I'm a Calzaghe fan. I like him a lot, nice style, work ethic and a diligent trainer. Have watched most of his fights and followed him for a while now. But I couldn't really justify him being placed as p4p No.1.
Currently I have him located in the upper regions of the top 5. However at the top of the scale we have placed; Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
There are issues which need to be addressed. Pacquiao's last performance was less than stellar, many feeling he barely squeaked over the line to victory. However as the fight was with a fellow pound for pound ranked fighter, he is forgiven and should remain ranked behind Mayweather alone.
Floyd's ranking is more of a hazed issue. Floyd's inactivity is the only detail which casts a shadow of doubt onto his supremacy.
Can we justify his spot atop the rankings although he is blatantly refusing to fight? Can a fight later in the year (even a victory over DLH) adequatly endorse his skill to allow him the number 1 spot?
Well thats for you guys to decide, but even if he is removed (he's no.1 or not included he won't slip) Calz is still behind Pac, because of competition.
