Pavlik Vs Calzaghe Poll

[CountryBoy]

If Pavlik gets past the game Lockett, The Calzaghe fight should take place. I like Joe but I think Pavlik would stop Calzaghe late.

[El Kabong]

Kelly's hands are too heavy to get to Joe, I think Calzaghe is too quick and too accurate to be beaten by the young Kelly Pavlik.


Sure Hopkins knocked Joe down HOWEVER Hopkins landed a good counter but Kelly doesn't have the ability to do such a thing.

[Deanrw]

Based on what I saw tonight, I just don't see how Joe can earn Pavlik's respect in there. Pavlik would hunt him down.

Both Hopkins and Joe looked old tonight.

[:::PSL:::]

Pavlik by KO.

I saw a cocky Calzaghe tonight. He will get clocked big time if he put both of his hands down against Pavlik.

[Gandalf]

Calzaghe UD.

Calzaghe cant stick around too long now. Jones and Pavlik and time to call it a day.

Hahahaah

Already its started

Sorry guys, you just dont get it do you?

Without being rude here...i dont think you understand who JOE CALZAGHE IS!

He can adapt to anything.

I still cant believe people just dont learn. He beat lacy when everyone said hed get beat.

Then he beat kessler when everyone said hed get beat.

Then he beat bhop after the doubters said hed get beat.

LOOK AT THE PATTERN EMMERGING HERE!!!

Any betting man would clearly see this emmerging pattern and then say 'calzaghe will beat pavlik'.

I think joe will beat pavlik convingly because pavlik would get forced to fight joe's fight and lose.

We just saw that bhop could not control calzaghe and calzaghe adapted to win that fight...he will beat pavlik v convingly in my opinion.

BUT I'LL SAY THIS!!!

EVEN WHEN CALZAGHES BEATS ROY JONES AND BEATS PAVLIK, THERE WILL STILL BE THE DOUBTERS AND HATERS...SORRY GUYS BUT YOU NEVER LEARN DO YOU...YOU REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT JOE CALZAGHE IS ABOUT!!!

Don't get me wrong my friend, Joe is the real deal. But I think Pavlik would be to much for Calzaghe

[JLAQ]

Unbelievable. There are many Calzaghe haters in here. Give the man his props you frigging ingrates.

Fairplay to you mate.

We are entitled to our different opinions, i respect that

But id have to disagree.

Although i really like pavlik as a fighter, he is exciting and prob my second fav boxer around atm. I cant see joe losing this matchup heres why:

It will be at super middle i presume? Or a catch weight?

Calzaghe will come into the middle of the ring and start brawling with kelly. He has more speed than kelly aswell as more ring craft and more experience, this brawling and tactical experience will prevail.

Look how taylor dropped pavlik in the second round of ther first fight. In the middle of the ring, taylor was faster and had a higher work rate (only for first 4 rounds until his useless stamina caught up with him). Against calzaghe i think it would be like this all night long though, unless calzaghe started countering.

Against nard calzaghe had a v tough job to adapt his style to beat nard. Against pavlik he doesnt need to adapt, he knows what to do from the very beggining.

Pavlik doesnt have the skill i dont think to match joe in a toe to toe bout and joe is too clever to start going on the ropes against kelly. He doesnt tire out like taylor did and can find his range a lot better.

Id say calzaghe will beat everyone who he fights.

It will be a very tempting deal for pavlik because to be unbeaten yourself and as a young fighter if he managed to beat joe calzaghe he would instantly be a hall of famer basically...imagine if pavlik beats calzaghe, kessler and bute!

But its not gonna happen. Pavik will get beat and joe calzaghe will retire after beating jones and hopkins.

The haters (not reffering to u here mate) will keep hating on him even though he will retire 47,0,0 and have beaten eubank, reid, lacy, mitchell, kessler, hopkins, jones and pavlik in his career. Theyll still hate him and criticise even though it kind of speaks for itself.

[Pugilistic]

calzaghe UD

[El Gamo]

I've said it time and time again,Kelly is a monster and would batter AA and Sturm but Joe C would be too fast for him. Kelly likes to plant his feet to gain power,Joe would be using angles. The southpaw stance,the accuracy,Joe would win this fight,no doubt in my mind. Would be a cracker though,because Kelly's jab would land and give him a chance.

If Pavlik gets past the game Lockett, The Calzaghe fight should take place. I like Joe but I think Pavlik would stop Calzaghe late.

Pavlik would stop Calzaghe, Hopkins right hand constantly got there and he stunned Calzaghe a few times, and lets remember Hopkins has not been a big puncher for quite some time. If Pavlik is able to constantly land the right hand as Hopkins did i think he stops Calzaghe.

[GodofBoxing]

This sort of thread followed by similar comments have been seen before...Usually they end up buried in saddo's database, never to be bumped again after jc demolishes the fighter...yet again...

[GAME]

Calzaghe UD.

Calzaghe cant stick around too long now. Jones and Pavlik and time to call it a day.

Those are the two fights I wasnt too then retire undefeated .

Jones is too old and it may be a similar fight to last night but not as dirty . Joe outpoints Jones.

The Pac fight will be interesting but Pav is pretty crude and I think he'll be easy to outbox. Joe would be too quick for him , mark him up then take him out . Taylor let Pav off teh hook when he had him down but Joe doesnt gas out like Jermain so I think Joe stops Pav in 10 rounds.

Unbelievable. There are many Calzaghe haters in here. Give the man his props you frigging ingrates.

Just because people pick a guy to beat Calzaghe doesn't make them haters bro', so get off your high horse and relax.

Hopkins doesn't throw as many punches as Pavlik does, and though a better counter puncher and strategist than Pavlik, doesn't bring the fight in your face all night.

Pavlik is slower and more cumbersome, but makes up for it in sheer volume and is constantly attacking. Joe was getting rocked whenever Hopkins did throw that straight right last night; and I think with the sheer volume rate of Pavlik, will eat many more than Hopkins fed him. Joe doesn't have much power and certainly won't knock Pavlik out, though the opposite could be said for Pavlik.

Joe likes taking people to the ropes to beat on them, but news flash, Pavlik will gladly sit around by the ropes to trade with Joe. Though, Taylor showed that if you box Pavlik from the middle of the ring, you could definately make Pavlik look "simple" at times. If Joe does that he could probably win a fairly easy points UD; though I think Joe will do his usual hunting to the ropes and Pavlik will catch up to him at some point. Alot of it depends on Calzaghe's approach.

Congrats to Calzaghe though for his win; I picked Hop to win but am glad I was wrong.
