Who should Calzaghe fight? Roy Jones, Kelly Pavlik, etc.?

Question

Just wondering if there is anyone out there who can beat this guy?

Answer 1

Pavlik! JC would not be able to handle Pavlik's power what-so-ever.  I can see it now......Pavlik walking through those pitty pat punches and landing that super powerful right. LIGHTS OUT! Pavlik vs. Calzaghe would be awesome, just not for Calzaghe.

Answer 2

Kelly Pavlik would KO this guy.  Roy Jones would have an outside chance, but he has looked pretty old lately.

Without a doubt if he does not want his O to go, he will stay away from a pavlik fight.

I think Calzaghe at the weight he is at loses to:

Jermaine Taylor

Edison Miranda

Kelly Pavlik

I think Calzaghe doesn't have the speed Taylor does and he would get jabbed to death; Pavlik and Miranda both are too strong for him.  These three were all on the same fight card last year.

Answer 3

roy jones first to erase all 'what if'. calzaghe will win this fight.

after that he can fight pavlik

Answer 4

He should fight Kelly Pavlik or he should retire.  It should have been Pavlik VS Calzaghe,not Calzaghe VS Hopkins in the first place. Forget Jones Etc.Etc. Calzaghe would beat them all.

Come to america and fight the fight you should have fought in the first place. You beat Pavlik in america and you have nothing more to prove.

Answer 5

im a massive calzaghe fan and im welsh also and i think that pavlik would be to much for jc you have to remember that calzaghe is at the end of his career too, he has nothing to prove to the world anymore and if i was him i would fight roy jones or tarver but avoid chad dawson and pavlik at all costs if he wants to retire with his o still in tact

Answer 6

If he is smart, he won't fight Pavlik. Pavlik's straight, hard punches will go right through those windmill slaps.

Answer 7

Yeah I would love to see a Calzaghe vs. Pavlik fight, but if Calzaghe is smart he'll avoid that fight at all cost. Pavlik is in his prime and has shown that he is a great boxer by knocking out Edison Miranda and by knocking out and winning by decision to Jermain Taylor.

Calzaghe vs. Jones would be the most popular and most profitable fight, but if he wanted to be consider one of the greatest in this era, then he would have to fight Pavlik. Either way both fights would be very entertaining.

Answer 8

roy jones has already called out calzaghe and wants the fight to take place in november (nothing official yet),

and we don't know what paclik is like as a light heavy, but for the moment he should stay at middleweight and clean up the division while he can still make the weight,

Answer 9

calzaghe was not that impressive to watch....so im not sure why you worded it the way you did....

but to answer your question kelly pavlik could stop calzaghe real quick. pavlik can take a BEATING (i capitalized that because i want to emphasize beating) and keep fighting without a problem. pavlik can take solid hits and be unphased....he also has a powerful punch. hed only need one clean punch (like hopkins had in the first round....except hopkins cant hit as hard as pavlik can) and calzaghe would be done for the fight.

as for calzaghe fighting roy jones....jones is nearing the end of his career....hes getting old. no one can be 100% sure as to how he would perform in the fight (although he proved he still had some fight left in him when he fought trinidad)

^^^to the poster above me

i loved the undercard to that fight! (pavlik-miranda) it had probably the most enjoyable rounds of boxing i watched all year
