    So - who wants to see Pavlik - Calzaghe this summer?

    It would probably be Joe's last fight so he wants to go out on a good one and I think that would be as good as it gets.

    It would sell out Wembley or Cardiff for sure.

    Looking at Pavlik fight last night I'm sure Joe would be up for it. Pavlik just doesn't have the tools to beat him.

    Yeah why not but it would mean Joe coming back down to 168. Firstly do you think he'll want to do that & secondly do you not think it could harm him?

    I think it has the potential to be a hugely exciting fight but I would see a fairly comfortable win for Joe because I just don't think Pavlik has enough variety to his work.

    I dont think it will harm him as he's not actually adding any weight to fight at LHW, just doing a bit less dieting.

    He said a couple of weeks back he's like the Pavlik-Taylor winner after he fights Hops.

    It would certainly hold more credibility than a fight with Roy Jones.:good

    Calzaghe did say he was able to make 168 for future defenses, joe does also get to keep his belts, but can you imagine pavlik fighting calzaghe within a few months? a wud love it to happen but doubt it will!

    I think Joe will stay at Lightheavy and go after a title holder (so he is technically regarded 2 weight champ).

    It would be a great fight but I'd prefer Pavlik to unify the 160lb division.

    I only see a Jones fight happening if Joe decides he wants 2 fights after hopkins, Jones keeps winning and Joe decides he wants the name (and money coz it would sell well) over a credible live opponent such as Woods or Dawson.

    I think he would. But its about time the new Wembley gets sold out for a boxing match.

    I don't see it happening, but I'd like to see it. Joe would school Kelly. That's pretty much guaranteed.

    If you honestly think this, I think you are simply unable to appreciate a great boxer. Kelly Pavlik is no risk whatsoever to Calzaghe.

    i think joe would beat kelly, wide UD or late stoppage, but nothing is guaranteed in boxing
