what makes everyone think that pavlik would KO calzaghe, in my eyes Pavlik is far from an elite fighter... whereas JC is proven..

It looks like JC is gona beat another sitting duck across the pond
Coulda woulda shoulda didn't you could also say Reid could of beat Calzaghe, or Hopkins could of beat Calzaghe. As i remember the fight i had it dead even going into 11th round but Pavlik badly hurt Taylor with a body shot that changed the fight around Pavlik won the last 2 rounds based on that damaging body shot and earned himself the victory.

Pavlik showed good boxing skills and underrated defense to hang with Taylor in that rematch. I can't see how you can't call Pavlik an elite fighter when he clearly is. The only real flaw i see in Pavlik is that he sometimes doesn't mix it up and throws jab jab right hand over and over again. But like i said all Reid done was lead with right hands and so did Hopkins yet they still gave Calzaghe tough fights.
