"Joe Calzaghe is Scared of Kelly Pavlik," Says Jack Loew

[RodBarker]

Why say its about money , I dont think there would be much between the two fights money wise ,I think its more like money versus risk , for slightly more money with a lot less risk he can have a shot Jones , selling Jones is no different than selling Kelly , the people that know about Roy Jones knows he is shot , the people that know about Pavlik know he is prime and a bad ass , the marketers can sell both fights near on a par with each other , whats comming out of Joe is all bull**** , he named Kelly , Enzo named Kelly before Lowe said a word about Calzaghe , now after Lockett they say he aint up to it , and Kelly dont want the fight ,, if you believe that bull**** your very gullible .

Joe wants Jones because he is shot and very beatable , Joe would like the name on his resume , he dont care if they are faded champs so long as he gets the name , thats all thats important to him , Eubanks Bhop and Jones has a combined age of 113 , Joe is UK version of Ottke and will never be rated around the world like they will rate him in the UK , Im going to laugh if Roy pulled out one last supreme effort and beat him then all his cherry picking is down the drain .

Joe C gets bigger money for a fight wit RJ, and even tho I think Roy will beat him, I understand his choice. I'd still love to see Joe take on Pavlik at 168 tho.

Pavlik is no way near the name of Jones. Jones just fought Tito on PPV and did good numbers, I doubt Pavlik is even close to being able to carry a PPV.

Pavlik should just fight Kessler, unless he's "scared" and if he wins then call Joe out and he'd probably take the fight.

Why is Pavliks team not going after Kessler, since he just called him out?

He's "scared", didn't you know?

[mojack]

Who's Pavlik fought?
How many numbers can Pavlik bring to the table PPV wise?

There's your answer. Now quit, that's why Calzaghe's picked RJJ.

Calzaghe did duck Pavlik but that is all because he can get a better payday against Roy Jones.

So then, that isn't really ducking is it?

[Pullcounter]

Jack Loew, trainer of WBC/WBO middleweight Kelly Pavlik (34-0, 30 KOs), says Joe Calzaghe (45-0, 32 KOs) is running scared from his fighter. Top Rank has been trying to negotiate with Calzaghe's promoter Frank Warren to make the fight. Last week, Calzaghe announced that he was more interested in fighting Roy Jones Jr. He said Pavlik was not a big enough name to become the final opponent of his career. [details]

calzaghe probably isn't afraid of pavlik, but fighting roy jones is going down the path of least resistance.

I'd rather see calzaghe/pavlik.

[Chunk..]

Not really ducking, just common sense. Roy Jones will get Joe the biggest payday of his life, enough to secure the future of his family and so on.

Joe has a right to a big payday, then outclass Pavilk to shut people up, then walk off into the sunset.

[mojack]

Let's get a one thing straight here girls.

I don't understand this "Calzaghe is afraid of Pavlik" bollocks you're reading to much into.

If I were Joe, then I'd rather fight Pavlik over Hopkins, Kessler or RJJ anyday of the week.

Calzaghe fights anyone provided the money makes sense.
