# 1 Kelly Pavlik vs Joe Calzaghe Pavlik will walk through the slaps of Slappy Joe and stop in 11th brutal rounds. # 2 Kelly Pavlik vs Mikkel Kessler All I can say if feather fist like Slappy Joe can hurt Kessler to the body just think what a real banger like Pavlik will do him KO 8 :yep # 3 Kelly Pavlik vs Lucian Bute One sided beat down as Pavlik will out class Bute all the way KO 7 :hey # 4 Carl Froch The crude Froch falls in 4 to Pavlik USA! USA! USA!:tong :tong :tong
I see Calzaghe schooling Pavlik if they fight which is quite possible, Pavilk seems more one dimensional to Kessler to me. I still think there will be great fights in the future Kessler/Pavlik wise. If Pavlik wants to keep his 0 I'd avoid Calzaghe and stay at middle if he beats Taylor.
I don't know whats worse - the insults to Calzaghe or thinking Pavlik Ko's all 4 I like Pavlik a lot and he beats anyone at 160 but 168 is much tougher.I certainly think he is better than Froch and he should be good enough to beat Bute.If he fought either Calzaghe or Kessler he would be the underdog IMO.They would be great match-ups but Pavlik needs more seasoning before he faces Kessler or Calzaghe
I would favor him against 3 out of the 4 of the fighters you named, I feel Kessler would give him trouble early on, but Pavliks workrate and power would eventually take it's toll on Kessler. Calzaghe would probably beat him by decision, Calzaghe's good enough to avoid Pavliks big punches, and end up winning in the end.
Calzaghe UD 12 over Pavlik Pavlik vs. Kessler - now this would be a fight!!!! Someone gets KO'd for sure Pavlik beats Bute and Froch.
If Pavlik can beat Carl Froch we may give him a shot at some exposure over here I fear Froch is too big a puncher though :-(
It's amazing how the Eur-0-Peans over rate there fighters, take Joe Calzaghe a very good aggressive south paw who' tricky but no all time great by any means :verysad Sure he beat the crude slugger Jeff Lacy and stiff up right boxer puncher Mikkel Kessler but both men are in own way one dimensional and not good all around fighter like Kelly Pavlik is:nono Whats the English Muffin gonna do out box Pavlik from long range? Kelly taller and has a better jab and Joe will be at end of Pavlik's punches:bbb What the English Muffin Gonna slug it out Kelly and throw 1000 a fight, Pavlik throws almost as many punches and there much MUCH HARDER!!!!:bbb No one out slugs Kelly Pavlik just ask Edison Miranda:smooch It a good thing for Joe he is running away from Super middles to fight old men Hopkins because The White Bob Foster would crush him:!: the English Muffin does not stand a Ghost of a chance:yikes
Whats funny is I said for some time that Calzaghe should move up to Lt. Heavyweight - where his toughest opposition is. None of Calzaghe's fans ever agreed with that. I wonder why.
Pavlik would beat up Froch. He's got better skills and is far more proven. Bute would be an interesting one but I'd still go with KP by decision. Kessler might stop him early if Pavliks defense isn't tightned up, otherwise a clear but uncomfortable ud for Kessler. Pavliks pressure will cause MK problems if his chin holds up to Kesslers 1-2. Calzaghe will never allow KP to set his feet, he'll keep him off balance, read his left lead (like he did Kesslers) with his own southpaw jab and generally confuse the **** out of Pavlik.
I often wonder why people overlook this matchup. This has foty written all over it. I bet both fighters would hit the canvas before it's over
