    Yea I'm gonna go with Ring and the majority and place Joe 3rd... Mayweather and Pac are stellar and Calzaghe fits perfectly at 3rd mixing with good company

    Mayweather is #1 PFP for now and the forseeable future. Pacquiao is #2 and deserves to be above Calzaghe, considering how much more impressive his resume is.

    Calzaghe is either #3 or #4. I think someone could reasonably leave Marquez at #3, considering that Pac-Marquez II was basically an even fight.

    Yes, but that is exactly the point. I have Marquez top 3, becuase IN MY EYES he beat Pacquiao. He could have easily gotten the decision, and had he done so, he would probably be most everyone's number 2. What does how the judges saw the fight have to do with where he really stands? Why should it change where I consider him to be among the best, because the judges saw the fight differently than I did?. It's all someone's opinion anyways, I just feel he's a slightly better fighter than Calzaghe. IMO, the worst part about questionable judging these days is not even that it takes place, but that so many people are still willing to accept the judges decision as gospel. I'm not saying Marquez Pac was a bad decision either, but it certainly wasn'ta fight that Pacquiao clearly won, so why is he clearly ahead of Marquez p4p? Why is it out of the question to have Marquez top 3 p4p simply because he lost on paper? Being a p4p fighter isn't like having a belt, because the judges can't take your ability away from you.

    Thanks man, Edison's an animal and I cant wait for him to finish Abraham... I especially like how Kessler got one upped seeing that no sweat off Miranda's back that they arent fighting... My man had better options

    Good post. Welcome and have some rep. Can't disagree with anything you've said there. You feel about Calzaghe as I do. He is the real deal but he's left it too late to ever become number 1 p4p.
    Also agree with the person who said the guys at number 1,2 and 3 will ALL need to have some seriously bad results in the near future for Calzaghe to surpass them.

    Why is that ?
    Pavlik doesnt fight in his division and Jones is an old man ?

    I'd rate Calzaghe #3 but certainly no lower than 4th

    Mayweather's best wins.

    Diego Corrales
    Jose Luis Castillo x2
    ODLH
    Ricky Hatton
    Zab Judah
    Genaro Hernandez
    Carlos Hernandez
    Angel Manfredy
    Jesus Chavez
    Arturo Gatti

    Titles at Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Jr Welterweight, Welterweight, Jr Middleweight,

    Joe Calzaghe's best wins.

    Mikkel Kessler
    Bernard Hopkins
    Jeff Lacy
    Chris Eubank
    Robin Reid
    Charles Brewer
    Sakio Bika
    Richie Woodhall
    Charles Brewer

    Titles at Super Middleweight, Light Heavyweight,

    Mayweather is for certain higher than Calzaghe for a few simple reasons, 1 Mayweather is a better fighter P4P, 2 he has more quality wins, 3 he has more achievements.
