Is it fair to say now that Calzaghe's win over Hopkins trumps any win Mayeather has?

A win over a 44 year old trumps Mayweather's entire career? , only to British drunks.

 

Mayweather defeating Marquez by 13 points > Calzaghe SD Hopkins

...and Mayweather over Marquez is oddly enough usually not seen as one of Mayweather's two or three best wins.

 

Hatton has a better win than Calzaghe does.

Hatton W RTD11 Kostya > Calzaghe W SD12 Hopkins



As for his 5 best, debatable between these 7:

W RTD11 Kostya Tszyu - for Kostya's IBF 140 title
W TKO11 Paul Malignaggi
W KO9 Carlos Maussa - IBF and Maussa's WBA 140 unification
W UD12 Juan Urango
W KO4 Jose Luis Castillo
W UD12 Luis Collazo - for Collazo's WBA 147 title
W UD12 Juan Lazcano

 

The size difference between Hopkins and Oscar, favoring Hopkins and the size difference between Floyd and Oscar, favoring Oscar, had nothing to do with that, I'm sure...

While Oscar may be the most accomplished of Floyds' opponents, that certainly doesn't make him the only one of Bernards' caliber on that night, as you say. You don't carry a "lifetime achievement" badge that bolsters your current form. Floyd has several wins greater than his win over Oscar. The size difference is the only reason that would push a vote for Mayweathers greatest victory as the W over Oscar of 2007 at JMW, but if you feel that Oscar is the only one of Hopkins' caliber on that night, then obviously size doesn't matter to you especially with the statement of seeing "what happened when Oscar fought Bernard."

 

The don't call them *****tards for nothing!

 

Wow, strong argument you have here.

 

God you are a moron.

So no matter what Alvarez goes on to do, a post prime Floyd whipping him can never possibly be mentioned with Calzaghe's close victory of a post prime Hopkins?

 

No, Floyd had a major test between being an ordinary guy and a guy who would capitalize on millions afterwards - cinco de Mayo 2007 Oscar De La Hoya WBC 154 pounds Super Welterweight Title. Like Calzaghe, he also won by SD although many thought that both Floyd and Joe should have won by 8 rounds to 4, 9 rounds to 3 margins. The difference is that Floyd is banking on that win ever since and Calzaghe just experienced one superstardom fight with Roy after that.

 

Lmao. Again he'll ******* no lmao!

 

It beats Floyd's first win over Castillo, falling under the category "Close wins that a lot if not most people think you actually lost."

Hopkins is a much better fighter to find urself in that category with.

However, Floyd rematched Castillo and demolished him like he should have, while Calzaghe fought burned out Roy Jones and retired...

Floyd > Calzaghe (all he had to do was rematch Hopkins)

 

British drunks ...

Reebok/Lacoste wearing, SUN newspaper reading, fosters lager drinking, SKY TV subscribing British drunks if you don't mind!

Many British males (mainly white, 18-45 year olds) are big on Calzaghe as they relate to him as being this working class man of average size, average looks, average charisma.

 

How are you going to say that it trumps every Floyd win when only Pacs fans and Calzaghes fans think that he won, lmao. True boxing fans know that Hop won. I rooted for Calzaghe and still was disappointed in the suspect decision. Hop put Cal down and rocked him numerous times, and you wrote the above. Foh, lmmfao!

 

No matter how many times you write on a message board that "so many people believe Hopkins won" It was not the case. The only outrage about the Calzaghe/Hopkins decision win was Hopkin's race baiting. It was hardly Pac/Bradley I which I notice many of you same people tried tooth and nail to argue was the correct decision.
