    Who has Calderon beaten apart from Mayol recently? I think with Calderon people assume he's underrated and therefore overrate him (does that make sense? :D). I sense a similar thing happening with Hasegawa.

    Really Calderon hasn't fought most of the top contenders in super fly, Bradley has taken out a small amount of his but light welter is a deep division. Campbell imo is 2nd to his Holt win. Also i was very very impressed how he was putting a beat down on campbell so easily couldn't see the fight ending any other way.

    Haye is a good choice for 10th seeing as most other people at 10 haven't got the record or the achievements haye does.

    These days belts are meaningless, even the supposed 'superior' ones. It's who you beat that counts.

    Well, considering he's tried to get a fight with Viloria and there's no one else, and Mayol went on to beat the only other viable opponent (currently at light-fly) in Sosa..............you see why I still rate him.

    To the guy who rates Valero top ten, get ****ed:lol:

    Glen Johnson twice in 12 months is not P4P material.

    He fought Mayweather above 140..?

    He's ****, at 140 and above..!

    Any top 140 fighter, will blow him away..

    Bradly, Khan...all of them. Mayweather treated thier fight like a sunday morning sparring session.........

    Whats he done of late, to be ranked so high...?

    What have you done for me lately JMM..?

    Calderon barely makes my list, one loss and it will probably take him off my list, but unlikely for Bradley's place. Beating 3 world champs is good, however not p4p worthy, I think we will have to agree to disagree here, because in your way Froch could have an argument (right?!).

    Valero; nobody in his whole career is not P4P material

    I agree, and I also would use this rule for opponents, my above comment again, and Tarver. Tarver is a poor World Champ in my eyes. His best round was # 2 in the last Rocky.

    As for Froch and Haye, they should be in with a shout also.

    Froch just got a robbery in his favour and hasn't looked overly impressive despite winning, so that goes against him. Basically the simplest way to put it is Bradley has looked p4p in the way he's winning fights and showing a full range of skills, Froch just looks like a tough man thats going to lose shortly.

    Weight should not always come into issue when determining p4p, just because he can't fight at 140 due to weight, does not mean his boxing skills are inferior. What hes done of late is hes beaten Casamayor, one of the most underated champions of the decade and Diaz in a pretty amazing way!

    To be fair I think Cazares was No.1 in the division when Calderon moved up to beat him. Though its true that he hasn't done much since, and his victories have been less than convincing.
