Arturo Gatti
Phillip Ndou
DeMarcus Corley
Genaro Hernandez
Angel Manfredy
Diego Corrales
Ricky Hatton
etc.
Ok maybe he doesn't KO all of them brutally like a young Mike Tyson used to do. But he still dominates his opponents and for anyone to say different hasn't seen a lot of his fights end of.
Ok ICB,
How do you rate Gatti? I think I give Gatti more credit than just about anyone on this board. It's not that PBF doesn't ko them all, it's that at times he's content to sit on his lead. There's a huge difference in aggression and will to fight. It's his biggest shortfall other than his public personality. We are talking about if Joe deserves to replace PBF as "P4P". I say yes if he has a dominating performance. I see a big difference in that category. I am not talking "all time". I am saying current Joe would edge it in my book with that type of performance.
Mayweather doesn't need to take unnecessary risks if he isn't forced to fight end of. I remember Roy Jones Jr saying the exact same thing as well. I don't know what you class as *dominating* but it can mean different things. Mayweather dominates in a different way, by not letting his opponent have any chance at offense, he takes away all there best weapons and outclasses his opponent in every category. I really don't see how people could have Calzaghe higher than Mayweather in P4P lists, could Calzaghe beat Mayweather P4P ?? no, has he got more achievements than Mayweather ?? not even close, has he beaten as many quality fighters as Mayweather ?? again not really even close IMO. So why should Calzaghe deserve to be higher P4P than Mayweather then ??
