For those who missed it

Breaking news just in.... THAT GUY COULD PUNCH. That was really the only chance he had going in to this fight... A punchers one.

 

im no fan of mundines, though i respect his wasted talent. if mundine hit pavlik clean with a right hand, id expect pavlik to be in a bit of trouble.

but mundine IS a puncher. despite the nay sayers.

 

Mundine is a puncher... HAHAHAHAHA. Good one. Keep them coming. I guess someone forget to tell formidble guys like Neivas and Siaca that then hey???

 

I wouldn't go that far to say great fighter after great fighter. Bika and manfredo are hardly world beaters to someone like Joe. A 43 year old Hopkins certainly wasn't the biggest test out there either. Kessler and lacy were both good fighters in their prime, but that is about it. There isn't much talk about Pavlik v Calzaghe from what i have heard. He is going for RJJ instead. Which is a joke. Just wanting to pad the resume with much faded American legends. Look at the opposition guys like Manny Pac, Marquez, Cotto and other top p4p fighters have faced in recent times in comparison. It has certainly picked up from earlier in his career, but is still far from superb.

 

Whilst i believe that Joe still has too much class for Pavlik, this is a very close fight right now. Pavlik is better than people give credit for. Fast becoming one of my favourite fighters.

 

Pretty much how i see it.

 

November 15th Millenium Stadium Cardiff ( Formerly Cardiff Arms park for you Older Traveling Aussie gentlemen ) :yep Joe Calzaghe v kelly Pavlik .. done deal apparently . :happy Joe's retirement fund fight , U$ 20,000,000 i heared two weeks back . "Fan****ingtastic" Ippy Come on over fella the beers on me :deal & bring the Mutt with you .

 

I didnt think 2008 could get anywhere near the amount of quality fights that 07 did but its pretty close so far.

Pav vs Joe will be a great fight.

 

Kessler v Someone not called Mundine next , Pity about Choc not getting into the swing of things :verysad

 

I've resigned to the fact that it will be more nonsense than sense from now on. The sense bit is what im looking forward to

 

Bika is world class, but hardly a top level fighter, or tough comp for one of the p4p best in the sport. Floyd Mayweather in comparison has been bagged by everyone for fighting an "easy" option in Hatton. Hatton is still a class above Bika. Lacy was a good fighter, not a top p4p one though by any stretch. Just one of the top fighters in the division. Kessler wasn't a favourite on the betting sites i saw, yet alone heavy. Even fight, against a guy who was just outside the p4p top 10 once again. Hopkins at 43 wasn't undisputed, as Erdei and Dawson were legitimate title holders. Massive under dog as well, due to his age. Pavlik fight would be a good one, however Joe is going for jones. If he does, its disgraceful. There are so many better fights out there.

 

I would be very dissapointed if he fought Roy jones at this stage of his career. Pavlik is a tough, prime opponent, who realistically he should be able to beat. If he fights him, then YES, his recent opposition will have been excellent. If he goes for Jones though, it falls a bit short IMO.

 

Will the Pav v Calzage be at a catchweight of 170lbs :think
