[Conrad]

According to Calzaghe Pavlik has actually ducked him twice before, after the Lacy fight and after Pavlik beat Taylor....

[the wiz]

Calzaghe is crazy. Why would Pavlik want to fight him after Calzaghe beat Lacy? Pavlik was gunning for a Middleweight title. And after Pavlik defeated Taylor and won the title, he had to fight Taylor again for the rematch clause.

I'm getting very tired of Joe's comments of Pavlik. The one the other day was Kessler is better than Pavlik and Joe beat Kessler. But Roy Jones who hasn't had a significant win since I can't remember is more substantial choice than Pavlik? Give me an f***ing break

[Youngblood]

talk.

[LEGION]

That's funny. Joe has recently been saying Pavlik hasn't done enough to earn a shot at him; but Calzaghe says he was trying after the Lacy fight to call Pavlik out when Kelly was still a pimple on the face of boxing who had yet to fight Zertuche and who people were paying little attention to.

How was Kelly worthy back then but not now

As this bad mouthing goes on longer between Pavlik and Calzaghe the more i feel that this fight will happen.Especially if both Calzaghe and Pavlik win their next fight!!Our guys,stop the words of war and just get it now!!!It would be the fight of tnhe year in 2009 if it get the go ahead!!

[OumaFan]

LOL after the Lacy fight

So it was either Bronco McKart or Calzaghe?

Pavlik was a protected prospect at that point ffs.

[Gandalf]

Joe has now been completely infected with the Enzo disease.

Like father like son, perhaps.

I only hope that we see Pavlik and Joe face off.

[Deanrw]

Joe made himself look bad with those comments.

Like Legion said, he looked to fight Pavlik after Lacy, when Pavlik was no more than an inexperienced prospect. Then After Pavlik becomes a much more experienced, established Champion, he is suddenly not good enough to earn a fight?

Talk about contradictions!!

[ono]

Silly fooker

Contradicted himself big time. Me thinks he's been stealing his dad's stupid pills.

Hope your right coz it is a fight that Joe can win if he still has it!

I spoke to Bradley Price today................

And he said Joe will fight Pavlik and has always intended to end his career with Pavlik but he said Jones was a once in a life time payday. He also said Joe is sick of the flack about him "ducking" Pavlik. Price said if Pavlik agree to terms the fight will be at 168 for Joes WBO and liniar title in March or April.

He hinted that retirement talk was to diswade warren trying to cash in on his last bout. Price is a stablemate and an ultra solid source.

If that is true that is awesome news.

Pavlik had a rematch and of course Calzaghe wanted to fight him before he knew what he was capible of. Calzaghe is like a rash. I also heard Calzaghe say Pavlik is unworthy.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

I like joe, but you have to admit he talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is the king of contradictions.

[Plopeater]

He's just like any boxer, Pavlik claims JC is running so JC says its the opposite. I also feel with all the retirement talk, he's just trying to get the money up when the fight does happen
