    How did Pavlik get exposed as no treat to Joe??? Does Calzaghe fight like Hopkins??? No. STyles make fights and juts cause Hopkins beat Pavlik doesn't mean that Calzaghe can.

    And why is it just america fighters??? Kessler wasn't hyped to beat Calzaghe???

    The fact is Calzaghe only beat Lacy.

    The Dawson hype on here only started after the Tarver fight. Tarver has been on a downhill slide for a couple of years now. He has serious stamina issues that suggest he is shot.

    Agreed. In fact Tarver is actually beating on death's door - with that arm weary display at the end of the Dawson fight I feared he was going to collapse there & then. Allowing for Tarver's demise, Dawson's resume is far from impressive

    Ah, I see.

    Well, you may be ok with deciding who is the champion on the basis of who you fancy the most, but the rest of us will stick with the traditional method of deciding it in the ring, thanks.

    So what you just said is......... Calzaghe is a ****** and is happy fighting shot fighters as long as they bring a big pay check.

    :think

    Hopkins schooled Pavlik, exposed him as a one dimensional fighter who is out of his depth at Light Heavyweight. After that there was absolutely no reason for Calzaghe to fight Pavlik. The point is that the hype of Pavlik didn't live up to the reality, the same may or may not be said of Dawson.

    He didn't. Neither did Calzaghe.
