    Yes. Mayweathers list of opponents is completey superior to that of Calzaghe's.

    If you posted up the same two sets of fighters that you did in the last forum. I will kill myself if Calzaghe's is considered the better

    Do a poll too you terd :good

    Dan 864 or what ever your name is , here goes :

    Calzaghe's notable wins :

    Eubank - proven world class SMW , the then world champion , maybe a little past his best .

    Woodhall - A good domestic fight for a world title which proved Woodhall did not belong at world level

    Reid - Reid in his prime gave Calzaghe the biggest problem of his whole career , not Joe's best performance .

    Bika - Another untidy win against a genuine world class SMW who still sits in the top 8 - 5 fighters in the world .

    Lacy - Un defeated Lacy was looking un stoppable and Calzaghe completley dominated him , he never looked the same after that .

    Kessler - The best Mikkel Kessler anybody @167 has ever fought and Calzaghe served up a boxing lesson and unified the division . By far a career best win .

    Hopkins - Calzaghe allowed Hopkins to fight his fight and it looked scrappy but Calzaghe won the fight clearly in most people's eyes , either way a genuine challenger at a higher weight class

    Jones - the name looks good but we all Jones was shot .

    Mayweather's notable wins :

    Corrales - Ranked top 5 P4P , 34 and 0 with 34 stoppages and Floyd dominated , blitzing him in a career best win .

    Castillo 1 - Floyd hometown decision , disgrace enough said .

    Castillo 2 - Floyd wins a close fight by decision , very good win goes 1 & 1 with JLC .

    Gatti - A blown up LW , served on a platter for Floyd @147 .

    Judah - A genuine win at the time for Floyd did have some problems with Judah's rear hand but ran out comfortable winner

    Hatton - Fighting a smaller man again , ran for most of the fight and worked Hatton out around the 6th from that point dominated and eventually stopped the LWW champ @147 .

    De La Hoya - Stepping up in weight against a well over the hill De La Hoya , got a close SD .

    Marquez - A blown up LW again served up ripely for Floyd again @147 (after he ignored the CW limit) .

    Thats how i see it , how do you ???????? :deal

    mayweather has the much better resume, but calzaghe has fought some tough fighters, omar sheike, charles brewer, hopkins, jones, kessler, lacey (hehe), but he has always been overprotected by that **** frank warren. theres no doubting calzaghes ability, and his heart, but he should have left warren years ago. amir khan has thankfully seen what happens if u stay with warren!

    mayweather has the superior resume!!:deal

    I'm not bothering picking holes in your ridiculous breakdown. If the poll goes against me I shall THEN pick holes in it before I shall probably take a break from this forum

    Noonan you are correct.

    And the S/M weight limit is 168 not 167
    And Floyd/Gatti was for a L/Welter title not 147
    And Floyd ran for virtually none of the fight with Hatton
    And Eubank was 'maybe a little past his best' he was years past it

    I think Calzaghe can get a little OTT stick over his record but even giving him every benefit of the doubt it still doesn't match up to Mayweathers.

    Am I the only person who thinks Mayweather's resume is seriously underrated? MAyweather wins this easily and I like Calzaghe a lot.

    I admire Joe's achievements and the fact he was never beaten but he wouldn't have had the same longevity if he had fought the best throughout his world title reign, but then there weren't too many obvious fighters for him to face other than Ottke but it wasn't like he ducked him.
