Look at Cotto vs Margerito, Cotto is the better boxer, he's faster too - but once Margerito starts landing all that goes out the window. Saying Joe Calzaghe is elusive would be comical, he may have fast hands but that's only because he puts nothing behind them. The actual speed difference isn't big, Joe just throws shorter punches and allows him to throw them in volume, Pavlik hit's him even once and he's gonna feel it. On top of that, Calzaghe won't be hurting Pavlik any time soon.
I will agree Hopkins makes anyone look bad (since that's the common theory), but standing and trading like Calzaghe will try to do with Pavlik is suicide. Pavlik punches 3 times harder than Kessler and throws twice as much.
