Number 2 ...No doubt.

Right after Floyd.

Yeah Floyd goes up and down weight classes and that makes some good matches but the thing is, is that I dont if he's ever beaten a real #1 fighter, De La Hoya is a #1 fighter but in terms of what he's done lately it's not that much and also Floyd isn't always that impressive in his wins. I mean I wouldn't have expected him to stop De La Hoya or back him up. I guess he did what he could in that fight but the descision was very close regardless. I dont know who Floyd could beat that would be similar to Pavlik beating Calzaghe, De La Hoya is alot better than Calzaghe but not in his last several fights and I really belive he could have done alot more against Mayweather.

I'm talking about P4P status here.

If Pavlik can beat them, then theres a tie for 1# p4p.

If you said Floyd was #1 P4P even if hypothetically Pavlik did even stop Calzaghe after beating Taylor I wouldn't argue. I just think you could make a reasonable case. A tie would be fine to me also.

uh #2 maybe but definitely not #1 as long as Mayweather is competing

considering there's never been a "tie" for pound for pound number one and considering you scored five rounds for Hatton, I think you have no business posting in this or any thread for that matter that includes Floyd Mayweather

Yeah Ferocity is done in boxing chat.....the thread I have posted him in..has offically eneded his "career"

**The Troll** · 12-12-2007, 03:13 PM

I could have a tie. Maybe ring magainze has never had tie.

ferocity is never accused of being the most unprejudiced poster, but he's fought pro and I haven't so I show a little respect.

To the question: NO. Pavlik is not the best fighter in the world, and even those two very unlikely wins wouldn't make him so.

I think he has almost no chance at beating Calzaghe anyway.
