    I think he picked Hopkins because he still thinks of Hopkins as the fighter he beat three years ago, not the one we saw against Calzaghe. Remember, Taylor has said he doesn't watch a lot of fights.

    Plus I think he respects Hopkins' skill more than Pavlik's. Hell, I think most of us do. But with an old fighter it doesn't necessarily come down to skill and skill alone.

        Easy probably ugly win for Pavlik...

        the Calzaghe fight showed me that Hopkins ain't got it no more. He supposed to be a proud man and is faking a low blow??? From Joe ''I can't punch a lick" Calzaghe??? Pavlik stays at the end of his punches so he won't caught with a counter... let's see how long he can run... sooner or later Pavlik will get him... Hopkins will probably quit on his stool or start a new world record for faking low blows to hear the final bell and start arguing that he should have won.

        Still unbelievable to me how ppl think Hopkins beat Calzaghe... you guys must have also seen that DLH beat Mayweather... and that Cotto won every round until he got knocked out by Margarito... god damn... don't let hate rule you... only because Calzaghe is overrated he still beat Hopkins pretty easily... it wasn't his best performance and it was ugly... but he was never in jeopardy to loose this fight, sorry folks

            JT remembers how easy it was for him to shoot the counter right over the top of Pavlik's jab; that was the most substantial shot he landed in either fight and he did it multiple times, always seeming to surprise Pavlik. It may not have worked for him in terms of a victory but it could work for Hopkins, who is a better, more accurate counter puncher with the power of a LHW.

            Mosley obviously picked up on this as well.

              Calzaghe has to be the biggest ****** in boxing. He has to talk **** about Kelly just to downplay the talk of them meeting if Kelly wins? Who exactly was Joe Calzaghe before fighting Hopkins? Oh yeah, the guy that beat Jeff Lacy lol. **** off Joe.

                  Joe will always get **** from me. For him to disrespect a young Pavlik who is 27 and already fighting great fighters is down right bull ****. How long did it take for Calzaghe to fight a guy as good as Hopkins is right now. A hell of a lot longer than it took Pavlik to. If people knock Mayweather, they need to know Joe just as bad. They both ducked fighters, atleast Mayweather fought all the top guys at 130 except Kotsyu. They both are going to retire without fighting the young undefeated lion of their division. Joe deserves a lot of bashing.

                    His knocking Pav cuz he knows he aint gonna fight him..
                    So his trying to dog his wins or whatever but if Pav goes out there and knocks bernard out or gives him a beating etc Joe is forever gonna be called a coward unless he fights pav...

                    Plus i dont see him getting past jones
                    but thats my view

                      Calzaghe's like an 11 year old with a crush. Talking **** is just his way of flirting.
