    If he was British, he would probably be under Frank Warren and it would take him 40 fights to win his first world title. After that, he'd have called out Oscar and asked for $50 million...

        Ok well It's the writers and the broadcasters who "decide" who is P4P .. so I guess in that way.. it wouldn't matter as much and a few NOn Americans make the list MOSTLY mexicans or PR's (proximity to America???)... I guess I am just saying for the majority of posters on this Forum then.. And ESB as well..

          but til when?

          It hard to have some good fighters

          I wonder what would happen if Calzaghe, Nigel Benn, Watson, Eubank mixed up with Toney, Roy Jones, G-Man and Micheal Nunn

          4 best middleweight against the other best 4 and i forgot the guy name who got KOed against Julian Jackson

              well said being number one is a long journey. Many wins many people to impress.

                What a ****** question. Of course. It's the body of work, not the nationality. When Mayweather and Wright retire or lose, do you think we won't rank Pacquiao #1? Dumb question.

                  Well Then If you are doing it on Skill alone.. Arguably.. Joe Calzaghe is a Skilled as Floyd Mayweather.. he can Dominate a STIFF Slugger Just as well as Floyd and Win a 120-108 Descion .. His Resume is Comprable.. A few genuine Threats And mostly Stiffs... Why Has Joe C never been P4P#1 ?

                  I could name a few others Who are Just as Dominant beating up 35 year olds and/or Stiffs.. who never made P4P#1 before..
                  Mostly they have being NON American In common

                      1)JC is not as skilled, mayweather is way more adaptable

                      2) Calzaghe is at 168, where he started from, and has looked not so great against mediocre opposition, whereas Mayweather is at 147 and he started from 130.

                      3) comparing JC's and PBF's record is ridiculous
