Calzaghe + Pavlik - The skinny, weedy underdogs (who always win)

Ive stood next to Joe Calzaghe, he isnt what id call weedy. but ya right appearences mean nothing in boxing.

 

Pavlik isn't really the skinny guy that we all think of, he's a big middleweight, no doubt about it.
Calzaghe is not skinny, he may have looked skinny next to a guy like Lacy, but who does not look skinny next to that guy in SMW?

 

Pavlik carries more weight in his bottom half than Taylor did. People look at the two side by side and see the 'ripped' look and think it means something. Yeah, it means Taylor put on VANITY weight. Did some lifting to LOOK good instead of focusing on the muscles that DO good in the ring.

 

JC does not do weights and **** loads of running so does not look big when compared to othe boxers who do weight work. but liftiung them weights does not help you run around the ring for 12 rounds throwing over 1000 punches

 

Calzaghe was a heavy favorite against both KEssler and Hopkins

 

If Calzaghe didnt slap the cornermen probably would have thrown in the towel

 

I lost alot of money betting on Kessler against Calzaghe. I thought Kessler would be able to catch him coming in, keep Calzaghe on the outside, and outbox him. Who would have thought that Calzaghe would outjab Kessler and be able to potshot him from the outside.

Credit to Calzaghe I underrated him.

But Calzaghe was definately a favorite.

something like 65/35
