    I voted Pacquaio.

    The fact that some people are saying he is gonna KO a fighter coming three weight divisions above him is enough reason for me.

    To add up . . . some says he'll beat Torres, Malignagii, Bradley, Holt and Hatton at 140. He also beats PBF. :D :deal

    You can't say De La Hoya is still over rated. Most sensible posters in this forum openly acknowledges that DLH is way out his prime and is just hangging around for money.

    NO.

    Calzaghe last 2.5 years: 5 fights, 5 wins, 1 stoppage

    UD12 Jeff Lacy
    (very good performance v decent short-term alphabet champ)

    UD12 Sakio Bika
    (ok performance v decent challenger)

    TKO3 Peter Manfredo Jr
    (a joke.)

    UD12 Mikkel Kessler
    (career-best performance v very good short-term alphabet champ)

    SD12 Bernard Hopkins
    (unimpressive performance by Calzaghe. Edged a split decision on workrate alone)




    Pacquiao last 2.5 years: 7 fights, 7 wins, 4 stoppages

    TKO10 Erik Morales
    (rematch with the man who beat him. Became 1st man to stop HOFer Erik Morales

    UD12 Oscar Larios
    (equates with Calzaghe-Bika, ok performance v decent challenger)

    KO3 Erik Morales
    (wins series 2-1 by stopping Morales again. For the first time, Morales doesn't look like his old self though)

    KO8 Jorge Solis
    (ok performance v decent challenger)

    UD12 Marco Antonio Barrera
    (beats HOFer Barrera for the 2nd time with easy points win)

    SD12 Juan Manuel Marquez
    (edges a tight decision over the #3 p4p fighter in a brilliant fight)

    TKO9 David Diaz
    (wins world title at 4th weight with a masterclass and brilliant KO finish)





    Pacquiao has clearly been better over the last 2.5 years- that's why he's #1 and Calzaghe is #2 :patsch

    DON'T say Morales & Barrera were washed-up - Hopkins??
    (Morales was anything but washed-up in his 2nd fight with Pac, and Barrera had floored JMM and pushed him all the way in his previous fight - there is NO WAY Morales at 29-30 and Barrera at 33 were any more washed-up than a 43-yr-old man)

    DON'T say the Marquez decision was controversial - Hopkins?? SD.
    (and even then, Pac was amazing to have such a close fight with JMM, who is in great condition and is the #3 p4p. It was clear in the last rounds v Joe Cal, Hopkins no longer had the stamina to fight 12 rounds)


    Juan Manuel Marquez and Erik Morales are a ****ing damn sight better opposition than Jeff Lacy or Mikkel Kessler, and Pac never fought a Manfredo in this period.

    It's PACQUIAO.

    Definitely Calzaghe. He's had the easiest route to supposed greatness I have ever seen.

    Damn, looks like Calzaghe is running away with this. I can't say that I'm surprised. That's what happens when you spend your prime defending a bull**** trinket against Euro stiffs.

    Pavlik and Calzaghe

    Pavlik is not a HoF & Calzaghe is not an ATG
    but yet their fans talk as if they are
