    By two ATG fighters who happened to be the best of their time. :roll:
     
  4. Theres a difference between getting beat by a walking HoF Legend and getting exposed. Pavlik doesn't belong in this discussion at all. Taylor was the undisputed champ when KP starched his ass... that was Pavlik's chance to get "exposed" and what he did in stead was exactly what he was supposed to. Everyone but Hopkins has been laid to waste by Pavlik, it confuses me as to why he's being mentioned here.

    This discussion is more for guys like:
    Marvis Frazier (exposed in a KO1 by Holmes)
    Andy Lee (exposed in a gimme fight against a Contender loser)
    Joel Julio (Exposed in an easy UD by Quintana)
    Jeff Lacy (exposed thoroughly vs. Calzaghe, most thought Lacy was gonna KO him easy)
    Jaidon Codrington (18 second KO by Allan Green)
    Curtis Stevens (Forgot the name of the Tomato Can that ended his hype)

    Or here's one that no one has mentioned...
    Remember Anthony Hembrick? He was supposed to be the new ****... He had the same handlers as Riddick Bowe. One Night on USA Tuesday Night Fights him and his whole enterage did this elaborite ring entrance complete with a long dance routine... and was promptly KTFO in rd. 1 by Journeyman Booker T. Word. ****in hilarious.

    when were talking fighters. skills,Chin,Heart,Hype,Dedication,mental toughness? some fighters only have one thing to expose for example bad chins but don't lack in other dept> i would say i alwasy go for skills. so then Mijares comes to mind. was touted as being some genius at boxing and couldn/t cap italize on the mistakes Vic was amking that night
