    Marquez, based on competition and skill.

    Calzaghe was a bit of a tosser at times, got caught up in Hopkins' mind games, got into an ugly brawl and nearly ended up costing himself the fight.

    Could you see Marquez doing that ****, no.

    Calzaghe, the only reason Marquez was good was because he had good chin/heart

    so his perfectly timed accurate punches and textbook hooks, body punches mean nothing? Calzaghes lucky he never faced an opponent even close to Pacquiao or Floyd.

    This is like the ugliest comparison possible, the great that throws the best combinations vs the human flailing windmill who is also sorta great.
    I know its not a cosmetic question but sjeez.

    This is truly comparing a diamond vs a turd when it comes to executing boxing skill.
