    Jones. Just coz he's the most interesting one to watch, and coz I think he stands a good chance of winning.

    I think Pavlik is the toughest fight of any of those listed.

    Jones - past his prime
    Woods - not a big enough fight
    Tarver - ditto
    Johnson - ditto
    Hopkins - Zzzzzz
    Dawson - Chad would be schooled
    Bute - ditto

    Guaranteed KO...:lol:

    If its Pavlik your implying 'Slappy Joe' will get KTFO by think again and watch some of Joes fights... (before the Americans heard of him as in 3yrs ago)

    Much as i like Kelly, Joe makes mincemeat out of that kind of style all day...Boxing Lesson 101

    If he fights Pavlik he will lose. So fight Jones and retire.

    :-( Jones is a horrible fight, stylistic wise and resume' wise, why anyone wants to see that i dont know, Joe wins but as nearly as horrible to watch as the Hopkins fight.

    Jones says he wont run, but he def wont come on he will only try to mug him.....

    Pavlik fight will catch fire as soon as the bell goes.

    I voted for Chad Johnson.

    We saw what he does on the football field, lets see him in the ring.

    Calzaghe is only going for the big money fights at this point in his career. Its amusing that all the fighters who had no time for him 5 or 6 years ago, and repeatedly rebuffed and pulled out of fights are now chasing him openly.

    He has done the hard work, now its time for some nice earners.

    Calzaghe would beat Pavlik - he has toyed with come forward fighters before.

    Pavlik is very good, but also appears to be pretty one-dimensional thus far, which would play into Joe's hands.

    To beat Joe, you would need to be able to switch tactics every two or three rounds to keep him guessing - you ain't gonna beat him on workrate, and he has sufficient ring savvy to be able to avoid big bombs.

    Pavlik has one thing that gives him the edge on potentially beating Calzaghe---a massive right hand. If he can drop that baby over the top on Calzaghe, he can do damage at will.

    It's just too bad he'd be eating 5-6 punch combinations in the process of trying.

    Spot on as usual BB my boy, even if Kelly lands the big right he got a good enough chin to take one or two of them, but one or two is all he will take cause he would make adjustments and Kellys chance will be gone.

    Kessler's got just as big a shot and once it had landed, that was that, chance just doesnt come round again.

    Yes, isnt it incredible that when these fighters were in their prime they all avoided Joe, but now when they are old and past their best, they want to fight him?

    You are deluded fool.
