Pavlik's trainer: We'd fight Calzaghe

Although Kelly Pavlik plans to stay at the middleweight level for at least a few more fights, his trainer, Jack Loew, said they’d be willing to move up a weight class to fight Joe Calzaghe.

“That’s the only reason we would go, to fight Joe Calzaghe,” Loew said. “That would be a huge, huge event. He’s the only guy out there that would make us do that.

“We’re not going to move up to super middleweight to fight Humpty Dumpty.”

Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, whose company promotes Pavlik, told Yahoo! on Wednesday that he’d been in discussions with Calzaghe’s promoter, Frank Warren, about a fight with Pavlik in November. Warren also promotes Gary Lockett, who will fight Pavlik for the middleweight title on June 7.
