    I basically think that if you compare what each fighter is like compaired to the fighters in the weigh divisions around them. There attributes compared to the fighters that is then you can get an idea of how a p4p match up may go.

    I agree you could decide who was better p4p, but not that you could decide how exactly they would fare against one another...

    Calzaghe by decision, just too talented and skilled for Pac

    Whatever version of Morales, Barrera and Marquez that Pac has fought are far better than any of Joes opponents.:deal

    Yes, I am Pac Hugger and Yes, I'm picking Pac over Cal if its pfp...ladies,gentlemen and crossdressers, Pac destroys anybody pound for pound except for Floyd Mayweather. He knocked down a skilled boxer in Marquez 3 times...choked the rest of the way minus a few rounds in between. He learned from his mistakes and has been relentless ever since. calzaghe ain't even half as skilled JMM and there's no way in hell he boxes and wins against a guy with a KO ratio and a volumous puncher like Pac. And we all know Jeff Lacy ain't no Pac at middleweight.

    crowd for crowd...brits over my pinoys. Guns have been outlawed in both countries since forever so it will be a rumble (ala Gangs of New York). So it will be a battle of british shanks, tire irons vs pinoy made machetes and arnece stick fighting. We all know that the british guys have an upperhand with more experience with hooligans at soccer matches. Unless you have the pinoys from the barcadas aka Barrios or ghettos(and they don't travel well in general) the pinoy fanbase doesn't have much of a chance. We do have faster import cars to get away from the police with though after a rumble. Brits have bentleys. And who the hell would use a bentley to speed away from the cops? Exactly....

    Winner..british fanbase:think

    Morales the first time beat Pac; did he not? You don't get credit for getting beat. A least not in my book. I do not think that was prime Morales. MAB the first time round is a good win. JMM outboxed Pac for the majority of the fight. I also happen to think that Kessler is the 2nd or 3rd best fighter from 160-168.

    But as i said before if u read the post: I was talking about the skill set they posess. The only thing that Manny has on joe P4P skill's wise is power. Nothing else!

    f*ck prime this, f*ck prime that....I'm sick of that sh*t as an excuse. Just like how I'm sick of blistered feet, contentous promoters, wrong gloves (which is now confirmed as legit), losing after a loss. (Was Pac f'n shot after he drew with JMM and lost a decision against EM, hell f'n no) So please stop using that as an excuse. He was exposed, nothing more nothing less.

    Pac's got power and he's got speed. Both are a deadly combination. And the thing about Pac is that he's actually come over to the US to fight prime competition whether they are over the hill or not.

    Come on Calzaghe, quit hiding behind that 50,000 fan crowd who has nothing better to do than watch boring soccer matches and come to the United States.

    OH, and I would not buy into a yawnathon between Calzaghe and Bhop. Go cement your legacies, retire and wait for that midlife crisis stage to kick in gentlemen.

    Now British Fanbase vs Bhop fanbase? its like bringing a knife to a gunfight
