Latest Ring Mag P4P: Calzaghe Stays at #3

[IwatchBoxing]

3 is good enough for him

I believe Ring Magazine also stated that they thought Marquez won the decision over Pacquaio but would still give the Ring Magazine title to Pacquiao.

Not sure if that affects their p4p rankings.

Yea true BUT it proves that the Hopkins Calzaghe beat could beat almost anyone from 160-175 which IMO means he should be up there at 2 with Hopkins at 3 and Marquez at 4.

Fortunately you dont work at Ring Magazine.

They put Marquez above Calzaghe after the win over Casamayor though so it's not like they dropped Calzaghe in the rankings for dominating Roy.



It actually means that Calzaghe had a great career, not Roy.

Yes, I've turned by back on black people.

I'm now all about white pride, a self-hating black racist Finn who pretends to pretend to live in America, spreading propaganda as always.

LMFAO. At least it sounds like you have reformed yourself then. Good to see it is never too late.

I have no argument with anyones P4P it just seems like it is entirely opinion.

Tad surprised. I think he was just about 2 before, and this shoulda just pushed in over in Ring if he wasn't already there. If Pacman loses it'd be weird to have JMM #1, and Calzahe #2.

You know, I never thought of it that way, but this actually makes a lot of sense. I don't take any issue with JMM being ranked over Joe or vice versa.

Then again, Hopkins twice "lost" to Taylor, but still sailed right past him and almost everyone else in a ton of P4P lists after beating Tarver. If you're among those who believe Marquez won one or both fights (or even won one and drew the other), there's the counter reply.

they admit too that it was a close fight and could've gone either way so it's not like a robbery therefore a lost for jmm is justified and shouldn't have affected their decision in rankings.

I had JMM beating Pacman once, so for me they both have too many losses. I still had Pacman #1 before Saturday and would have Mayweather ahead if he were active.

But Calzaghes had a great past 3 fights with good things in each. Be it unifying against the best SMW and clearing up the SMW division, in an immensley good performance. Grinding out a win against an awkward still elite Hopkins, to really looking the unquestionable LHW #1 last saturday.

JMM lost recently, Mayweathers retired. It's not the most self earn t #1 placement but as things stand with the current circumstances I think it's right. If Pacman loses I really don't think JMM with a recent loss is justified p4p #1 over Calzaghe's recent achievements. It's not like he'll be there long, he'll soon be rightfully overtaken anyway.

calz can be #1 or #2 but no way beating a shot rjj makes him #1.
