Pavlik was the best guy out there, and as much as i want to see Calzaghe lose, i'd be content with his opposition..
