New Ring Magazine P4P List: Calzaghe overtakes Marquez to #3 spot

[Kris Silver]

It's really tight. I'd put Calzaghe at about 2.4, i.e, bitta rounding, I think he just deserves to be on the no. 2 slot. Reason being, he beats Hopkins and jumps two spots, seems to me this win suggests prior wins may have been underated, which is often said, so deserved to have gone up slightly more before. Seems like Ring are taking the American legend into account too much, and not his other wins, enough.

Anyways, I'd say literally just 2 slot, and if he beats RJJ or Pavlik, without doubt 1, especially given Floyds recent past and future challenges unlikely to win.

because he did get the W he should be at 3

[supermandathoe]

2 or 3 sounds about right.

[ExecutiveOutlaw]

i would have him somewhere in the 5-8 range

[Tuggers1986]

hopkins should drop to 7 behind vazquez and cotto

I agree!!

I'd have it...

1, Mayweather
2, Pacquiao
3, Calzaghe
4, JMM
5, Vazquez
6, Cotto
7, Hopkins
8, Calderon
9, Pavlik
10, Marquez

I am ok with him at 3 , in my rankings i have him 2 and Pacquiao at 3

[DuttyAlacrity]

Seeing the JMM lost his fight and Joe won his... I would agree but if i'm not mistaken I think the pound 4 pound lists is supposed to identify who would be the best if all these fighters were in the same weight class and fought each other.

No disrespect to Joe but if JMM and Joe were in the same weight class and fought each other Joe wouldn't stand a chance. JMM is a way better boxer.

I'm not voting in the poll cause it's bias, or just lacking answers

Cause I got Calzaghe at either 4 or 5...

Hopkins should be out......even his performance didn't deserve a split decision.

[βetamax]

Hopkins should be out......even his performance didn't deserve a split decision.

If you feel he should be out then you should also have a problem with Calzaghe's position. Why should he move up from 5 to 3 if could barely get the decision over a 11+ P4P fighter?

Personally I have no problem with the list.
