The term "expose" is over rated

    No you're using it in the wrong context. You're upset at someone saying Pavlik got exposed but you have no problem calling an undefeated, 5 divison champ, future HOFer a *****? Most people can't compete in 2 divisions let alone 5.

    hell yeah i too agree, especially with the pavlik case!
    He was not exposed as a wack fighter, he was beaten by a frigging legend. End of.

    This is true, and one such person is named Kelly Pavlik.

    Few people dislike PBF more than I, but you still have to give him respect for his ability to get wins at a number of different weights.

    For good or for bad, we all have to wait and see... I can't wait to see Cotto again dealing with his first fight after his first loss. I can't wait for KP to do it as well. A fight against PW would be great and I think that KP can take it as PW doesn't have the same skills in my eyes as B-Hop.

    Reg,

    I think that most fans respect Floyd in some way or another do to his accomplishments in the 5 divisions he showed up to fight, however, you have to agree that he left some questions open in the WW division... At least for me, that's my frustration with him. I wish that he would be more like B-Hop, Tito, etc... just to name a few fighters that are not affraid to take chances, and are willing to defy some odds just to get their name in history.

    No it's not always "exposed". Losing doesn't always mean exposed. But yeah Pavlik got exposed here, in a way.

    If both Marquez and Pacquiao had been undefeated when they fought each other (when JMM lost), then is JMM exposed because he lost?... no (just an example i know some people thought JMM won)

    Also had the judges given the nod to winky against taylor, would taylor then be exposed? No way.

    No... so yeah, there are cases where it doesn't apply. It's the way you lose.

    It does apply to this one. He didn't present a challenge for Bernard at all.

    People said Williams was exposed in his loss to Quintana and we all know how their rematch went.

    Mayweather has been 'exposed' numerous times but has made a concentrated effort avoid fighting those who can take advantage of his flaws, which are few.
