Book it baby!When Calzaghe demolishes Kessler and Hopkins/Winky & Hatton beats Cotto and PBF its a formality!
calzaghe i can see being top 3 when he defeats kessler this year and propelled to no. 1 when he beats the winner of hopkins-wright. i think hatton-cotto is 60/40 in favor of hatton if it happens at 147.
That is rubbish, as the American boxing media decide who is P4P number one. That is also why Calzaghe is outside the top 3 right now.
That is delusional. The Yanks will not ever allow Calzaghe to be given that much credit. They'll move him to 3-5 at best, "Kessler had beaten no greats" "Hopkins/Wright were shot" (even though they still listed them as a top P4P fighter)
Are you insane? I like both fighters....but you have to be a blind moron to really believe this. And did you call Calzaghe "hungry'? Wait let me check.... Yeah you did???? You really are crazy...:yep
Ummmm, if we are talking top20. Tito was top 5 Oscar was top 10-15 Tarver was top 20 Jones (a loss, but still...at least he FOUGHT someone worth a note) was top 5...not sure he was #1 yet at that point Winky is top 5 Taylor was top 10-15 (and those fights were close enough where most people feel he won, so....plus again, at least he attempts to fight good fighters.) China_Hand_Joe...your a great poster when your blind man love for Calzaghe doesnt cloud your judgement (and even when it does your still at least HILARIOUS!!!! GREAT NEW AVATAR!!! :good ), but you really dont believe what you just said about Hop...
Tito and Oscar were not P4P fighters at middleweight in my honest opinion and in hindsight, Tarver is, well Tarver is Tarver. If Joe beats Kessler, then for me that beats any single win on Hopkins resume.
It doesnt matter what weightclass they are in for their p4p ranking... Just because Floyd moves up in weight to take on someone, it doesnt drop him out of the top spot??? And if you remember, Tito had just DESTROYED Joppy...who WAS one of the better (definately top ten) MWs out there. This Tito wasnt a MW buisiness is ridiculous. Plus beating Tarver wasnt just impressive because he was a top 20 p4p fighter (Tarver is Tarver was the best way to put it), you also have to look at Hop jumping 2 weight classes to take on the widely veiwed champion at that weight. And to do it at his advanced age was just AMAZING! And Joe beating Kessler (who is on NO ONES top ten p4p list, tho I personally think he is a fantastic fighter...) isnt a bigger win than Hop over Tito...or Hop over Winky (if it plays out that way)....OR ARGUABLY HOP OVER TARVER (more for the reasons I mentioned above, as opposed to just beating Tarver)...sorry, if Joe pulls it out, it will be a great win, but cmon... And ya know I love Calzaghe....but again, cmon. (BUT MY GOD THAT AVATAR HAS ME IN TEARS BRO....:good )
