What? Who are these guys? Pavlik v. Taylor reinvented the middleweight division and was a sweet fight. If anything, the fight of the year has already happened. If these are two of the pretenders to the now-worthless heavyweight belt (actually there's multiple belts currently, making most of them pointless) then this isn't even a good fight, let alone the best in years.

I know who they are. I wouldn't have offered a dissenting opinion otherwise....though I did forget what weight class the fight was in. But Calzaghe's getting kinda old, and I still fail to see how it's bigger than the recent middleweight title bout I mentioned.
uuhh...maybe its because its for the unified supermiddle weight title...the titles which calzaghe has defended for 10 years since beating chris eubank

couldn't agree more...while it would be good if he reached 25 successful defences (the most ever) i dont think he has another 4 fights in him...he's been constantly plauged by his dodgy hand over the last 6 fights...and while he seems to fight well against the better fighters...he struggles against lesser fighters
i'm not entirely sure about him stepping up to light heavy for a fight against hopkins either...i think that might be a bad idea

I get confused (and disenchanted) because of all the different belts floating around. Pavlik beat Taylor for the middleweight title, but this is a different one. Next he'll fight the middleweight belt-holder from Ireland or some sh*t. Too many divisions and pseudo-champions.

well i can see your point about the number of boxing organisations and belts...but calzaghe is WBO, WBA AND WBC undisputed champion...the 1st and only undisputed champion of the super-middleweight division...he's also been IBF super-middleweight champ aswell
