However, there are exceptions like Lucas Matthysse who are on the road fighting thousands of miles from home and beating everyone they would put in front of him.

At the same time, I'm not going to say Calzaghe would beat Pavlik because fights are won in the ring not on paper and I hate giving 'fantasy' wins to those who don't take the challenge - but that goes for Pavlik too, not just Calzaghe.
