    I agree - it is the p4p - taking weight out of the equation as it is the one factor that seperates fight classes. Age, height etc should not be considered with p4p.

    It should be judged on who you have beaten and the style in which you did it.

    Calzaghe needs more impressive wins before he can even think about cracking the top 3 P4P.

    And no, I don't count the mighty Jeff Lacy, Manfredo Jr., and Bika as impressive wins. His top two wins are ten years apart - Eubanks (1997) and Kessler (2007).

    If the P4P number 4 fights at a higher weight than the P4P number 5 and the two meet at the higher weight, shouldn't the number 4 guy be the betting favourite?

    Hopkins won't be the favourite if he fights Calzaghe....Hopkins is ranked too high and Calzaghe is at least 1 place too low.

    Fair enough, but 2 losses to Jermain Taylor?

    Marquez above him? Who could barely edge an old Barrera? Beating Kessler very sclearly puts you higher. Calzaghe is number 3 or higher. That cannot be disupted.
