Calzaghe: "Pavlik turned me down twice"

[southakron314]

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

Calzaghe Claims "Kelly Pavlik Turned Me Down Twice!" - Boxing 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.

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

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

Calzaghe is trying to grasp as much as he can now , as he wasted his career fighting bums in a joke division , Pavlik didn't even fight in the same division as him.

I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS MY HATRED FOR CALZAGHE ,

Calzaghe is full of shit. Pavlik like Cotto let's his team pick the fights. I'm so sick of Joe's mouthing off - yeah he had a good victory against Hopkins but that doesn't mean he can be the spokesman for boxing matchup's.

This fight is going to happen sometime next year, calzaghe picked up some tricks along the way from warren, I mean heck he should have. Do you guys not remember almost the same exact talk before the kessler fight happened, same before the bhop fight. They're both going to claim that the other is avioiding the other and wants no part in a fight and then they're going to sign the dotted line and meet in that sqaure circle.

better twice than three times.

I'm used to fighters saying stupid things, and Joe doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in that area, but this one is just hilarious. Pavlik hadn't done enough to deserve a fight with Joe after Miranda and the two Taylor fights....Pavlik was a credible opponent after moving to 28-0 with the biggest win of his career over Fulgencio Zuniga....does not compute.

I get why he wanted Jones over Pavlik, he's getting up there in age himself, its a bigger money fight and its extraordinarily winnable, and legacy wise maybe some fans will forget that Jones is shot. There's no need to try to be overly defensive about it and begin the bullshit.

[Fenster]

It's perfectly understandable Calzaghe's mob tried to make a fight with Pavlik after Lacy.. they were looking for an opponent with a good record, very beatable, and one that would cost PEANUTS.. luckily for Pavlik Sakio Bika got the job

[Plopeater]

I don't for a minute believe any of this. I like JC but I don't think Pavlik would have turned a big payday down, when he was virtually unknown
