Both throws non stop punches for the 3 mins of every round for the whole 12 rounds. Both have stamina of a wolf. This would be like Gatti-Ward on the higher scales but with bigger names at stake.
If he fought Calzaghe tomorrow, he would lose by 5 rounds or more. Pavlik had a tough time with Taylor's speed tonight AND the angles. Calzaghe would provide more of both.
It would be a good fight, but it would lack the two-way clean, powerful punching of Gatti-Ward. Calzaghe would be the one landing frequently and would dominate Pavlik.
pavlik´s power is gonna chok most of is opponents... even winky would have difficultys dealing with it... and remember that jc is no iron chin... pavlik will win until he moves up and face mikkel kessler...
atsch No iron chin well he aint never been beat, 2 flash knock downs in his whole career Took massive shots off kessler, reid mitchell etc.... And the n you say kessler will beat pavlik yet joe already disposed of him :tired :deal
its easy to beat a injured fighter... who has joe fought that could hit besides kessler... nobody.... joe is a champ...no doubt... but he would be in trouble in a rematch against kessler... who did not do any sparring 3 weeks up to the fight and was on the hospitalized due to his hand less than 72 hours after the fight....
Win or lose, Calzaghe would most likely look bad against Hopkins. Hopkins has a way to make a fight boring, regardless of who he fights.
calzaghe beats pavlik for me. not a pavlik fan i believe he would be outboxed and has a punchers chance thats all
