Im a big fan of Calzaghe.Yeah he might slap most of the time,but his hand speed,his chin,his work rate and his boxing stills are second to none.Not to mention his great right hand jab.He might not have the power anymore to K.O a boxer out but his tactics to change and adapt to win a fight is fantasic.Calzaghe has one of the best boxing brains as a fighter in the ring EVER!
Shame on you british fans not liking Calzaghe
One thing i'll mention to the lovers and haters of Joe,is that if,"I hope",he fights Pavlik and loses he'll even generate more fans by going out with a BANG!
Luv u Joe!![]()

Top thread
It baffles me why some people right off Calzaghe against Pavlik. Calzaghe has proven time and time again that he simply wont be beat, can adapt during a fight, his punch power is practically zero but all the other tools are there.
Its the same old story....
X will do this to Calzaghe, Calzaghe cant do this, Calzaghe slaps ect ect. Each time Calzaghe flips the script.
Im not and never have been sold on Pavlik. He sparked Miranda, but then again old man Eastman almost sparked him a few round sooner, if he didnt have so many miles on the clock he would have. He beat reluctant fighter Jermaine Taylor twice, almost getting himself sparked out in the process.
Pavlik Calzaghe a 50/50 fight. A few years ago Calzaghe would have wiped the floor with him as he did Lacy........he still might.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

I used to really like Pavlik but his lovers have turned me against him.
Come on Hopkins!!! I would love that boring old bastard to spark him clean out.![]()
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.

I'm going the same way.
The whole Pavlik power thing is a bit much. Yes he hits hard but he's no julian Jackson. He gets the majority of his KO's through pressure, remarkably similar to Joe earlier on in his career. IMO Eubank has at least the same single punch power than Pavlik (probably more), his KO ratio is lower since he simply isn't a 100 punches a round pressure fighter.
Same goes for Mitchell, Brewer, Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins.
The only reason a Calzaghe-Pavlik fight may be competitive nowadays is joe's advancing years, and he HAS been slowing down recently. Simple reason is that come forward fighters are his bread and butter.

#1 Pavlik is not my hero, but he is a fighter I respect. He takes on all comers. There should be many more like him.
#2 Joe has shown indications of preferring the safe route. On top of that he feeds complete and utter bullshit to the press in the hopes to promote his current fight he has lined up. Contradicts himself left and right in his quest to go out in, this is his own words mind you, a "Blaze Of Glory". The guy is a fruitcake plain and simple. I cannot believe I used to respect that turd.
Pavlik may very well lose soon, maybe even against Hopkins, but at least he is approaching his craft with old fashioned honor and dignity and willing to test himself.
