I am anxiously awaiting this fight. I really think it could go either way. If Pavlik drops or dominates Hopkins, he deserves the hype. If he loses, I don't think his stock goes down much. Remember Calzaghe beat Hopkins by split decision and Calzaghe is highly favored over Pavlik and already a sure-bet first ballot hall-of-famer (Hopkins is too).
Calzagnuts aint favored over no Pavlik ive seen on yahoo and atleast 2 other boxing websites put polls on who would win and all choose the GHOST. or maybe your just a Calzaghe fan
Thats because of, hmm how shall i put it? Pavliks barmy army.
Most writers will favour Calzaghe due to Pavliks style.
Poll on Setanta had 91% Calzaghe winning. Polls are what Fox news use to spin, in the real world we knows.
Apart from Pavlik die hards who wins that fight. Hopkins (hopefully) brings alot of the loons back down to earth.
