Calzaghe is a MILLION times better than Pavlik.
Not only is Calzaghe better than Pavlik... but also, styles make fights.

Hopkins is a great defensive fighter. Great defensive fighters can beat guys who have one signature punch (like Pavlik's right cross) because a great defender can look for that one punch and completely take it away. Hopkins couldn't nullify Calzaghe's offense, because Calzaghe doesn't have one signature punch. He throws in unorthodox flurries, he's not left or right hand dominant.
