    I should have clarified that what I said is regarding to the P4P top ten, April 2008. Thought the context of the post was enough.

      Neither had just beat fighters 20% of that calibre of Tarver and Wright.

          Also worth considering, Joe Calzaghe won by a split decision, and was even knocked down during the fight.

          Mayweather ko'd Hatton, won SD to DLH without being knocked down.
          Cotto KO'd Judah, UD'd Mosley and last week KO'd Gómez (who could not being KO'd by Calzaghe's victim, Mr. Manfredo).
