    He lost to a better fighter. Simple as that. Hopkins beat him with speed and far superior skill, not size.

    Pavlik is still king at 160, unlike, Khan who ain't the king at nothing.

    I gotta go with Margarito. People had him unbeatable after that Cotto fight.

    Im going to argue but the fight wouldn't of been that lopsided if it was at 160.

    Weight bothered Pavlik who was clearly not the stronger man like hes use to being.

    Margo if you ignore the potential for cheat can't be considered even though he got served. He'd been a champ for a very long time and had beaten many top fighters.

    Pavlik had only really beaten one top fighter and people were already putting him in the top ten p4p, his ass got exposed.

    And Mijares got the **** smaked out of him after only beating afew good guys and like pavlik also was already being rated in the top 10 p4p.

    But the biggest exposure has got to have been Khan, simply because the other two fighters at least had to have beat some one before they got any credit. This guy was being touted as the next ODLH but as it turns out he has trouble with, um, how do I put this...really fighters. EXPOSED:hi:

    yeah I agree. I guess it depends on what you mean by hype train. If your going on hype by the promoters, then he's got to take it. Personally I like it better when these promoter based hype jobs get beat then when its guys are fan based hype jobs, usually these guys at least have beat someone.

    could be Sam Peter the way his nuthuggers were hyping him up here saying he was going to KO the Iron Chinned Vitali Klitschko.

    Instead he got his ass kicked and embarrassed and he quit on his stool rather than that a beating like a man.
