    in your opinion it is yes,

    Calzaghe - too fast for b-pops, hes going to shove that i beat 'southpaws' comment so far up his old A$$ it'll be coming back out of his oversized gob! Pavilk simply doesnt have the tools, if jermain Taylor can almost ko him, what the hell will Joe do, he certainly won let him get back up.

    joe calzaghe is a 10 year champ. hasn't been beaten once in his entire pro career and is the first undisputed SMW champion of the world. he has beaten champs and ex champs such as kessler, eubank, reid, lacy, woodhall, brewer, mitchell as well as tough mofos like sika and sheika. calzaghe is an elite fighter, elite fighters do not get "exposed".

    if floyd loses his next fight he won't have been exposed.
    if cotto does he won't have been exposed.
    the same for JMM, pacman, guzman and a whole host of other fighters.

    if joes loses he won't have been exposed as he is an elite.

    you on the other hand are a window licking ***git.

    BHOP can neutrilize Pavlik's right hand bombs. Even with that said i still think Pavlik takes BHOP today or even when he was 39 for that matter.

    I think Hopkins would take this one with hes ring generalship and counterpunching. Not good style match up for Pavlik.

    Hopkins can't even drop down in weight put CAlzaghe's super-middleweight belts on the line for their matchup in April. Going to 160 is simply too much for him at this point. But based back on when he fought Taylor at 160, I think it'd be an extremely close fight with Pavlik coming out on top. Hopkins is effectively in the same boat as Taylor. Yes he can counter the Pavlik's right but that won't stop Pavlik from jabbing him all fight long, and using his superior workrate and stanima to run him down.

    your disrespectful bull**** of fighters seems to be the norm with some.

    whoever loses come april 19th will not have been exposed. get that into your thick skull. these guys are too ****ing good to be given that label.

    one's a two weight world champ and the other's the undisputed champ of his division and undefeated. there will be zero exposing.
