    There was an interview with PBF on Eurosport (not long after he beat Gatti) and he was being asked about Ricky Hatton. After Floyd had correctly dissed Hatton skills as a boxer he was asked about other british fighters that he had seen, he picked out Calzaghe and being the fastest and smartest boxer "behind myself" in the word today.

    I remember reading it on espn or something, where he said Joe was P4P number two, but I wouldn't mind someone giving us the article again, its been a while since I read that. He probably just appreciated someone who's boxing skills where close to his.

    It was more to the fact , Floyd was ask what does he think about fighting one Manchester's finest , which floyd responded "Im not fighting Manchester's finest I'm fighting Ricky Hatton , Joe Calzaghe is Manchester's finest Boxer."

    Busta, I like you man, you make me laugh. But you will do ANYTHING to discredit Joe, even when a "legend" speaks and says he's "the truth".

    Joe deserves credit for his brilliance. I know you won't agree, but that's THE TRUTH. End of story.

    Calzaghe's a beast - but I doubt if Floyd said he's the best he's ever see.

    Calling him #2 on the P4P List - coming from the #1 Guy is a compliment.

    Calzaghe is the best boxer in Europe. And P4P number 2 in the world. Nobody in the world today, comes anywhere near PBF or Calzaghe, thats a fact.

    I generally like Calzaghe as a fighter, but you said the same **** before the PBF Hatton fight:patsch...haven't you learned?
