    Excellent article.

    Calzaghe would school Pavlik, it would be a great way to finish.

    Even a loss to Pavlik would be a better way to go out than fighting Roy!

    Written by a true hypocrite ! I like it how he supports the Williams fight buts looks down on the Jones Calzaghe fight ..:patsch

    In a previous era, moving up from welter to middle wouldnt be such a big deal, espec as williams has trouble balancing the scales

    but with big fights at welter and a trilogy with quintana a possibility, it seems strange timing. there is also 154 which he could rule one handed

    Oh yes, Williams is an outstanding fight jumping up 2 weights compared to Roy Jones :patsch

    Brutally biased I'd say. Where the hell is Pasadena? More like the Youngstown Chronicle.

    The diffrence in another era most welters first moved to jr middle then middle ..I have yet to see any fighter make a leap 2 divsions up with out a tune up fight one of the top fighters in the division and be successful ..

    Calzaghe would beat Pavlik much like he did the tecnically superior Kessler, IMO.

    I think they would - but if Joe beat Roy nobody would.

    I forgive Bob for that, after all he is getting old

    Right but those stiffs were part of the divison Joe cleaned out ..Tell me what has Kelly cleaned out ? Aside the closet in your house where he kept his shoes ?

    kelly's still young and by fighting taylor twice and abraham that puts him well on the way to eclipsing joe, doesn't it?

    especially since taylor's a more quality win (imo) than anything joe has done.

    EDIT: i mean miranda not abraham.

    It be along way to eclipse Joe considering he unified the divison and holds an impressive record regarding title defenses but if and when he does decide to take on Double A he will be heading in the right direction ..A fight against Paul is a step in the wrong direction .If anyone else would have done this they would have been ripped to shreds ..Remember all the crap Hopkins got for fighting Oscar why is it ok for Kelly to do the same with out scrutiny ? Because of Money ??
