If Joe wins convincingly tonight, should he be P4P #1?

[MELLY-MEL...]

Joe is number 2 for me, i am unsure if i would put him ahead of floyd even with a win against bhop. tough call. floyd is the man, regardless of everyones opinions. fact is the kid has really nnever even been close to losing a fight since way back against castillo.

[QUISQUEYA]

I think a strong arguement could be made to make him #1 and why not the man has not lost a single fight in his career much like Mayweather, he has 20+ title defenses probably has more than Hopkins has in title defenses and he has also fought all of the top very best super middleweights of his era and beat them unlike Mayweather Jr.

The top SMW's (or guys who passed thru that weight class) of Calzaghe's era include

Roy Jones
james Toney
Glen Johnson
Allan Green
Bernard Hopkins
etc

I wouldn't put Peter manfredo on that list.

If Bhop wins he should be pfp #1

Who cares about this P4P crap? It is not a accurate measurement on where a fighter stands. There are great fighters out there not even on the list simply due to politics or whatever, they cannot land a career defining fight. The P4P list is bogus and not accurate. They do not measure a fighters potential or overall skill, they are more of a popularity contest.

If Joe wants to leave his mark, beat Hopkins, then clean out the rest of the guys. He could very well accomplish it also.

People put too much stock in the P4P thing. The ranks will never get tested.

[Mr. Philadel]

Hell yea! I feel as though dependin on how good the winner of this fight looks, they should be the ne w p4p king! So if Joe makes it look EASY then he has my vote! And thatz comin from a die hard B-Hop supporter!!

[QUISQUEYA]

Well he's no. 3 now right. So beating p4p no. 5 in Hopkins, he'll rightly be at no. 2. His next fight is bound to be a big one, with Pavlik, RJJ, Tarver or someone, so if he wins that convincingly, I'd say no. 1 spot then would be reasonable. Especially if Floyd fights not another top contendor again.

Roy or Tarver is better competition than Oscar?

[Moon]

Tonight's version of Hops is not the Legendary guy that we'll remember.

The guy Zaghe will beat tonight is not an opponent that puts suddenly pushes you up the ever-changing P4P heap.

[Kris Silver]

Roy or Tarver is better competition than Oscar?

If you mean in a fight ROFL.

If you mean P4P, erm, ROFL.

Reality check.

[Diego Morales]

I dunno, I have Pac at 2 right now so i dont think Joe could jump right up to number 1 but...

Pretty much agreed but I already have Pac at 1 right now my top three are:

1)Pac
2)Floyd Mayweather
3)Joe Calzaghe

[DiegoFuego]

Hell no he ain't number one for beating 43 year old Hopkins. He is 2 or 3.
