Is #2 Too High a Spot for Calzaghe on the P4P List?

My top 5:
1. Pac Man
2. Joe Calzaghe
3. Margaritio after win over Cotto
4. Pavlik
5. Marquez
I am getting a bit accustomed to the Calzaghe bashing on this
forum Cal-slappy etc but the fact is you just have to look at his results.
He has wins over the (at the time) next Tyson (Lacey), a win over contender 3 winner Sakio Bika and beat comfortably Mikkel Kessler who I predict will be the future leader in the SM division. (note I leave Manfredo in this list as that was just a US profile raising excercise).
As for B-Hop, listen to the Manny Steward commentary of him during the B-Hop Calzaghe fight on HBO where he acknowledged that Joe put more pressure on Hopkins than any other fighter had put him under. That overlayed with the fact the Compubox had him scoring more punches against B-Hop than ANY other fighter including a 1993 version of RJJ does put him in the upper ecehelons of any P4P boxnig list.
I acknowledge that if this list had Mayeather in it he would be #3 but he DOES deserve a lofty position on results alone.
Finally, please visit my site if you have a second whether you love or hate Joe:

I voted No1 p4p but i meant no2 where he should be.
How can you say he hasnt beat anyone. He just beat BH who people had in the top 5.
And BH had just beat AT. Your as good as your last fight. If JC was as bad as some people try and make out, why has noone has been able to expose JC yet? Because if he wasnt great, someone would have exposed him. Even an old BH should have done. Because it is because JC is great.Comment
