fight 1 was clearer to me in favor of pac than fight 2 was to me in favor of jmm. still, fight 2 is the recent one, and i had jmm slightly ahead (no way this was a robbery and you would not hear me brag about it - pac won fair and square, both fights). but. this is subjective hypothetical p4p speculation and who holds the belts or who's the true champ doesn't matter when i rank the fighters. #1 jmm #2 pac #3 calzaghe (maybe)
It has to be Joe, everyone's entitled to their opinion but Joe's credentials stand above everyone elses for me.
The criteria is usually based on the combination of both resume & h2h skill with resume backing up the perceived H2H ability. As it stands, Pac had 2 close fights with JMM aswell as 4 wins over MAB & Morales and 4 weight division champ, 3 lineal. Even if JMM did beat Pac twice that doesnt warrant him being ranked above Pac. Thats like saying Junior Jones ranks above MAB cos he was beaten twice. Doesnt work that way, styles makes fights and despite having the stylistic disadvantage, Pac still pulled off a close fight with JMM. If "your" p4p list ranks JMM over Pac then honestly, "your" p4p list really isnt worth shite. And thats "MY" opinion.
Though logic says Pacquiao I have to go with the guy who has been fighting guys that are not totally shot, that would be Calzaghe, Sure Hopkins was old and that shouldnt count your correct in that arguement However the Names Kessler and Lacy are better names IMO than Morales and barrera Pacquiao just rematched Marquez but look at who he has fought inbetween a shot Barrera in a rematch, Valasquez, Solis and Morales, only one was a live guy and that was Marquez but Marquez hasnt been doing that great lately himself. So to me its Calzaghe!
i have just highlighted some points here where it raised my eyebrows. well it's your opinion but do you seriously believe that you can find other people who will believe in them?
Calzaghe used to be my No#3 P4P next to PBF and Manny. I don't know why he is even considered better than Manny. PBF and Pac are way ahead of the others. Now PBF is retired, there's no other successor but Pac. After Calzaghe vocally said he's ducking Pavlik to Fight RJJ, That proves he doesn't belong to the top P4P. I just revised mine: 1. Pac 2. Pavlik 3. Cotto 4. JMM 5. Calzaghe
