    Well don't hold your breath. This snake does his talking with a big mouth. Pavlik does his talking with his fists. If Joe says he can beat Pavlik, good for him. We all know who's full of ****.

    Joe is a victim of his own mouth. Just follow the time line.

    Sept 29, 2007: Pavlik destroys Taylor while Joe looks on via sattelite. After the fight HBO interviews Calzaghe, and Calzaghe calls Pavlik out.

    Nov 3, 2007: JC beats Kessler, and continues to call out Pavlik.

    Before any other fights are made, and before JT says he'll excersize his rematch clause, Joe runs down to the nursing home, and picks a fight with BHop.

    All through the winter and early spring, up until Arum announces the Lockett fight, JC continues to Call Pavlik out.

    April 19, 2008: Calzaghe wins a split decision over BHop, proclaims himself a legend killer, and says he wants Roy Jones. He doesn't mention Pavlik.

    Just prior to the Lockett fight an interviewer asks Pavlik who he wants to fight next. With no hesitation whatsoever Pavlik says "Calzaghe." In the mean time Top Rank offers Joe 10 million pounds to fight Pavlik.

    June 7, 2008: Pavlik destroys Joe's stablemate, but Joe wasn't there. In the post fight press conference a reporter ask Pavlik who he wants next. Without hesitation Kelly says "Calzaghe. It's up to Arum and Duncan. If they tell me to fight Godzilla, I'll fight Godzilla."

    On or about June 12-13 2008 Calzaghe tells the South Wales Argus: "A lot of people would love to see it. However, at this point, I think it's unlikely. I'm not sure if Pavlik really wants to face me at the moment."

    You can interpret that any way you like, but I call it ducking, plain and simple. If it were Kelly who had been running off at the mouth, it would be different, but Joe spent at least 7 months calling Pavlik out, and all of a sudden when Kelly says yes, Joe wants to fight a has been in RJJ!

    I beat ya to the post, but did you see what I wrote in reference to a big mouth? And how exactly did you start your post?

    Pavlik fans must think alike.:good

    Well when you have the mental capacity of a lump of jelly it is difficult to form individual thoughts isn't it.

    Just kidding, no offence!

    I will be royally pissed off if Pavlik is up for it and Joe isn't

    On the 7th, after the Lockett fight, Arum promised that there would be news about Pavlik/Calzaghe by Friday (today.) This IS that news! Joe wants no part of Pavlik.

    I got no more respect for Calzaghe. Just pick your fights and retire, you want none of Pavlik.

    If he wasn't up for it, would he have yelled to almost 10,000 people in Boardwalk Hall "is that what you's wanna see?"

    There's no doubt in my mind that Pavlik is up for this fight. We'll get the whole story soon but I'm certain that Calzaghe and Warren will have the excuses and not Pavlik's team.
