Manny Pacquiao is the right and true number OOOOOOOOONE right now, and people should just accept that and keep their little fingers crossed that one day their own hero may scale those heights. 1.Pacquiao 2.Marquez 3.Hopkins 4.Calzaghe (*I have to have Hopkins above Calzaghe for 2 reasons, 1.I thought he won their fight by a point, and more importantly 2.His wins over Tarver, Wright and Pavlik are considerably better than Calzaghe's wins over Lacy, Kessler, and... Manfredo)
Hopkins last 4 opponents: Winky, Tarver, Calzaghe and Pavlik. All 4 ranked in the p4p top 10 when he fought them. He's 3-1 against them (and really could be 4-0 as he beat Calzaghe in many peoples minds). He dominated Tarver and Pavlik too. Who has a better resume in hist 4 fights exactly??? Oh and did I mention that he did all this @ 40+ years of age. It's obvious his physical gift aren;t the same as they once were, so he has beaten these great fighters on his skill and ring intelligence, and isn't that what define pfp in the first place? Hopkins by a mile.
No he never. He lost one and drew one! I thought both were very very close and could have gone either way.
Pacquiao is great but Joe's dominance is undeniable. I don't think there is anyone south of 175 that can beat him.
talking about dominance, Pacquiao is more dominant against ELITE fighters, that something Calzaghe will never achieve, its just too late for his age but I admire his passion
