Prime Calzaghe imo (vid)

No, he's the real deal. You're right, it is pretty impressive that he's adjusted to having hand issues and stayed on top. It's just too bad he never fought great competition until the tail end of his career.

This is true. He could have beaten most if not all of the best out there in his prime yet was protected............well, we won't harp on this again...

We all know the drill.

Well see this is tough... Joe still has his stamina... He showed it in the Lacy fight... Though that was a while back at that.

Joe loves come forward fighters baut the fact is that if Kelly keeps the fight at range he wins... If Joe keeps doing that fall in shit like he's been up to of late he's gonna catch a straight right down the pipe(but most likely an upercut ).

Does Calzaghe have the ability to still beat a young strong guy that has great stamina himself? Sure... He beat Kessler who IMO is the future(if he ever gets his head back in the game) of the SMW Div.

If this fight were on Pavik's soul purpose should be not allowing Joe to close the gap and fight at range... Should the fight creep closer it will allow JC to rip those quick flurrys... But lets all remember how Kessler began to fade after the 6th. Kelly doesn't fade. Kelly doesn't EVER stop trying.

This would be a great fight!

So in answering your question in could he beat Kelly? Anything's possible and Joe is very skilled... I'd like to think his best days are behind him and that a KO loss to Pavlik is not how Joe wants to end his carreer cuz that too is a great possibility.

I think Pavlik has the perfect style for Calzaghe to look good against and knowing Calzaghe he will mix it up. The fight would be a war and needs to happen. Would be the biggest and best fight of 09.
