Pavlik's trainer Jack Loew slams the Calzaghe camp.

[killersheep]

Joe has lost all his power he once had (not that it was alot to start with) He relies on the simple fact that judges reward people who throw more punches, even if they don't connect.In the Mikel Kessler fight Kessler exposed alot of areas and landed some decent punches, only he didn't have the power to make him pay for it. Pav would. Hell, I think if Hopkins stopped tieing joe up every goddamn second and boxed with him he would of KO'd him by the 8th.

That's a hell of a big leap to take from one good shot that caught Calzaghe off balance and with his guard down. Fact is, Hopkins couldn't have gone all out for eight whole rounds, that's precisely why he was looking to tie him up. Unfortunately, Ol' Father Time catches up with us all, and has done so with Hopkins a few years ago now.

Landing stats have showed a whole lot more landing from Calzaghe in all his recent fights, so I think you're mistaking connecting with causing damage. I still think Calzaghe's chin would take him through the distance, if not to victory against Pavlik.

Maybe.. but the point I make is Joe makes a hell of a lot of mistakes, and Hopkins made him pay for one, but unfortunately didn't bother fighting for the other 11 rounds. Joe does connect alot yeah, but how many of them do damage? I think there was 1 good punch that honestly hurt hopkins.

I guess a good gauge is how many times did Calzaghe have to hit Lacy to knock him down? 1000+?
