Everyone knows RJJ is not what he was but it would be fitting for an old RJJ to put Calzaghe's lights out.
He's done that his whole career, he's supposed to be playing catch up now. Come to think of it, what was the his last fight supposed to be against 43 year old hopkins. Lots of people were saying he should have fought a real live opponent then!
Look most had Joe Calzaghe as too much for Pavlik until Pavlik destroyed his stable mate Lockett. Lockett might train in the same gym and have Enzo as his trainer but he is not JC by a long way. Joe would win over Pavlik a lot easier then he will against an old Jones. I bet Jones would fancy his chances taking a win against Pavlik if the Calzaghe fight was not out there. The reason Joe is fighting Jones is it will be his last fight and it will produce more money. That's it. There is no fear. Joe is done with boxing as a fighter. Good on him I say. Even if he bashes Jones and then fought Pavlik and won you lot would still line up another opponent that he must fight or claim he is not the real deal. Abraham will give Pavlik a tough fight and has every chance of winning. Both Pavlik and Abraham would lose to Kessler. Who beat Kessler last year?
Calzaghe is a slimy git. He moaned for years that the big USA fighters were avoiding him and then they throw themselves at his feet. He picks 40 year old rusty Jones.
I'm not sure you can yet class Pavlik as a big name US fighter. I don't understand the sudden change of heart though. Joes been talking about fighting Pavlik for a long, long time.
Sometimes I feel that I have drifted into some sort of twisted parallel universe. Kessler to beat Abraham and Pavlik? have a word with yourself :nono
