I'm going the same way.

The whole Pavlik power thing is a bit much. Yes he hits hard but he's no julian Jackson. He gets the majority of his KO's through pressure, remarkably similar to Joe earlier on in his career. IMO Eubank has at least the same single punch power than Pavlik (probably more), his KO ratio is lower since he simply isn't a 100 punches a round pressure fighter.
Same goes for Mitchell, Brewer, Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins.

The only reason a Calzaghe-Pavlik fight may be competitive nowadays is joe's advancing years, and he HAS been slowing down recently. Simple reason is that come forward fighters are his bread and butter.
