    Umm no???

    Nothing he has done has number 2 p4p written on it.
    I think you're missing about 8 years worth of fights before that where he defended his title. And whether you like it or not, he beat Hopkins, who was a top 5 p4p fighter at the time.

      The large large majority will disagree with you there.

      All the top sites who make P4P lists have Joe in the Top 5.

      I personally think he fights like a ***** fighting his way out of spider webs and never miss a chance to debate his most loyal fans and stick it to them BUT you have to cutt the guy some slack if you want to be taken serious in debates and not being considered a flamer or troll.

        Joe would probably beat most of the guys in the top 5 P4P if they were the same weight.

        Going by the logic that is supposed to be the pillar of any P4P list, we would have to put Good ole' Joe in the top 5.

        But he won't beat Jones

          One of the most biased highlight films I've EVER seen. And I search for highlight films.

          That being said, NOT WORRYING ABOUT THAT FILM, I still think that Jones has MUCH more of a shot at beating Calzaghe then people give him credit for.

            Since talk of this fight started I've been thinkin Roy don't have it in him to take Joe C at this point, but the more I think about it, Roy's always been better than him and his age means nothin in this fight cuz Joe's not the fighter at 175 he was at 168. He ain't got the pop to KO Roy either. My heart was wit Roy in this fight before and now my head's co-signin. Might not be a wipeout but Roy will take the 12 rd decision.

              I think people are voting with thier hearts on this one and not with thier heads.. Damn, If I wasn't a Calzaghe fan I'd love for Jones to win this fight, what a fairy tale ending to his career.

              It would be remarkable if Jones won this, it would be his career best win IMO.

                i am unsure on this fight, i want jones to win to finish off a great career but Calzaghe might just be too good for him at this stage, i dunno.

                  Yeah I expect Calzaghe to turn into a blown up Welterweight who stands still with no head movement overnight. He's even going to turn orthadox too.

                    And Calzaghe is not a top 5 p4p fighter.

                    Why the hell would Jones lay on the ropes aginst Calz for long periods at atime.

                    Calzaghe cant hurt him at all....

                    Calzaghe has no power at 175 pounds...NONE.

                    Roy is still crisp, fast and strong......Calzaghe is not bigger, faster, or stronger then Roy.
                    That was his second comeback fight, and he looked pretty good I thought, but he also faced Anthony Hanshaw, who is not Joe Calzaghe at all.
