    Tocker Pudwell was not in his prime when he fought Calzaghe!
    he was old & well past it!

    i give Mayweather the edge

    As you from the post above, no one even feels your man 46-0 os worth discussing...probably fits in with other 46-0 protected fighters who didn't retire...So no we can't compare Calzaghe to an even highly criticized ATG like Mayweather

    If you're doing a 46-0...you going to include JCC? Finoto? Marciano?

    90% of Calzaghe's fights were in England.

    Nuff said

    Errrr? What?
    18 of 46 were in Wales
    2 were in the US
    1 was in Scotland
    1 was in Denmark
    1 was in Germany

    That's 23 of 46 fights outside of England, exactly 50%

    How many times has Mayweather fought outside of the US?

    Mayweather's resume looks like Ezzard Charles's resume compared to Calzaghe's
