    I hope this fight doesnt get made, I would predict a Pavlik KO within 5 rounds, big right hand and BOOM, thats all she wrote.

    Plus, I dont want Pavlik to get used to jumping in weight from 160 then up, then back down, then back up, I feel like there are much more entertaining fights to be made for pavlik such as the one with Abraham and eventually Winky Wright.

    As far as money goes though, calzaghe is obviously his biggest $$ opportunity. I hope he stays at Middleweight and creates a legacy though, hes got the tools to do it.

    Don't be ridiculous :patsch

    Everyone knows that the Brit fans have way more support than the Americans it just wouldn't happen.

    What's the capacity of MSG then? Because I'm sure as hell it doesn't come anywhere near to over 60,000.

    That's what I thought originally. But that writer seems to think that if you fight a fight below that belt's weight then the fight does count. So therotically at a 168 fight, the SMW and LH belts would be on the line but the MW belts would not.

    It doesnt come to that Im just amused at whenever Cal is mentioned to fight Pavlik its automatically assumed that Cal is bringing all the money to the table and Pavlik isnt doing anything as far as generating revenue. That my friend is absurd. Pavlik is a legit champion and the terms of where it should be fought shouldnt automatically go to Cal is all im saying. They both are legit champions.

    I really hope the fight doesn't get held up over something as small as location. That'd be childish.

    This fight belongs in Madison Square Garden & no where else. I don't think its hype between Lowe & Enzo. The war is on & will culminate in a head on collision between Pavlik & Calazghe & Kelly will wade through that slappy "bullocks" Joe throws & knock his arse out cold as a pickle!

    If this happens, it will make PBF/Oscar II seems non-existant!:happy

    The trouble with this is that with the exception of Arthur Abraham the middleweight division is looking really sparse right now.

    Sturm has no interest in facing Pavlik.

    Duddy would be a financial draw but its hardly a competitive fight.

    Winky ain't likely to happen as Pavlik's people seem to think he's too boring a fighter for the money he's asking.

    Andy Lee proved to be a lot of hype. ( The kid ain't ready )

    After that who's left? Lorenzo? Griffin? Slyvester? Mundine? Can't blame Pavlik for looking up to the SMW division. There are many barn burners waiting for him at MW.

    Agreed. Pavlik could clean out the MW division...but what's the point? There's nothing there to clean out really. The money is up at SMW nowadays with RJJ, Mikkel Kessler, Joe Calzaghe, Mundine, potential rematch money to be made against Miranda if he destroys Abraham and such and such.

    2 months ago it was open to the public and went to see him. The local paper does articles on him and pics to keep the town informed daily. Its easy to meet and talk to him though because theres fundraisers weekly when hes not in training. Its great if your a fan! :good

    This would be as bad as Cardiff. If they make this fight, it belongs in Vegas or Atlantic City.

    The reason I ask is I'm trying to figure a way to meet him one day. I'm his BIGGEST fan & I'm an artist. I'm gearing up to do some more boxing paintings & Kelly is definitely on my list of things to do. Take a look at the kinda work I can do. Just imagine delievering a killer painting of KP to him one day!

    Maybe I'll send this to John D'Altorio who takes care of alot of PR stuff for Kelly. I'll ask him to show this to KP.

    If you ever see him again, tell him JETSKI from New Jersey has a big surprise for him one day.

    :good
