How you going to complain about Marquez, yet got no problem with Calzaghe being listed extremely too high?
Well Joe has never lost a fight, he's been reigning champion for longer than anybody else boxing in any division and last year became the only super middleweight in history to be given a Ring belt.

He's earned his spot. JMM has lost, and recently as well. His biggest ever fight he got a draw and he's got no big wins over marquee fighters.

Don't get me wrong, he's a great fighter and could well beat Barrera next month. If he does, he deserves to be the p4p no question but until then he's just not done enough.
Best names on Joe's resume are old shot fighters and one young, highly overrated fighter. And it's easy to stay undefeated with the garbage fighters Calzaghe calls opponents. He shouldn't be rewarded for it.
