    An unlikely but interesting WHAT IF...

    We all saw Bhop school Pavlik a couple months ago.

    Which gives some credit to the fact that at his age Bhop isn't quite done yet. Rightfully many people still give him credit for being in top 5 or so P4P regardless of his age. I personally think hes about number 4 or 5.

    Most people (including me) gave Calzaghe credit for beating Bhop. Most people (including me) said Calzaghe vs Roy Jones meant nothing since Roy isn't even a third of the fighter he used to be in his prime. The only significance that fight had was that if Calzaghe lost he would be exposed for losing to a shot Roy Jones.

    but WHAT IF Roy actually ends up schooling Bhop in their fight, winning convincingly? Does that mean Calzaghe actually beat a somewhat still there Roy Jones? Is RJJ back in the p4p discussions?

    If he beats Hopkins he has to be in the P4P rankings.

      RJ would definitely be back in the P4P conversation for beating Hopkins, but he wouldn't be top 10 ranked. And while styles would be a huge part of why Jones Jr. beat Hopkins, it would obviously make Calzaghe's win look far more impressive than I thought it was. I'm sure most people would disagree with that though.

        If RJ wins, he's back in the top 10 somewhere, and the guys who beat him all look a lil better.
