Looks like there's a 50%50 chance we will see Pavlik vs Calzaghe in 2008:good If both get past there next opponents. I am pretty much think The Ghost will beat Duddy or Taylor in there rematch but The Dragon vs the Viking is a real pick em fight:bbb But be that as it may both Arum, Calzaghe and Pavlik seem to want the fight:happy http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/sports/sports-news-round-up/2007/10/20/boxing-calzaghe-ready-for-the-ghost-91466-19979742/
I truly think that Joe AND Enzo are way to obsessed with the idea of post-Kessler. To me this is an insanely stupid way to prepare for the biggest fight in Joes career. In the mind of Joe Calzaghe there shouldnt be other fights than Kessler . I see Hybris/nemesis written all over this behaviour. :nono
Dont worry about buying CDs, beer, and gear that white people use. Just put a picture of Pavlik, your daddy, on your wall.
Cool, you pan put it on right after Pavlik pawns your boy Taylor (its a fairly short fight, kind of like Taylors reign as a champ). :good
But does Pavlik have a "Ghost" of a chance? Calzaghe is no ordinary "Joe". This "Dragon" could "drag in" Pavlik into his lair.
Then if you're a fan of Calzaghe you should be ashamed of him calling out a man from a lower division that you feel he would easily dominate? NO? It would be no different for me if it were time to really worry about Pav's legacy, he started calling out Jr. Middles instead of worthy challengers from his or higher divisions. I have never heard the ghost in any interviews or from Team Pavlik saying they want Calzaghe. Pavlik is 25, just won his belt in his last fight, and needs some experience before he takes on a 10 year champion from a higher division. Calzaghe IMO and although Pav has been my favorite for a couple years is taking the easy way out if he beats Mikkel in not calling out Hops, Dawson, Bute, Diocanu, or others. You don't IMO improve your legacy by calling out fighters from lower divisions. NOW, if Pavlik comes out public himself saying he is ready for Calzaghe as a long fan I will have to believe him if HE feels he has a chance and will back him to the end. But as a realistic fan of the man, IMO he's not ready for Cal or Kess just yet.
Kelly has some work to do in his division ie Abraham and Sturm to unify the belts- He is very big on that. Don't be mistaken ,Kelly would go to Whales or Germany to fight either. He's a fighter who is very confident of his skills and would cash in on a HUGE payday if that's what Mr. Arum and Team Pavlik decided it was bst.
Calzaghe is dreaming now but it will end as a nigthmare for him. All his talk about who he wants to figth, is about convincing himself that there is a future after Kessler, the worst way to prepare imo. Kessler is not talking about who and when, he's focused on Nov. 3
