And I would agree, Thats why I'm putting my thoughts on the hypothetical prime calzaghe vs prime pavlik on hold for the moment.

What is funny to me is that Pavlik almost has a better resume than Calzaghe, and he's only 25 or 26 I think.

It is quite funny. Whats even funnier is that Calzaghes best win may be against BHOP although thats disputable. This took place when calzaghe was 36. Pavlik is doing it at 26. Same time frame as well. Pavlik will never be targeted as a person with a bad or even questionable resume.

I don't blame Calzaghe for not wanting to fight B-Hop again. Hes got the W and all Hopkins will do is spoil the fight and make him look awful again.

Thats a fair point. Personally, i don't see Pavlik getting that much better but who knows.

Calzaghe's resume is poor for a guy whos about to retire, but Pavlik's is hardly all that good just yet. Hes fought the best (respect to him for that) but Jermain Taylor is the only thing worth shouting about on his resume really, Miranda sucks but the manner in which he won was impressive.

The trash-talking has begun for the November 8 clash between Roy Jones Jr. and Joe Calzaghe, taking place at New York's Madison Square Garden. Jones says that Calzaghe will never be recognized as a truly great champion.

American boxing legend Roy Jones has warned Joe Calzaghe that he will never be recognised as a truly great champion. Jones says Calzaghe is just a good Euro fighter with too many questions mark that hang over his career resume.

"Joe is a long way from being the king of boxing in America" said Jones to The Mirror. "He's a good European fighter but there are too many question marks about his career. I have answered all my doubters and beaten living legends but Joe has too much catching up to do. He beat Bernard Hopkins but Hopkins was at the end of his career - and now he has to get past me."

After watching some of Welsh champion's fights, Jones says that he doesn't see any way that Calzaghe can possibly win.

"I've been looking at tapes of Joe's fights and I just can't see a way that he can beat me" continued Jones.
This fight would have been done and dusted if Calzaghe could have stayed injury free.
