    No. There is one. Down in Idamay. They surprised folk immediatly covered it with a ball field. Well, that's what my cousin told me when I asked though. ;)

    get a grip boo,pavlik is every bit as robotic and predictable as kessler,only not as good.don't get me wrong i like the kid,love his heart and sure he can bang,but he's one of those group of fighters on here who attract huggers and ends up overrated.

    My head says that Calzaghe would win, but some other intuitive sense is telling me otherwise. So I'll go for Pavlik, even if logically Calzaghe would prove FAR too clever for Pavlik.

    pavlik just doesn't have a style that joe would struggle with, it would be a fight similar to the kessler fight and joe would win by points, although pavlik will have his moments due to his punching power, but as kessler admitted joe is a master at breaking down attacks and absorbing your best shots and instead of stepping off he comes back with shots himself, kind of stunning you as he comes back fighting harder, throwing you off the advantage you had when you think u had him in trouble

    While Joe is certainly intelligent I think awkward would be a better word to describe him than clever...as well Joe doesnt fight a slicksters fight and his offense is about as clever as Pavliks defense:deal
    Pavlik on the other hand is equally as intelligent and adaptive
    This fight comes down to both being hit alot but Joe not surviving the power AND volume that Pavlik dishes out....it will be a close fight before Joe goes to sleep....and sleep he will:yep
    I know many will say "Well Kessler is strong and he didnt effect Joe at all." this is only true because Kessler only landed around 10-15 punches per round not throwing much at all...

    At this stage of Joes career he is easier to hit. That being said Pavlik would have to tune up his in-fighting game, but he is a very strong and adaptable fighter which would ultimately be calzaghes downfall in this fight.

    Pavlik beats the limited Taylor twice and suddenly Calzaghe doesn't have a chance? Get real ffs. Don't get me wrong, I like Pavlik but he doesn't have much chance of beating Calzaghe, yet.

    Anyone who thinks that Pavlick would hammer Calzaghe probably thought Lacy and Kessler would too. Nuff sed.

    Only chance Pavlik has in this fight is if Calzaghe gets very old overnight.

    A prime Calzaghe would stop Pavlik in 3 rounds.

    Calzaghe at the moment would stop him around 8 or 9.
