Hang on, if Calzaghe fights Dawson and then retires, isn't he ducking Pavlik??

    When Joe had the chance to fight Kelly Pavlik he ran like a little girl. Unfortunately Kelly is in no position to push for a Calzaghe fight. Joe would have everything to lose and nothing to gain.

    Why is he in no position to push for a Calzaghe fight? If he was good enough then, why is he not good enough now?

    Joe should invest his legacy into LHW division and become real champion over there.

    At 168, or at middlelightheavyweight: 170.

    Isn't he already the real champion there, having beaten Hopkins? Oh, you mean he should beat the linear Champion, Erdei, is that it?

    So he's ducking Erdei if he's fighting Dawson instead...I never thought of that one!:good

    Calzaghe left 168 when the figt was in talks and it has been shown Pavlik is **** at 170.He looked bad at 164 vs Taylor.How would Calzaghe lose this I wonder?Pavlik has no lateral movement,no power,no speed,no nothing at 170.Useless fight

    He was ducking him, and picked Pavlik to beat Hopkins. He either over estimated Pavlik, or under estimated himself, so cherry picked Jones instead. He lucked out in a sense when Hopkins schooled Pavlik for him.

    I think Joe has a lot of confidence issues and that's why he's cherry picked a lot. He's **** scared of losing his 0. He says in his autobiography he wanted to pull out before the Lacy fight but Enzo convinced him not to.

    Joe's legacy is about being perhaps the best super middleweight of all time. this light heavyweight stuff is just for the $$.

    It doesn't matter whether Pavlik couldn't beat him. He's still ducking him! Just ask our Yank pals! If he ducked him before, he's still ducking him now!

    So if he ducked Pavlik because he was afraid of him and Hopkins then beat him, shouldn't Calzaghe fight the man who beat the man he was ducking, to prove he isn't scared?

    SMW isn't even a proper division...shouldn't Calzaghe beat the undisputed middleweight champ to prove he's the best MW, in the traditional sense of the terms?
