Calzaghe v Pavlic what if?

[Markusdarkus]

Having seen Calzaghe for most of his career Pavlik is made for Calzaghe, infact you couldnt get a fighter more suited for Calzaghe.

A tall guy with no footwork that doesnt stop coming.

Geez it would be a career ruin beatdown should Calzaghe still be at 70% of what he was on 2005.

Both fighters are over-rated IMO. Pavlik is still just learning his trade and Joe is on a slide from a height not that high to begin with.

It all comes down to who could out hustle the other. Both throw a lot of punches, Joe is faster while Pavlik hits harder. Whoever imposes their will more wins.

It is a 50/50 for me.

Freddie Roach on a Calzaghe/Pavlik match up:

"Pavlik's style is perfect for Calzaghe. Joe would pick him apart all night and stop him some time before the end"

Styles make fights and Pavlik is so made for Calzaghe i would be really pissed should Joe refuse to beat him up ands i mean PISSED!

Everyone up to this point has thought Pavlik was easy pickings. They all thought he was limited and C Class. Yet he knocked them all out. Pavlik will always look sloppy, but he will continue to knock guys out.

Pavlik has a punchers chance but if I was betting its Joe all the way, Pavlik is made for him as others have said Joes skill against these kind of fighters is underrated Kelly will go on to be a big star but if he met Joe next year he would be embarrassed

If RJJ can turn the clock back a bit this could actully be a tougher test than Pavlik

BTW I am not a crazed fanboy I am English and hate the fact that the best boxer on this island is Welsh but you cant underestimate JC even on the decline

Jones has the speed to cause Joe problems and even ko power to hurt Calzaghe but his speed only last about 4-5 rounds where go will just keep going for the 12 rounds.

I thought the rest of the thread title would read "Calzaghe v Pavlik what if Joe grew the balls to fight him?"

Freddie NO! I like Freddie but I would have to disagree wholeheartedly

Say Calzaghe dominated Pavlic. Would Pavlic be another Jeff Lacy? or would Calzaghe get more respect this time round?

Pavlik has already brought a bigger name for himself than Lacy ever did. A win for Joe over Pavlik would be HUGE IMO.
