    Yes, they would. I would call it 'knowing what kind of quantities a dopathon requires for danes'.

    It is a good job achievements have nothing to do with P4P lists.


    Although Calzaghe is easily amongst the 10 greatest fighters in the world today. 10 years mate.

    easy, because of this


    during Calzaghe's 10 year reign as "Champion" he only fought 2 mandatories.

    Even his madatories ducked him mate.

    Why would anyone of them want a guarenteed loss?

    Why fight mandatories, when you can fight celebrities.

    he should be a top p4p, if roy jones could ge king of p4p and not fight talented guys why should we exclude joe c from the list, he is deserving.

    I have him firmly in the top ten, probably top 5 pound for pound. He's one of the best fighters in the world. That is unquestionable.

    However, there is a case for placing the less talanted Hatton above him, for example, because of what he has shown against top class fighters.

    Yes he did. We both know fighting mandatory fights exclusivly is playing it safe.

    Top 150. I would put him at 149.

    What exactly did he achieve besides beating Lacy.

    He grew balls, when he met Lacy,and now for meeting Kessler. Speaking of lack of balls - when will yours drop, so we can see something worthwhile from you?

    He also fought nearly every champion and 12 Top 10 fighters in the LHW division. Not fighting ONE guy doesn't equate to the other end of the spectrum of fighting no one.

    Some people always look at the glass as half-full, when they want to.

    At the time leon won his world title he wasnt considered a journeyman at all.Olympic gold medallist and huge prospect who at the time of his win against ali seemed to be fullfilling his potential.Later on he was more a shadow than a journeymen..

    Your other examples are on the money though.Who would of thought clinton woods would go on to win a few titles??After the beatdown he got by jones i truely believed he would be nothing but a onetime contender.How wrong i was.
