where did anyone else say that? So far I'm the only one who has stated this on the forum. I'm a real boxing fan not someone who lives in a make believe world of tough guys w/spartan mentality. I enjoy boxing as a sport and am pretty knowledgeable about it. I enjoy debating cats who try to dispute someones talent because they don't lik the guys personality. Those are usually weak arguments.
Synister, watch the tape again dude, he said he would like to fight PBF because he's the champ, he reiterated his desire to be champion and will fight anyone with the belt. At that point (early last year, late 06), why would PBF consider Cotto when at he had fought worth mentioning was Judah?
Someone mentioned Roy Jones Jr. He can't be considered P4P today, but in his prime (90s) there was no better talent in boxing. Check the stats. He was simply amazing and awe-inspiring to watch. His athleticism and unconventional style was unmatched. He suffered from a lack of competition in his division for years. The only fighters worth fighting then were Hopkins (whom he beat) and James Toney (again he defeated).
JOE Calzagne is a rare talent, but P4P, not yet. The only notable names worth mentioning were Lacey and Kessler. He's yet to fight away from home and he is a pitter patter type fighter (lots of punches with nothing on them). He reminds me of the Cuban olympic fighters. If anyone knows anything about Oly boxing its about punches thrown and landed and not effective blows. Calzagne's gotta blow out Hopkins and then beat Pavlik in order to be P4P to me. Still a great talent though.
