Who has Hopkins NOT caught with his right hand? It's his best punch. Now Joe suddenly has a weakness for right hands? Your talking rubbish
Joe hasnt got so much a weakness to right hands, just his defence and head movement aint the greatest, he relies on his fitness and awkwardness, his opponents just cant keep up.

He was caught a few times fluch by Kessler and Reid was the only person to take him to a split decision purely from his overhand rights.

Pavlik is much like Kessler but more aggresive, he doesnt have Kesslers defence or chin though, it would be an exciting fight but Knowing full well that Pavlik is a puncher and has a good right, im sure hed be prepared for it.

I agree that Calzaghe just doesnt want anymore hard nights, he is 36 and is the most consistent fighter in a long time, 11 years as a champ, undefeated is a very long time, especially in a sport like boxing.

Joe wants cash and fame now, you cant blame him but if Pavlik really wants to shoot up the p4p rankings and be something special, offer Joe big money and let him fight in Wales where their would be a bigger gate by far, make him an offer he cant refuse.
Your right. His defense and Pav's chin are better. Pavlik would beat Andrade, Kessler , Bute and Calzaghe in my opionion. None of these guys have his conditioning, power , work rate ,and class.
