How Come Calzaghe Never fought Pavlik? Who Would Win If They Fought?

    They never fought because Calzaghe thought Pavlik was a much tougher option than the skeletal remains of Roy Jones. Probably Calzaghe would have ground out a decision over KP, but zero-protecting was always Joe's first priority so when the option of shot-to-smithereens RJJ was presented, he ducked the tougher young fighter.

    See. It's not just the yanks who have a go at Calzaghe. Brits are well aware of his failings.

    Actually, I just deleted it cause it was an old profile. You haven't addressed why you're interested in looking at other men online. When you address that, I think you'll feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders and the healing can begin. Don't worry, your family MIGHT accept you.

    Stop stalking me ******. Did my picture turn you on that much? Wow, I did know the homosexual community was in force on this site, but I didn't know they went so far as to message me on a dating site. I'm not interested in men, sorry.

    Listen, you're clearly an ALT of someone who's feelings I've hurt. I'm not sorry, you deserve being hurt, and I'm glad your parents beat the **** out of you, maybe they don't do it enough.

    Calzaghe would have sliced Pavlik to pieces.

    Calzaghe was a very good fighter (not an ATG though) but i'd love to see a link to the writers who said Lacy was limited,because i remember perfectly well how little chance the boxing writers of both the States and the UK gave Calzaghe.
    Your just a Trolling mutha ****a looking for a reaction,but you really should research your bull**** more thoroughly. :patsch

    Probably the weight issues and the fact that he wanted to cash in cant blame him but Calzaghe would have destroyed Stone Cold Steve Pavlik

    Calzaghe would have scored a wide UD. Pavlik has a good chin and would stay it out but would lose.

    Read below

    Calzaghe aims to bring the curtain down on his glittering career by stretching his unbeaten run to 46 fights when he takes on Roy Jones Jr in New York in November.

    And the Welshman, 36, has rubbished claims that he only signed to face Jones because he is afraid of losing to middleweight king Pavlik.

    He blasted: "Pavlik is just trying to make a name for himself on my back.

    "He fought and beat Jermain Taylor instead and immediately had a rematch with him to dodge me again.

    "It's easy to come out of the woodwork and mouth off when you've already signed to fight somebody else."

    Pavlik extended his own unbeaten run to 36 fights by demolishing Calzaghe's former stablemate Gary Lockett in June.



    NO GO ... Kelly Pavlik
    Rumours of a Calzaghe-Pavlik showdown quickly followed but Calzaghe insists the American has NEVER been serious about fighting him.

    The light-heavyweight added: "He didn't even call me out after he beat Gary.

    "And with no disrespect to Gary, he's a totally different kettle of fish to me.

    "When Pavlik beat Gary, he actually didn't say anything about me at all afterwards.

    "It's funny that he's started to get a bit brave now that I've signed to fight Jones — but you get used to that bulls*** in boxing."

    Calzaghe would have boxed his ears off. It's that simple, I thought that'd be what happened at the time the fight was discussed several years ago and Pavlik was undefeated and looking good, considering what his strengths and weaknesses have been proven to be since there's no doubt in my mind Calzaghe wins. The question is can Pavlik win a round?

    Yeah that's why he chose to make the huge domestic fight with Froch in a football stadium in the UK when Froch was calling him out, and why he chose to take the rematch with B-Hop when Hopkins offered to come to Wales for a superfight.

    :patsch

    At that time, Pavlik was an invincible beast, nobody can touch him. Calzaghe also thinks so, that's why he avoided him. You may call Pavlik a bum now, but at that time, he has aura of invincibility, very much like Tyson in the 80's.

    This is one fight Calzaghe would easily won and would cement his legacy, if he is not hindered and overpowered by fear.
    But at that time, everybody fear Pavlik... except B-hop.
