    :good Yeah, pinch that one with a grain of salt. 1. the poll is pretty obvious, and 2. I like to help Decebal and Quebec Warrior get the word out on Bute, as he deserves exposure.

    Pavlik is overrated, I'm sick of him being mentioned in the same sentence with true elite fighters like Kessler, Calzaghe and Dawson.

    But to answer the poll, the worst for him is Dawson, whom at 175 has tremendous speed and accuracy and the first couple of landed flush shots will do Pavlik in, who simply cannot take those shots.

    Pavlik won't even get the chance to abuse Dawson's dodgy chin because he can't take Dawson's offence.

    Kessler is the next worst, due to the accurate hard shots.

    Calzaghe is the third, but this would last a little longer and be more painful overall for Pavlik, a class A schooling at the hands of the original Supernatural is fine by me, I'd love to see the abusive work done and Pavlik a bloody mess just for his fanboys and those goddamned Taylor apologists all over the globe.

    Yes, I know Amsterdam. Pavlik gets KO'd by I. Calderon in less than 3.

    A prime Calzaghe would starch Pavlik in 1.

    Know who else would KTFO Pavlik? Byron Mitchell would have, a B level SMW that Calzaghe annihilated. Deal with it, your favourite fighter is an overrated, sloppy example of the mess that is MW and what we had with that joke Jermain Taylor.

    Forgive me, this fight has me pumped and I am the biggest Calzaghe nuthugger this side of CHJ until it's over!:nod

    I have noticed how riled up you are. Consider yourself excused:good

    Just don't confuse me with the trolls/haters who are picking Hopkins. My pick has more to do with my heart (the belief that Hopkins can somehow turn back the clock and employ the perfect gameplan to surprise most people one final time). I'm fully aware that today could very well be the final time Hopkins steps into the ring as a professional fighter. And if it turns out to be, it's been a pleasure watching him, starting all the way in 1992 when I first saw him fight Dennis Milton on ESPN.

    At the end of the day, all problems aside, this is Hopkins versus Calzaghe!:happy

    An underrated career overlooked European master versus an American legendary fighter who fought no Euro elite's. Often times you can get by without fighting world elite's and fighting names, but here's two master's, regardless of status as of now, about to go at it.


    Not at all, I'm talking more along the lines of Tyson86, TooPretty, Klion, BigReg & then the array of 'Fitzgeralds, Streets of Gold' etc.

    Yeah but we're about to see a vastly underrated phenom take one big step closer to becoming the Undisputed best post-Jones fighter, knocking Joy Boy out of the spot.

    Calzaghe is a representation of what is good for boxing, Joy Boy is a representation fo what is bad.

    I just hope these numbskulls really appreciate taking a top elite in Kessler and then Hopkins back to back, while Joy Boy takes the easiest route possible.

    At the very least, Hopkins has gotten into the best shape he possibly can, better than he was against Wright.

    I gotta go with B.A. Baracas. The rest of those guys are either too old or too skinny. If Pavlik thinks he can stand and bang with the mohawk warrior, I PITY THE FOOL!

    He'll take the number one spot with a clear win over Hopkins, for me. I know you're looking for a more complete domination.

    :yep

    Yeah because I want it to be undisputed that he's #1, a simple 8-4 just won't do it, it'll only secure him a #2 or #3 universally and that's just not acceptable at this level of competition and the performances we're about to get.

    My prediction coming true(which it will most likely), gives two of my expresses massive ammo, one being the long running Joe Calzaghe express and the other being the anti-Joy Boy train.

    To tell you the truth Brooklyn, I just want WHOEVER to legitimately knock that ****ing Joy Boy off that top spot universally, Calzaghe or other, I mean that. Even if Hopkins somehow won, I get to remove Joy Boy with a superior specimen and man and that gives me much satisfaction, you can't imagine.
