Calzaghe P4P list

[brucelee]

How does Joe get to fight Hopkins, when he has allegedly (Hopkins that is) in the past been pricing himself out of that fight, Joe should be top 5 now on what hes done and maintained already,

Had he been American and not Welsh, he would be top 3 already, controversial may be but in reality its probably true...no offence meant to anyone out there,

Not really true. Manny pacquaio is filipino but he's number 2. If the guy really deserved to be in a higher spot, he gets it....of course, he has to prove it.

If Calzaghe was born in America he would be currently in Rings top 3 p4p . No doubt about it

You mean like Manny Pacquio #2 and Juan Manuel Marquez #3??



Another well thought post by Julius Rain

Those two fighters arent british so I dont get your point . Why esle isnt Calazghe rated then ? It cant be on ring achievements cuz he is the longests reigning champion in the sport . Beaten everyone they put infront of him , undefeated too. Pac and Marquez lost recently but they are 2 and 3 ? Its BS ! But then again its just an opinion

I'm with frozen on this one. it doesn't matter if your undefeated or not and has been holding a abc title for years. its more than just that, jmm and pac they have fought all over the world they paid their dues, they don't just fight in their backyard hell they hardly ever do. They fight in the biggest stages possible. Joe just fights inside his little town, look how many guys he could be fighting but hasn't.he just now realize he needs to get out of whales to show if he really is great. But wait where is he fighting kessler at nevermind I guess he feels they have to come to him, good for kessler for wanting this fight. i really think kessler is going to win.

If joe was an american he prolly would be top 3 p4p right now because he wouldn't have been inside small whales, he would be in the best fights and biggest stages of the world. That is if he still has his title and undefeated record. I highly doubt he could make it to 30 fights and be undefeated if he was in america someone would of whoop him good a long time ago

Whales are animals fool.

Anyhow, I disagree with you in your comparisons with JMM and Pac, quite simply because they are from countries where they can't make as much money as they can in America. If you think they both fight in the states because they want the recognition and kudos you're seriously deluded, they're there for the money, period.

The difference with Calzaghe is he can get a bigger audience here than by going to the USA to fight, and get more fans through the turnstiles. And once again you raise the issue of his opposition, but ultimately he's beaten the best in the SMW division, and is fighting the best it has to offer next time out.

I will give U a cool click for the whales are animals bit

Yes he is number 2 but he also fights mostly in the US which is the point that is being made. Fight in the US and you get more consideration for p4p rating.

you have a point.If that's the case, then your boxer should try to do his fights in the US. Anyway, that's how the boxing world operates right now.
