90% KO ratio Funny but against whom ???

I like Pavlik he is the future but you guys need to stop !!

Talk about over hype ..Last I checked his rematch with Taylor the best oppoenet he has faced to date ended in a decision where was that 90%

I think is clear who the ****** is and I am willing to bet that you logg on this site while on that short bus !90% ko rating yeah I'm sure allot of boxers would have that if they fought the jounrey men he's fought aside Taylor thus far .. 90% Joe gets rippd for his comp but yet Pavlik has only one quality opponent, his first world title and he's the 2d coming of every single all time middle weight that has ever laced them up ..

Agree, not with the ****** part and the short bus, but the part of overhyping. Let the man breath. It is true, beat Tayloer twice and don't forget that Taylor almost had him out in the first fight. Let him beat AA and a couple more guys at MW before some of you guys crown him the next great MW.

I'd love to see Calzaghe fight someone young and undefeated again after Jones and retire on that, I'm really disapointed that the Jones fight was made and I'll be even more disapointed if he calls it a day after Jones, even though he's had a hell of a career and has given me personally lots of thrills, it was never boring with Calzaghe.

I'd actually prefer he'd fight a better fighter than pavlik with Chad Dawson and maybe Dawson can bring more money, he'd surely add more legacy wise than Pavlik.

This is a distinct possibility, for two reasons:

1) Joe Calzaghe will not have his final fight in the US. Pavlik-Calzaghe in Wales makes a ton of sense as a superfight leading into retirement. Having the home turf should be a concession Pavlik's camp makes since he is the younger, more prime fighter. There's also more cash to be made for both parties, particularly for Kelly if the deal is signed in another currency besides the dollar.

2) Joe wouldn't have fired Warren if he was only going to fight once more. Having two fights is what will really allow him to cash in on not having to pay the promoters' cut- there's a strong chance he'll make more fighting Jones and Pavlik without Warren than he did his entire career with him.

Lol just kidding about the short bus ..But lets get serious for a second ..Ok Pavlik won't get Joe Margarito never got MW ..So what next ? Make the other meanigful fights ..Double A for middleweiht unification sounds good to me ..Then Pavlik can move to super middele then eventually to lt heavy ..There are plenty of other opponenets that he can beat to convince the rest of the doubters tht he's the truth ..1 quality win won't be enough to satisfy the masses ..

When it happens fair enough, until then, these are just more excuses for Joe, for failing to make up the match ups that matter.

Even if Calzaghe makes the Pavlik fight, its hardly turning the world on its head; it's just a damn site more credible fight then the RJJ one.

Excuses and reasons are simply the same thing viewed from different perspectives. I'm still holding out hopes that the fight happens, even if I'm not holding my breath for it. Unless either man gets upset in the meantime, it's too good a fight not to make. Might be wishful thinking on my part, but I won't bury the possibility just yet. :good

That 90% KO ratio includes 6 fighters who had never been stopped before. One undefeated champ, one two time former champ, one current 168 pound titlist, and one guy who had never even been knocked down. Try doing a little research before you make a fool of yourself, ignoramous!

Don't think so, he said he'll retire and I'm pretty sure he will. Pavlik already has more plans with Wright(or whoever else) next and Abraham right after it.
