If Calzaghe rejects Jones for Pavlik, will he still be a "ducker"?

If he rejects a Jones fight his team is very stupid. Least risk and higher payday.

 

if he fight Jones, he is a coward, if Pavlik is such a one dimentional fighter, go for it

 

• Lacy was the next Tyson at the time.
• Kessler was the best out there at the time.
• Bika was a good test.
• Manfredo was a crappy match up and i fully agree why on each did JC fight him.
• BHop avoided JC.
• Sven isn't in his league and needs to prove himself more.
• Glenn Johnson maybe you have a point, but did JC duck him or was it boxing politics.

 

Joe isn't a ducker but i think a fight with Pavlik would better for his legacy.

 

I'm a bit disappointed. Pavlik is a middleweight and Jones is a light heavy who has boxed at heavy so you can see why Joe would favour Pavlik. I was actually hoping he'd fight Tarver, Dawson or Johnson. I think they stand a much better chance of beating him than Pavlik but I can understand that it's partly about money.

 

The only way Calzaghe won't be a ducker is if he fights a LHW (the only respectable division he has fought in).

So that leaves

Antonio Tarver
Chad Dawson
Glenn Johnson
Roy Jones Jr.

What glory is there in getting a MW to move to SMW or LHW, ie fighting a smaller man, fight a peer.

 

• Your points are good but I disagree with 3 and 5. They were the only time Joe actually went and took a risk in fighting one of the best guys out there.

 

Too much credit is given to Lacy wins. Don't give me that US people were loving Lacy crap either. I didn't give a damn about the fight because SMW is a weak division.

 

Lacy was a fellow world champ, and a dangerous one at that; it was pretty much the best fight he could make in the division.

You've got to give plenty of credit given that it was one of the most one-sided unification fights you could ever wish to see.

 

Lacy may not have been the best but it was good that Calzaghe finally fought for a genuine world title. Lacy was rated number three by The Ring if I remember correctly so it seems silly to have a go at him for noty fighting Mundine.

 

Don't get me wrong Jones was one of the best but since the fights with
Tarver and Glen Johnson he shouldn't been in the top of the P4P rankings
If Calzaghe fight's him and wins it wouldn't mean much for the fans
everyone would say that Jones was too old and out of shape.
Pavlik is nr 1 in middleweight and a young star
Mabye a win of Calzaghe over Pavlik would he huge in 10 years.
Maybe Pavlik would have a record of 50-1 or something like that
and Calzaghe would be the one who beat him.

 

lol Pride OF Wales I kno your bullshittin b/c you are a Calzaghe fan. But ok.....

 

rjj does nothing for calzaghe's career at this point, save for adding a recognizable name to his ledger. dawson/pavlik would be a better option.

 

He should fight Pavlik cause if doesn't, people will say he ducked him.
