Styles make fights and Kelly Pavlik did not have the footwork or Movement to Handle BHop thats is clear. However I do not see how that relates to the sudden estimation of Calzaghe, you still have to fight the fights and PavliK vs Calzaghe is a totaly different fight. However, there is a golden oppurtunity for Joe Calzaghe to prove his greatness and shut his critics up. The winner of Calzaghe vs Jones fights the winner of BHop vs Dawson and the ultimate winner is #1 at lightHeavy. That should solve all questions about greatness, who is number 1, and who is overrated, it would lay all that to rest.
I dont get how people put 2 and 2 together cause hops style is so different from calzaghe. Calzaghe doesnt really backpeddle like hopkins does so pavlik will have a fighter like calz in front of him more so then hopkins. Hopkin is a defensive wizard but calz is a unpredicable slapper(or striker.lol) styles make fights so dont get too carried away Calzaghe fan boys and gurls
You believe Hopkins and Jones would have to take part in this four-man tournament to prove whether they are overrated? You could argue that they've already answered that. I can't see them really being interested in a fight with Dawson.
I disagree, Dawson needs to unify with the other belt holders in the division, The winner should than be considered the man, How can someone call themself the LHW champ when they wont fight the top LHWs, instead they go down to 170, and fight smaller guys that aren't even LHWs, its a joke IMO.
Winner of Jones-Calzaghe-Hopkins-Dawson at #1 makes sense to me. Cleaning the Erdei-Garay-Diaconu house would just ice the cake.
