Keep talking Enzo...

Be careful what you wish for... You just might get it... and IT just may be a right hand a tad harder then the one that knocked your son on his ass against Hopkins.

IIRC, the Taylor rematch was at 166, it was the 1st time Pavlik went 12 rounds and he beat JT by outworking him the entire time, particularly in the last 2-3 rounds, so I don't think 2 more pound will affect his output that much. I might get ripped for this, but in some ways, it reminded me of the JC-Hopkins fight in that one fighter was landing the more eye-catching blows while the other one relied on consistent work to win the fight.
Yes i did actually compare Taylor vs Pavlik 2 to Calzaghe vs Hopkins, but the difference is Calzaghe hardly landed a damaging blow on Hopkins IMO. Most of his punches were arm punching flurries/slaps. Where as Pavlik was landing solid left jabs/right hands.
