Who is the second best fighter in the sport

[Scott9945]

I agree. If they both win their next fights it will be very close between them. I'll go with whoever wins more impressively. Today I'd say Calzaghe because he is undefeated, even though I like Pacquiao better.

Doesnt Pac have 3 losses though?????

Yes, which is why I would put Joe C. just above him. Only one of Manny's losses have been recent enough to be relevant though. He avenged that loss twice, and beating JMM would erase his other imperfection.

In terms of skills or accomplishments ? In terms of skills I say Mayweather. Accomplishments, Mayweather also. But there are many other great fighters out there who can line up alongside him. JMM, Pacquiao, but Joe Calz? Who the **** has he beat, Manfredo? Come on he needs to fight in the states where the real fighters come to battle for bragging rights !!!!

[Ironside]

Joe Calzaghe, he just beat the absolute best SMW other than him.

[Sin City]

Not with 5 losses he aint

I don't think Margarito is the second best.. but if you think you can't be the best with losses on your record your a ****ing douche!

I think it's Joe Calzaghe.

Though Joe Calzaghe vs Pacman p4p........ouch! tough one to call.

I see that fight going way, and its the same way as Calzaghe Kessler went. Pacman has technically sound boxing skills and dynamite in his fists. More important though he likes to come forward a bit and Joe will feed off that style, Joe by close UD if Pacman doesnt put him to sleep. (sounds rediculous I know but P4P Pacman is a beast)

[Fox McCloud]

If we are talking about accomplishments, it's Pacquiao and it isn't even close.

Calzaghe has the ability, but if he doesn't get a few more signature wins (like Hopkins), there is no way he can be considered above Pacman.
