I'm not a hater at all. Joe IS the best 168 lb fighter. Thats it and thats great. But we're talking about a weight class with much more depth. Kelly's previous castaways would give Joe trouble most educated people know this let alone Kelly himself. Joe would be better off getting in a car wreck than facing Kelly Pavlik
Calzaghe would own Pavlik so bad that Kelly would have to go around his house on Sundays and wash his cars. Pavlik wouldnt be able to cope with Calzaghe's movement, agility, speed, adaptability, jab (YES JAB) and ring intelligence. Pavlik impressed me against Taylor with heart, but at best he's a B+ fighter.
Joe would kill him. so would kessler. if taylor could nearly ko pavlik what do u think a harder puncher like joe would do?
