I love Joe Calzaghe!

[Markusdarkus]

You know Markus... I still feel bad for Neg repping you in like your tenth post. I think it was a Calzaghe thread. I'll say that since me being WRONG doing that I've seen that you're a quality poster.

You are a TRUE fan... You are a somewhat scorned Calzaghe fan from what I gathered... But not just a Calzaghe fan but a true fan of the sport which I respect!

Does the boxing world want this fight? Hell yes!

But as a bit of a Clazaghe fan(I think he is a legit champ and has showed grit in many a bout) I'll say... I'm not sure.

This is why...

Would I like to se the fight? Hell yes!

Do I think that the win would do anymore for his legacy? I don't know... Nor do any of us.

I'll explain...

Pavlik is one of my favorite fighters... but what Pavlik does after a hypothetical loss would add or detract what happens to the legacy...

Why risk it?

You're an undefeated, great champion...

Retire.

He's nothing but smart in retirement.

I think that, yes, he wasted time with Warren and was far to pretected cuz he had the skillset to spark a world wide following but in the end...

you need to look at the big picture...

if it's a legacy... I don't know(and we all won't for a few year) what a Pavlik win would do for him but an undefeated record and 13 year reign... I know what that does.

Thanks for the love im blushing!

Seriouly though Joe spent 8yrs of his peak looking for big fights and now finally they are here he is going to walk away from what would probably been seen as a career best win (should he win).

Styles make fights and Pavlik vs Calzaghe would be a total war and the winner would probably be seen as the new P4P1. If they both win there next fight it just has to happen.

Joe Calzaghe would get KO'ed in a toe to toe war with Kelly Pavlik.

Pavlik comes foward in straight lines and would love imo in a war.

Pavlik is not a big single shot puncher let alone at 168lbs. Joe slaps him up.

You already know my reply about fighters coming forward in a straight line against Calzaghe so i won't repeat it again...........

But Pavlik has a very powerful right hand with is a Southpaw's weakness and Calzaghe gets hit with it all the time especially against Reid, Woodhall etc...........

I think Pavlik showed good power at 166 against Taylor. Because one body shot changed the tempo of the fight, Calzaghe will box no way he goes to war, it just depends on how Calzaghe's chin holds up against Pavlik. And it also depends on how long Calzaghe can stick and move and avoid getting into exchanges against Pavlik.
