    Im hearing it will be in Vegas. JC will have another match at the beginning of the year against Jones Jr or Tarver at the Millenium as a send off.

    Man Pavlik vs Calzaghe is huge, Joe is gonna beat him up for 12 rounds though. I have no idea why Arum is making this fight.

    It does seem a stupid move for Arum...great move for the fans though; what a fight this one could be.

    I think Kessler is better than Pavlik tbh.

    I'd take Kessler over Pavlik at 168.

    I think Calzaghe would school Pavlik, as long as he doesn't get dragged into a toe to toe war.

    When he boxes like he did in rounds 5-11 of the Kessler fight he is at his best, toying with the opponent coming forward.

    I seriously think this is an easy fight for Joe.

    Any guy whose main weapon is the jab is going to struggle against Calzaghe, because he takes it away from any opponent.

    Pavlik will have to come with something new to win this.

    Its coz Arums not Sports Network - he tests his fighters..... and always gives value for money as a result.

    i still think pavlik is underated, he has big power, good chin, puts his punches together nicely, punches straight a lot of the time, good stamina. tough fight for joe imo.

    Add to that he is a huge MW, good recovery powers, good finisher
