    Apologies if this has been done but i haven't seen it.

    I was just thinking say Abraham and Pavlik fight early next year and Abraham wins it, who wins this fight.

    BTW i don't think Calzaghe would fight Abraham, money and all, just wondering.

    Pavlik-Abraham is 50-50 IMO, AA has the tools and the power to make Kelly pay for his mistakes and Pavlik has the great pressure style to give King Arthur troubles.

    Calzaghe on the other hand is on a whole different level. Joe beats AA 118-110.

    I can't see Calzaghe losing this. He's too busy for Abraham, has a solid enough chin, I don't see a single area where Abraham is going to win this I think he'd take a wide UD.

    I think Calzaghe would take this by UD.

    Hmm, don't know. Abraham is a sly dog, and a hell of a counter puncher. And Calzaghe leaves himself open to counters and fights off-balance. Either Calzaghe by UD or Abraham by KO. But it would definitely be an interesting match-up.

    Bad match-up for Abraham. High work-rate vs Lazy style. Joe is extremely adaptable and clever, he will outwork Abraham and won't get caught by the wide counter hooks.

    Joe UD.

    AA has a poor work rate but good turtle shell defense so Joe would just flurrie AA and even if most don't land Joe will probably win rounds just by looking bussier.

    AA is a decent counter puncher and Joe can be hit by counters but its a straight punch or uppercut that usually catches Joe when hes coming in. AA's punchers are usually wide, winging hooks that Joe would see coming and beable to react to.

    AA would give Joe problems at times but i see Joe responding to this like in the Kessler fight and winning by a relatively wide UD.

    Wide UD for Calzaghe but there is a chance of perhaps 20% for an Abraham KO.

    Calszaghe would win with no doubt at all.
    Easy points win, or even a lat stoppage for Joe.

    I also go for Calzaghe by UD, but AA will have the puncher's chance even though Calz has a very solid chin.

    By points - agreed, by stoppage? No way!

    Abraham would take a Lacy kind of beating
