    I like Joe, but he's ****ed up this time.

    He's gone on about fighting Pavlik and how he doesn't want to fight Jones as he's past it....

    ....and then announces that he wants to fight Jones and not Pavlik :patsch

    He's dug himself the hole and jumped in it good and proper.

    I think Calzaghe would school Pavlik, but he's made himself look a dickhead here.

    He said similar stuff about not fighting Kessler at first too before the fight happened.

    RJJ is a legend, Pavlik is not a legend. I think most fans do not give 2 shits whether RJJ is past it.

    This is almost as bad as writing it into your contract that you'll fight a guy and then refusing to for years

    How bigger hole would that be onourway? Hypothetically, of course...

    Well, in that case, the person whose name got written into the contract fought so badly that TV networks refused to show that fight, so the contract theoretically became void.

    Whereas the guy in question this time is a KO artist who KO'd a massive puncher, beat up the man at MW twice and is fresh off destroying a stablemate of the man who supposedly wanted to fight him, they're both apparently getting offered good money and TV networks would love it.

    So they're not comparable.

    You are wriggling your way out nicely, newbies might be convinced :lol:

    Doesn't quite hold up to scutiny though.

    i get the feeling he will fight both. Jones is a tougher fight in my opinion than Pavlik.

    :lol: :patsch

    on Calzaghe - it's not like it's the first time he has come across as a dickhead.
    remember the faces he pulled and his clothes for the press announcement of the Lacy fight?

    If Joe Calzaghe want's a gimme fight in the twilight of his career, I'm hardly going to grudge him for it.

    Besides, we all know what the revisionists and spinsters would say in hindsight: ' blown up MW...exposed in the 2nd round vs Taylor...who did he actually beat outside of the mediocre Taylor and one dimensional slugger Miranda?'

    Frank Warren who was in charge of the two fighters said it, who am I to argue?
