Yes, I think so.
Casamayor is about equal to Hopkins IMO. They are very similar: durable, tricky, dirty, and defensively skilled counterpunchers.
Casamayor had never been stopped before, and only been down a couple of times, like Hopkins.
JMM won by KO, Joe defeated Hopkins by what should have been a UD. Because of Joe's past hand injuries, he didn't have the power to KO Hopkins.
JMM's win was more impressive.
But we should take into consideration Joe's win over Kessler last November, so he should not be any lower than 3.Comment

I'm shocked... honestly. I thought you were a big Calzaghe fan?Yes, I think so.

Anyway, I think Marquez's resume is lacking quite a bit to be over Calzaghe.
Marquez beat an older Barrera, a just plain old Casamayor, and a lot of good fighters who aren't quite elite, but... he gets a lot of credit for his performances against Pacquiao.
Calzaghe beat undefeated Lacy in an extremely dominating fashion, undefeated Kessler in a pretty one-sided fight, and the top dog at LHW in Bernard Hopkins. He also has some good fighters mixed in there like Sakio Bika and the like.
I think Calzgahe is still #2, but he can't ease up... Marquez could pass him with one more marquis victory, and there are a ton of opponents at 135 who can give him just that, while Roy Jones Jr. just will not do much for Calzaghe's resume at this point.Comment

Huh? A few days ago, some people were saying Casamayor was a guaranteed HOFer, and I think a couple of guys have him as an ATG.
Casamayor is an impressive win, probably the biggest of his career, but I had JMM at #1 on my P4P list long before this fight.Comment
