The only things that would worry me are Joes age and retirement talk.

Pavlik is good and tough, he throws a dangerous right hand for someone like Calzaghe who does get caught with em.

I would see it going much the same way as Kessler, Calzaghe getting the worse of it for 2 or 3 rounds before he does what he does.

Pavlik is untested against any genuine super middles and hasnt fough anyone who can work like Joe.

No one around super middle has fought nayone who can work like Joe, thats why he keep winning but his age might just catch up with him and the facgt he wouldnt have had to make 12 stone for a year!

Id say take the Pavlik fight but if he feels much more comfortable at light heavy, do it there or not at all.
Work rate is even . Pavlik throws about 80 -110 punches a round. Pavliks punches are accually punches not slaps.
Conditioning goes to Pavlik
Chin ,Pavlik as well
Expirence is all Calzaghe
Power is Pavlik
Heart is most likely a draw.
Height , Pavlik
reach , Pavlik
body attack , Pavlik
speed , Calzaghe but I feel Taylor was faster than Joe has been in the last 4 years.
defense , split
I cant see any other possibility than Joe getting his little ass kicked.
