    Shut up. Remember when you thought that Pavlik would destroy Calzaghe? How's that look now?

    Last I checked Calzaghe never fought Pavlik...

    If you think Calzaghe emulates Hopkins style, than you are wrong my friend :good

    Not saying Pavlik would destroy him, but the fight didn't happen so we won't ever know.

    How does that look now? It hasn't changed. It still looks like Calzaghe hid behind a version of Roy Jones that Shaun George would ****.

    Anyone with a functioning pair of eyes and a shred of boxing knowledge (aside from delusional Calzaghe haters) realizes that Joe would handle Pavlik with ease

    I tried telling this moron before that Pavlik wasn't all that, and he acted like he was the pre-Ali version Foreman condensed to 160 pounds. Stylistically, Pavlik would have no chance against Joe aside from a Hail Mary and even then, Joe has great recuperative abilities

    Assuming Pavlik is not fighting with an injury and an illness like he did against BHop: Pavlik KO10 Calzaghe. Joe is WAY to flawed to keep Pavlik off of him. He knows that. It's why he ran like a ***** when the whole boxing world wanted the fight.

    Hate to argue with you Barry but -

    Jimmy Wilde
    Lennox Lewis
    Ken Buchanan (Bias)

    Were all better.

    Some would also argue Turpin, Conteh, Fitzsimmons, Driscoll etc to be better too.

    I think he is a top 5 british fighter, but not top 5 overall.

    Shaun george?! HA!
    Idiot! Was that off the win of a completely shot and severly weight drained chris byrd? Radley, i know you're a complete joke of a poor excuse of a wanna-be boxing fan, but you've def slipped to a new low.

    It's official Joe calzaghe has retired to DUCK shaun george.
    What a ****ing moroon!!
