To Me IF Floyd is Retired Joe Calzaghe is PFP#1

I love this thread.

It's like 2 hyenas battling on Floyd's carcasses.

I wouldn't even get too excited about it. Cuz I have the feeling that this Floyd's retirement thing is just his way of promoting his next fight. He's the drama king.

Exactly. Smart posting.

It all depends on what you look for when rating fighters, Pacquiao clearly has beaten the better fighters and has moved up and won titles at multiple weight classes. But Calzaghe has dominated a lot longer than Pacquiao but at a weaker weight class, i feel Pacquiao doesn't get enough credit for some of his wins against Barrera, Morales, and ditto for Calzaghe as well.

A lot of things come into play when rating a certain fighter above another, do you feel Calzaghe would beat Pacquiao P4P, do you like longevity better than better quality wins ?? is Calzaghe dominating 1 weight class better than Pacquiao skipping through the divisions winning titles at multiple weight classes ?? its all debatable and it depends on what the boxing fan looks for.

Put me on the Pacman express also. I like Calzaghe and respect what he has done, but with my limited boxing history knowledge, and just viewing it from a fighter point of view, pacman gives you a lot of excitement in the ring.

Chalk me up for the pacman.

1. Pacquiao
2. Calzaghe
3. JM Marquez
4. Cotto

For me, it's PAC coz with PBF out, you just have to move all the boxers in the P4P rankings one step higher... So PAC no. 1 and Joe in no. 2 and so on...

Question now, who will barge into no. 10 spot

I like to think of being the best p4p as purely that, rather than what a fighter's resume looks like, or who's is easier to pick apart or slant yada yada. For me I think Jm Marquez and Cotto, along with Pac, are all BETTER fighters than Calzaghe. My top five was

1.Mayweather
2/3.Marquez/Pacquiao, rank them either way so little to seperate them..
4.Cotto.
5.Calzaghe
6. Joan Guzman( I read someone who posted he could be their number 2 if it were based purely on talent, I'm tempted to agree the more I watch him).

P4p lists are always a pain in the ass for me, because I like to chalk it up as the best fighters, aside from who has the greater resume, wheras most seem to favour the opposite way of thinking. Now obviously you aren't going to find fighters who arent that good yet beat great fighters, however simply because a certain fighter doesnt have multiple greats in his W column, doesn't mean they dont have more ability than some who do.
