Froch indicated he would continue his lengthy pursuit of Calzaghe after dispatching Jean Pascal but the 31-year-old is no longer seduced by the prospect of a big-money domestic showdown and would rather face Pavlik, who was hammered on points by Bernard Hopkins in October.

"My argument is not will Joe Calzaghe fight me because maybe I don't want to fight Joe Calzaghe," he told Setanta Sports.

"I might not give him the chance. Kelly Pavlik is a much bigger and more exciting fight than Calzaghe. I'd relish the opportunity.

"Joe Calzaghe vacated the WBC title rather than fight me. He's been offered good money - he's been offered £5 million and the fight is genuine.

"For him to say he could stop me in three or four rounds is laughable.

"He doesn't stop anybody. He fought Roy Jones Junior - that should have been a four round fight really."
