Hopkins didn't struggle at all and don't forget the total beatdown Old man Popkins put on Tarver, when he moved up 2 divisions and took on the best LHW at the time.
Floyd has better skills than Pac. It's really that simple, that's what P4P is all about. Pac is easily top 10, but not #1. Pac does produce fights with more action though, but that's not P4P criteria.
let's be honest..Floyd remains the pfp #1 because he beat an overrated natural 140 guy. Calzaghe beats an old man who's been wearing out his welcome in B-hop. Pac beats an old man in JMM who everyone knows is his retirement party. Nothing changes pound for pound.
I agree that Floyd should be #1 at this point but skill is not the sole criteria for a top P4P fighter.
this is a good and valid point. while pacquiao and calzaghe are fighting riskier opponents, mayweather seems to be content on this and not taking a riskier cotto. either of the two should be considered. but american general opinion will not change, they would not cosider a pinoy p4p champ nor a brit.
Why do you guys pay too much attention to the P4P list? :think Just a question? Is it more important to be the numero 1 in the so called p4p list even though you are not the numero 1 or 2 or 3 in your own division?
