          Good. The world would be a boring place if we all thought the same, like a bunch of soulless clones.

            until he beats the likes of vernon forrest ,margarito, williams, quintan and cotto, he will not be number 1 (still top 3). an impressive win over dlh in sep could make him no1 again

            Pacman has clearly declined. He has looked a fading force to me since the 2nd erik morales fight. he was very lucky to get the nod against JMM (who is top 5 p4p for me)

            Cotto's is number 2 for me based on the opposition he has faced over the past few years. pbf may be too much but we will have to wait and see. He has faced 3 of the best welterweights in the world (mosley, judah, quintanta) and some really dangerous opposition at 140.

            Joe Calazaghe is the only man that has been truly outstanding over the past 3 years. He has beat the best in his division in impressive fashion, and has reigned for over 10 years as champ.

            My top 5 P4P are:

            Calzaghe
            Cotto
            PBF
            Juan Manuel marquez
            Pavlik
            nah... only if calzaghe dominates or KTFO hopkins would I even possibly consider him p4p #1 over floyd or pacquiao.

                Beating B-hop wouldnt necessarily put Joe C at the top of the tree IMHO, But he isnt far off. Joe has too many mediocre fights at 168 to be top at the moment.

                  It definately does not help that he fought in a division dominated by Europeans.

                  Still though, a lot of his early 168 title defense were against guys who faded into nothing. Eubank, Reid, and a couple of others are really the only ones who had some good success outside of getting a single title shot.

                  I am one of those people though that find the win over Kessler to be extremely impressive.

                    Calzaghe would have a case for #1 P4P if he can beat Hopkins then Pavlik, and pbf still aint fought Cotto. If Joe does that then he'll have owned the top guys from 160/168/175 in 3 fights, never been done before.

                    Now, Mayweather pretty much has the #1 spot and its not even debatable.
