    So, I was away during the Pac fight and had given Pac a bit of a stiff time over his recent performances, but Diaz was no freaking soft touch and Pac handled him so easily at 135 that I think Pac can be a big threat even at 140.

    Pac deserves his spot at #1 P4P, so long as Mayweather is retired... Calzaghe, well, very spirited to take himself from obscurity to #2 in a short number of fights against some pretty top contenders, but I have the feeling Mr Cotto will be knocking him back to three very soon.

    At some point, we need to start looking closer at Pavlik as well. If he were to beat Abraham, serious consideration for top 5 must be given. I think Abraham can beat him, but Pavlik always surprises me.

    Where would you rank Abraham if he were to beat Pavlik?

    Lower. Pavlik beat Taylor two times. Abraham's next best win is Miranda, who Pavlik ALSO beat.

    Pavlik is in my 5, he dismantled Lockett. Lockett wasn't KNOWN or notorious, but he was a #1 contender and Pavlik gave him a beat down.

    A win against Calzaghe if he gets it (I still don't fancy that fight, just don't see a stlyistic way for Pavlik unfortunately) or beating Abraham or maybe Sturm brings him a few places higher.

    But I think Calzaghe has #3 until retirement if he doesn't lose.. Cotto beating Margarito would deserve higher recognition, but that's on the back of Cotto beating a tonne of names in the last few years.

    There are some other big fights coming up, so Calzaghe's spot is tenuous on my list. I am a huge Jones fan. But he's shot. JMM could move up with a win over Casamayor. Cotto over Margarito would move him up.
