Joe Calzaghe now no. 3 in Ring Mag's latest P4P rankings

[XaduBoxer]

Yeah. Floyd at top spot, that is. That's why no credible fan regards the Ring highly anymore. It has become so partisan and subjective. Floyd at number 1? Fukking BS.

Then who do you consider as no. 1 P4P ?

.

Either the British Bomber or the Man from Manila.

PAC has a claim to that no. 1 spot but Joe... no way...

But anyone can make his own P4P list...

.

[C-Lo]

Floyd is easily the most gifted fighter today. I do consider him #1 P4P but he should be dropped soon because of his inactivity and his unwillingness to fight the better fighters in his division. I could just imagine how crazy this forum would get if he was ever knocked out of the top spot.

[C-Lo]

Other than what I just said, to get back on topic, I think Joe should be #4 right behind Juan Manuel Marquez. That's just my opinion...

[Beanflicker]

So who deserves to be ahead of Calzaghe besides Floyd and Pac? JMM? He just lost to Pac. Hopkins? Obviously not, Calzaghe just beat him. Vazquez? He got stopped just three fights ago.

Calzaghe is where he should be at #3 IMO.

JMM just lost to Pac (controversial I know, but thats the official ruling). Calzaghe just beat Bhop. How can JMM be ahead of Calzaghe? P4P rankings are very compeditive, if you lose a fight you drop down.

[kelseym]

He should be #2.

1. PBF
2. Joe
3. Paq
4. JM Marquez
5. BHOP

[Violent Demise]

I got Joe at number 5.

[:::PSL:::]

Pac scored 5 wins against 3 future HOFers, 10 KDs and 3 KOs combined.

Calzaghe got floored by a 43 year old future HOFer, and won by SD. I have no problem with him being in #3. But to those people who says he should take Pac's place are just being rediculous.

Btw, Miguel Cotto should be at #4, and Israel Vazquez at 5.

[amat]

I would put him at 4 but to be honest, I've really soured on these P4P deals, do not like them much at all anymore. It seems like splitting hairs and pointless to compare fighters from different weight divisions and the lack of criteria really turned me off these.

[BIG H]

These lists are usually sh1te, but for those who say Joe doesn't deserve his place, can you tell us what more he can do and who else he has to beat.

Everybody said he must fight Lacy - he fought and beat him
Everybody said he must fight Kessler - he fought and beat him
Everybody said he must fight B-Hop - he fought and beat him

Regardless of what you think of his earlier career, he has fought the top 3 guys (whatever you think of Lacy with hindsight) that he could possibly have fought, if that doesn't deserve his status in the p4p list what does?

Even VD has him at number 5 FFS

[Macho]

In my opinion , i think that Joe need to do more for be classified in the Top 10 P4P , probably we will place him , but cmon not in the Top , he just came yesterday to fight with the Best of the World in US , in where have the most of Best Boxers of the World in his Div.......

THAT IS MY OPINION AND I RESPECT YOURS.......

[richard (mossley)]

The 3rd Brit to go in will be David Haye. He has obliterated one division, and now he is about to embark to his second.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

honesly i wouldn't rank any higher then 5th at best, he hasn't proved anything with the hopkins fight and wouldn't prove anything fighting a old roy jones, so i wouldn't place him nowhere near the top, frankly if i had to stick him in it would be 10th

[Spicoli]

Personally P4P lists baffle me...Are we judging The proven all around superior Boxer or The one who beats fellow P4P fighters?

I can see him at 4th behind Mayweather/Pac/J.Marquez and Calzaghe.Yeh,I understand Marquez just lost a one point fight but Imo He is much more soundly and technically skilled than Calzaghe as an all around boxer.Regular weigt divisions are win or loss effected but does that negate your all around Skill as a P4P boxer??

But then that brings you back to the question, can Marquez beat Nard in a p4p match-up? Or can Floyd? The answer is NOT SURE. But Joe did.
