If Pavlik fights and loses to Kessler how would you then view Calzaghe?

    "Pavlik is hyped" will be all over, very typical with boxing discussions.

    The Pavlik fight is a lose/lose situation for Joe
    If Calzaghe defeats him and retires people will now pull AA out of their ass and say Joe is running from him.
    **** will never end, I say Joe fight's Roy and let's these young buck's beat eachother down.
    (At 36 Joe has nothing to prove, If he was 31 ect...different story)

    Styles make fights and I think Pavlik loses to both. But I think Jones will beat Cal. But Pav can beat Jones now and maybe then

    :good

    Wont mean ****. Calzaghes stocks grew when he beat kessler full stop. Doesn't need to prove anythin at his age. Had a good run. Should cash in on the fight against RJJ and then retire to his cottage in wales. No reason to risk his 0 now that his on thehome stretch.

    Mikkel Kessler needs a couple of showcase fight's outside of Europe.
    or maybe one "Superfight" in the states like the Miranda fight as AA just did to be in talks.

    Kessler vs Green and Bute will be good. But I would love to see Kessler vs Dawson

    styles make fights just because a guy looses to one or two people does'nt mean much unless he gets destroyed like miranda last night. I'd rather see a guy fight the best and end his career with a few losses than see mayweather not figth the best and not ever loose.

    it would solidify Kessler as a top quality win for Calzaghe

    Last time I checked, Mikkel Kessler was a super-middleweight contender. Kelly Pavlik is the Middleweight World Champion.

    So, WHY would this fight come off? It would be good money, but I don't think it's a Superfight at this point (Kessler fought well but ultimately lost to Joe Calzaghe in his last big one).

    I think Pavlik would be better served to face a MIDDLEWEIGHT, such as Felix Sturm, or, I don't know, ARTHUR ABRAHAM!!!
