Calzaghe vs Pavlik resumes... Calzaghe's first 34 wins compared to Pavliks

[ACHlLLES]

I know they're in different weight class, but who do you think fought the tougher competition in there first 34 fights? Like did one of these fighters look like they were trying to take an easier route while the other one looked like he took on tougher competition?

[Shanus]

Pavlik fought a weight drained Edison Miranda and an overrated Jermain Taylor.

Calzaghe fought a GAME Chris Eubank, he was on the slide but he was still a world level fighter, a prime Robin Reid who is extremely underrated, Omar Sheika who had just came off a win against Glen Johnson and a former champion in Richie Woodhall.

I don't think it's even debateable, considering that Pavlik has only fought one world class opponent in Jermain Taylor, and a one dimensional fighter in Edison Miranda.

[Dick-Sucker]

Calzaghe. Pavliks opponents have been limited.

[ACHlLLES]

I think I actually agree, but I don't think pavliks resume is as bad as some of you are making out to be. Your forgetting zertuche, zuniga, mckart. So that totals, Taylor, Taylor, Miranda, Zertuche, Zuniga, and Mckart. Those are all 6 good wins against quality opponents at that time.

So Now Taylor is overrated? Was He Overrated Before the fight? Eubank was at the end of his rope hence the 2 losses after the fight with Joe then a quick retierment. Calz has made a name off of nobodys' with the exception of B-hop, Now That Pavlik wants to fight Calz now pavlik's resume is ****? Calz got knocked down by the guy JT went to fights standing with and won, even at 43 hop made calz look like a fool.

As Far was world class,Hopkins was the only opponent that Joe faced and Lacy was a one dimensional fighter so that can't be in this statement.

Bro please

Pavlik KO 11

calzaghe wasnt well known in his 1st 34 fights and didnt have the hype pavlik has with him. having said that calzaghe is the better fighter imo

Just hilariously inept and fanboyish.

[Pugilistic™]

Calzaghe had the better resume.

Just hilariously inept and fanboyish.

i agree
i must raise it on that statement

[MELLY-MEL...]

i look at it like this. at 26 yrs old joe had 25 fights, and pavlik has 35 fights including his with bhop. it's close as far as resume, but age for age pavlik is doing quite well for a 26 yr old kid who is the recognized mw champion of the world, and farther along than joe was at that time. pavlik is only 10 fights behind joe, and is 10 yrs younger. that is impressive for his age.
