He didn't look good against Hopkins but who does? When Calzaghe beats Pavlik I'm sure that we'll hear that Pavlik is actually a one-dimensional limited fighter.
I think Kelly Pavlik is much more dangerous than Jeff Lacy was. I had seen a few of Jeff Lacy's fights before the Joe Calzaghe fight, and he looked like an average fighter against Omar Sheika, Syd Vanderpool, and he had never faced an elite fighter like Kelly Pavlik has. If Joe Calzaghe beat Kelly Pavlik i would give him all the credit in the world.
I agree that Pavlik is better than Lacy and he's a better boxer than he's given credit for but I still think Joe will beat him. Then we'll hear how he wasn't really that good after all and Calzaghe still hasn't fought anybody really good etc. etc.
