    You bring up a good point about the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight because I was one of those people who did score it for Hopkins, but you'd have a much easier time in arguing that Marquez should have gotten the nod then Hopkins did imo.

    And I took recent as in 2008's resume. That's why.
    Diaz is was just a typical champion, Jones was a shot Champion. IMO the win is on the same level - with Calzaghe's getting overated. Diaz is one of the lesser names on Pacquiaos resume, Jones is one of the best on Calzaghes..thats saying a lot. Barrera (2), Marquez (2), Morales(3), Solis, Valesquez, Ledwaba..destroys anything Calzaghe brings forth - let alone the fact that Pacquiao destroyed a Prime Barrera. Calzaghe destroyed what? a Prime Lacy? get outta here...

    Pacquiao has fought the best of his generation, it could be the best resume of this generation if you factor in the weight classes he's jumped. Calzaghe did not fight the best of his generation, all the possible big name fights never happened untill they were old and past it.
