Kelly Pavlik is one amazing fighter. Even against a vastly under-rated fighter, he used the fight against Lockett to hone his skills.

It would be dream to see him fight Joe Calzaghe.

That would be a great fight. Did JC hang up his gloves after the Hopkins fight?
Since there are no good fighters for him, he needs to move to the UFC [evil] It would be awesome to see a great pro boxer over there.

My understanding was JC wants to fight Pavlik. I think Lockett trains with JC in the same gym, so this was a great opportunity for Calzaghe to scout his opponent.
Pavlik is a great set-up puncher and finisher. I really enjoy watching him fight. I think him going at it with Calzaghe would be epic, and I really hope someone puts this fight together.

///this debate rages ad nauseum on Sherdog's forums, but sufice to say there's plenty of free youtube video evidence of really good boxers failing to transition well to MMA.
