There are a ton of great boxers out there right now, most of you don't know about them because they only fight on PPV. Regarding Pavlik's fight, there have ALWAYS been tune-ups and suspect mandatory defenses for champions... you can't fight a monster every time out and this fight was a setup for the Calzaghe fight, as Lockett is trained by Joe's father.
The quality of fighters has only increased over the last few decades, it's boxing's exposure to the general public that has declined.
