    Pavlik can outwork and hurt anyone in the MW and SMW division. As for Taylor being half the fighter Joe is, he might be, but Pavlik maade short work of him anyways so I dont see your point.

    Point was that Taylor was competitive and nearly took him out at that, took Pavlik some rounds of breaking him down to do the job, he would never have the oppurtunity with Calzaghe.

    Pavlik will have no success at SMW, these guys are superior to the MW crop.

    I don't know that I quite agree with you on that one. I think the SMW division is full of talent, and under-appreciated, but it's nowhere near what you make it out to be. Andrade is a perfect recent example.. almost got beaten by a generously experienced Mack, who if not for his own stupid mistakes, probably could've won the fight, and even then he was giving Andrade a run for his money, and even hurting him in the process.

    The Super Middleweight division is far more advanced in skill and overall general boxing ability than the 160 division.

    The 160 division is just about the worst we have seen it for some time.

    I mean look at the 168 division and you have names like
    Joe Calzaghe
    Mikkel Kessler
    Anthony Mundine
    Lucian Bute
    Carl Froch
    Jeff Lacy
    Denis Inkin
    Alejandro Berrio
    Vitali Tyspko
    Sakio Bika
    Sam Soliman
    Allan Green
    Giovanni Lorenzo

    And Middleweight has well
    Jermain Taylor
    Kelly Pavlik
    Arthur Abraham
    Cory Spinks
    Kassim Ouma
    Roman Karmazin
    Felix Sturm
    John Duddy
    Edison Miranda

    Does it even compare.

    Depending on the order, Calzaghe could probably dispose of all three, on the same night.

    Although Pavlik has a few things to improve on, he's not two steps below Dawson or Kessler. He'll give either one of them a hell of a fight. Dawson hasn't been tested yet, Adamek was not as good as Taylor. Kessler hasn't impressed me either, his true test is gonna be Calzaghe. Taylor is not an easy fighter to beat, he wasn't just gonna give up his belt to Pavlik and he defended it like a true champion. Just because Pavlik beat Taylor doesn't mean that Calzaghe beats Taylor.

    From what I can see, they are about equal. There are a lot of unproven fighters at 168.

    How about a prime Dariusz Michalczewski at 175? Mike McCallum at 168? Virgil Hill at 175?

    How about Rocky Marciano at 175? :) Not as ridiculous as it sounds - I checked boxrec and Marciano fought as low as 178. Calzaghe would have no chance at 175 against the Rock though would he?

    Any Calzaghe fans want to dispute otherwise and give us a laugh?
