Chad Dawson/Kelly Pavlik/Roy Jones/Joe Calzaghe

[The PocketRocket]

Some people have pointed out including me that if Joe Calzaghe, fought and beat Kelly Pavlik. People would then be demanding Joe Calzaghe vs Chad Dawson.

Then it struck me what if Kelly Pavlik and Chad Dawson win there next fights. Then why not Kelly Pavlik and Chad Dawson, fight it out to determine who really deserves a shot at Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones winner ?

Joe has been cushioned through out his prime . He fought the great all time p4p Mario Viet twice in his prime? Why? Dawson destroys Joe. Kelly destroys Joe.

That's a bold statement - no way Dawson or Pavlik destroys Joe. Yes maybe they can beat him at this stage of his career cause he's been on the slide but to say they destroy him is wrong...... Got a feeling if Joe does well against Jones then he will be tempted for one last fight against Pavlik in 2009 but Dawson isn't a big enough name to sign a career off on. Pavlik is at the moment.

Personally, I don't think we're ever going to get to find out the answer to this one, because after the RJJ fight, I think Joe is going to be saying buh-bye to the fighting side of the sport. Don't think even Pavlik can tempt him. I think PAvlik v Calzaghe wouldbe a good one, with Joe breaking him down, but getting caught and rattled a few times alongthe way.

You guys are forgetting one thing........Antonio Tarver.


I've got a feeling he's going to upset Dawson big time.

Dawson looked vulnerable against Johnson, I think Tarver can take him.

Well were were TRYING to forget him until u reminded us all lol. Thanks for that! haha


yeah i know what your saying, dawson didn't look that good and just got by a journey man. But i really expect him to put on a much much better showing in the Tarver fight and beat him without any dispute.

Could pull the upset. I just dont think he is busy enough.

I was thinking the same thing, he definately has the skill set, but he tends to wait too much when under heavy fire.

You're probably right mate but I just feel if Joe can come off the Jones fight with a convincing win and Pavlik beats Hopkins the money for a Calazaghe/Pavlik fight would be mega millions and Joe would probably get the biggest pay day of his career. It would be a high risk sign off to his career but something I think Joe could achieve and then retire undefeated.

They both KO him inside of 9.
