Pavlik was overhyped by his fans.
I'm glad Hopkins took him to school. That took his fans back to reality.
I do hope the best for Pavlik in the furture though, He is a good guy and has a exciting style.

Sounds to me like hitting a guy when he's down. And all because Joe needed vindication for not chosing to fight Pavlik. He could have been gracious and offered Pavlik words of wisdom. He had an opportunity to be classy, but instead he was arrogant.
There is good reason prior to Pavlik v. Hopkins people blasted Calzaghe for choosing RJJ over Pavlik: he chose an old fighter over a young one. In his own book, he says RJJ is old and past his prime.
All those who dislike Calzaghe will eventually like him as a fighter in his up and coming fight with Jones!He always fights at his best with the best!!!
Correct but he fought in a way that was a joy to watch for once, not much spoiling at all, he did some great work. I always thought Bernard would win but never in such a great fashion.
I did feel bad for Kelly though and I still do when people say he is/was overrated. He has more balls than all these bashers put together.
I was rooting for Pavlik in this one. Round 1 - 3 I was basically sitting relaxed saying "don't worry, Hopkins will fade soon enough, it's still early." Rounds 4 - 6 I was thinking "anytime now Kelly, let it go." Then from that moment on I was witnessing history in the making. I stopped talking and forgot about rooting for Pavlik and just sat there in awe on how great Hopkins really is.
Pugilistic, nice sig! That portion of the fight I was sitting with my hands over my head...
