Wake! Ivan Calderon is #1 P4P

[warp1432]

Who is he fighting next warp?

They need him on a showtime or hobo card for sure.

It'll be a while before he's on showtime or HBO, but I hope they put him on a Top Rank PPV. He has no fight scheduled, but a unification match with Raul Garcia on the undercard of JCC jr.'s next fight would be great.

bernard hopkins KO % - 57
Pernell Whitaker KO % - 40
Ivan Calderon KO % - 18

big difference man

calderon is 5 feet fighthing guys 3,4,5 inches bigger than him and he makes them look amateur.

if that's not the definition of a p4p then u must hate boxing.

Yes, do show the clip of the one landed punch in fight he took against a man that walked into the ring with a 5 inch height and 17lb weight advantage. Never mind that he took him to school the rest of the fight, then did it again in a rematch.

Cazares. He won a round in the rematch, despite looking like **** most of the fight.
That counts doesn't it?

How can you batter something you can't hit? Thats the same thing people were saying about Pernell Whitaker when he fought Chavez. People forget that Pernell was a 3-1 underdog walking into the ring...

People thought Chavez would batter him and stop him. You can't batter a boxer like Ivan Calderon just as you cannot batter a boxer like Pernell Whitaker.

He can hit him. Gonzalez is tall, great head movement, powerful, and very fast.

Well Calderon is getting up in years. But, Gonzales has fought one guy that wasn't a complete stiff, so I'd say he's a small Valero at this point. No telling how good he really is.

A complete stiff? As in he was part of one? Yukita Niida, other then Joe Calzaghe, was the longest running titlist. He was good. He was the top dog at 105 besides Calderon. He beat a lot of the same competition that Calderon did and he also beat some of them easier (Ronald Barrera).

He also beat some other contenders at 105 before hand and was ranked.

Its definitely an accomplishment worth writing home about. Seriously though, the size difference between those two makes the Pacquiao - De La Hoya matchup seem like it was against two evenly sized fighters.
