    Joe Calzaghe was #3 p4p in the world when he Retired.

    In a sport with so many belts and weight classes that aint too bad.

    Not even Lennox Lewis ever cracked the top 5, no British based fighter has.

    Just a friendly reminder, carry on....

      Ricky Hatton has.

      Ricky Hatton was in the Top 10 P4P from 2005-2009. His 5th year running, 2 years longer than Calzaghe was ever on the P4P list.

      Kind of tells you how legitimate this thread is.

            No other British fighter ever made it to a made-up hypothetical list compiled by journalists?

            That's some achievement.

                Rating Broner at #6 is ridiculous, but Joe's rating of #3 was fair.

                The Ring magazine's ratings are done by just ONE man now, someone employed by Adrien Broner's promoter Golden Boy.

                In the time of the great Joe Calzaghe, the ratings were voted on by a panel of about 30 boxing writers who were employed by various media.

                    Boner being number 6 is probably the most ridiculous ranking ive ever seen.
