    Pac is ahead of Calzaghe though. He fought 3 hall of famers. Calzaghe fought Kessler. Enough ****ing said.

    There you go. Calzaghe has the weakest resume of any good-great fighter period. He cant even catch up.

    1. Mayweather

    2. Pacman
    3. Calzaghe

    If Calzaghe beats Hopkins, he's #2.

    I think it's fair to say that Pacquiao should pay for the same "wrong-doing" that Mayweather happened to do against Hoya. It's like the spell is turned against the wizzard, you go down in the ratings because of what you haven't done, not because you did something really wrong. Mayweather was questioned when decisioning Baldo because he was said to have not provided with the levels of excitement that Pacquiao did in his third fight with Morales - Pacquaio is fairly questioned after winning a close decision against JMM now, when Mayweather's last performance resulted in a TKO win against Hatton. Mayweather clearly a notch above Pacquaio.

    1. Mayweather







    2. Either Cal or Pac/JMM


    But after last night, Pac's standing on the p4p ratings is not BY HIMSELF. He and JMM are tied, no ifs no buts.

    for entertainment value Pacman is obviously No.1 but Floyd is clearly the P4P king

    And lets's not forget that Calzaghe f***s up his own position when saying "Kessler is a very good fighter, he is a more technical fighter than Lacy, punches straight and hard but he fights the same way all the time, he is not a GREAT, EXCEPTIONAL fighter" (SETANTA CALZAGHE-KESSLER SHOW)... " Hopkins is no Mayweather and I am not Hatton" (YT interview video for April 19th)... And I understand he wanted/wants to bring down the pressure put on him but he cannot say otherwise when all is said and done. Calzaghe did not consider Kessler an elite fighter like some of his supporters do, and he feels that Hopkins is a low risk opponent whereas Mayweather was not for Hatton.

    :lol: at the title of this thread.

    The majority of boxing fans had JMM winning a close fight, and yet Pac (after losing) can somehow go ahead of Mayweather in the p4p list?

    Mind-boggling. JMM would then share this spot with Pac, right?

    i agree but thats because Diaz really isnt that good. I think Morales was shot especially after the raheem fight. and i also think that Mab was shot the 2nd fight
