    JoeCalzaghe is an excellent fighter a Top 10 P4P,,,,,is he a Legendary fighter....YES if you believe the illusion FRANK wareen has created..

    I think he Sven Ottke and Michelcewski are the only fighters who have managed 20+ title fights each without fighting an ELITE guy.

    Manny is a 3 weight Champ , fought 3 HOF guys. Fought off home soil.

    Its totallt disrespectful to Manny to be compared to a Marketing Job like JOE.

    The fights could have gone either way, but I myself had Juan Manuel Marquez winning both fights. The judges disagreed with me for whatever reason, that is fair enough, but I'm not about to rate Marquez lower p4p because of it.

    I explain it is pretty simple: Pacman lost to Marquez twice whereas Calzaghe was not even hurt against Hopkins or Kessler.

    In addition to this, Pacman lost to an already faded Morales who was outboxed by Raheem and defeated by Diaz as well.

    I acknowledge Pacman as being a p4p top 4 fighter (May, Joe, Marquez, Pac) but he has to beat Marquez AND Guzman to be #2.

    Still, Joe should face now Pavlik.

    The 2 guys you mentioned who apparently beat Manny, were not far removed from their primes.

    Hopkins was far removed and barely lost a Split.

    Not only that, but it's about other intangiables, such as power (in a P4P sense, Pac has more), speed, chin, etc, and how proven each guy is in each category (ie not just skills).

    you do get points for landing clean punches which is what hopkins did and joe didnt...joe must have landed two decent punches all night
