    JOEy CALZaghe....(self proclaimed)

    The term Legend/Great is branded out so loosley these days...

    Joe has a perfect opportunity....to fight PAvlik a P4P guy who is in his peak....It would also be the first time Joe has fought a a P4P guy in his peak.


    Joe recently said " ROY JONES is the greatest of 90's....but I am the greatest of the millenium" Oh Dear yes Roy Jones was a and is a LEGEND.....but dont over estimate your inflated / carefully manufactured record.

    How did Pavlik get to be a 'P4P fighter' again?

    Calzaghe had to fight Lacy to prove people wrong, then he had to prove people wrong by fighting Kessler........there's always gonna be someone he has to fight or someone who thinks he doesn't deserve to be called a legend

    Pavlik has one defence of his title and has never fought outside of his country yet he's considered pound for pound by many due to his punching power.....

    Eubank and Kessler are better than him and he beat them both.....

    Calzaghe doesn't need a Pavlik on his record.......plus by your logic if Pavlik beats Calzaghe at 36/37 years old then the victory is worthless and meaningless.......NEXT

    Taylor was never a P4P fighter.

    He was just mistakenly rated as such by some people, who then realised their mistake on seeing further evidence and reassessed him in a more realistic way.

    Who said Taylor was a p4p fighter again?

    HBO? The same people that got him those shitty decisions? Taylor isn't p4p anything, except maybe p4p most convincing fraud of the century.

    Taylor beat a FRESHER BHOP fought a Wink Wright...

    Kessler is the biggest FRAUD....(his list of opponents include BEYER LUCAS and a Rugby league player)

    He only beat them on paper.

    A lot of us with a working pair of eyes know the deal. He was HBO's darling, and he got the decisions on paper. That is all. He was never p4p anything, and its been proven after he got comprehensively beaten twice by Pavlik

    Now, rather than rating Pavlik accordingly, people have not learnt from their mistakes. They will overrate Pavlik, and continue to do so due to a win over Taylor. Until the next guy comes along, and beats Pavlik and the cycle continues.

    He beat Hopkins twice didnt he? A fighter that hasnt lost in nearly 12 years up to that point, if that doesnt make you a P4P fighter, I dont know what does.

    Both Calzaghe and Taylor had an equally as tough of a time beating Hopkins, and what did Pavlik do, he knocked Taylor the **** out, and beat him comfortably the second time. Pavlik is the man to beat right now, and a good bit more popular than Calzaghe at this time.

    Taylor struggled with a natural light-middle in Ouma aswell as a natural welter/light middle in Spinks. He also lost to Winky, again a natural 154. He lost one of the B-Hop fights, can't remember which one, was it the 2nd one?

    Taylor was never p4p. Miranda wasn't a p4p fighter either. Nor Zuniga. So quit jumping on the Pavlik bandwagon.

    He's p4p top 10 but he is supremely over-rated on here.
