Calzaghe: "Pavlik Was Exposed, Overrated, Overhyped"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Cardiff, Wales - As he continues to prepare for his November 8 "Battle of the Superpowers" against Roy Jones, Jr at Madison Square Garden in New York City and live on HBO Pay-Per-View, undefeated light heavyweight champion Joe Calzaghe took a quick break from training to share his thoughts on Saturday night's tremendous victory for Bernard Hopkins over Kelly Pavlik. Here is what he had to say [details]

[Flawless 2]

This guy is a hater

[SHB]

He's right though.

Anyway, Pavlik brought this on himself with his ridiculous comments lately. And what's happened to Loew - he certainly had a lot of opinions in recent weeks. Why so quiet?

[Silencers]

Can't say this was unexpected.

I'm definitely rooting for Jones.

[Chunk..]

Calzaghe's good at kicking you when you're down. He's got a point though.

[Sir Tom Jones]

I expected Calzaghe to say this, Pavlik had it coming for running his mouth. Concentrate on the fights you have signed rather than trying to call out people that you know had no interest in fighting you.

[Nicky_Hatton]

Ha I was waiting for the enivitable Calzaghe backlash.

[C.J.Mak]

Joe Calzghe Is right.How would you feel if you had been champ for 11 years with a 45-O Record and people start saying you are overated and have to prove yourself AGAIN by fighting a guy who's only been a name in boxing and a champ for over a year.Kelly Pavlik is a good fighter and a nice guy but he recieved far too much hype when you take this into consideration.

[Madmar]

You write that in a way that criticizes calzaghe as if hes a hater.

He's absolutely right though...

You know what they say. The truth hurts.

[Jose Rizal]

Prime Roy would've exposed Joe as well.
