    Kind of dodgy ground calling Calzaghe for "ducking" Wright, Pavlik, Taylor and a prime Hopkins when none of them spent much time at 168lbs when Calzaghe was active.

    Records are about who boxers DID fight.

    Mayweather has a better record than Calzaghe. End thread.

    Mayweather has the better resume but it's not by as much as some would have you believe.

    Both fighters resumes are **** poor considering the amount of fights they've had.

    They both have their own abilities, but everyone sees Floyd as some technically superior machine with a blend of impenetrable skills.

    I've seen shitloads more impressive fighters skillwise, and in fighting/beating better opposition too, with far more stacked resumes and fighting far more regularly.

    Floyd is above Calzaghe, but Calzaghe has faced the best fighter out of the pair, that being Bernard Hopkins.

    You can compare them. As I say, Calzaghe has faced the best fighter out of the two in B-Hop.

    There is no comparison Joe's record is a joke when looked closely into.

    So apart from the OP the only person who says they're close is the lad slowly becoming the biggest Floyd Hater on the forum :deal

    Mayweather easily, I liked Joe but his opposition was pretty poor, Mayweathers isnt as bad as people make out, unbeaten Corrales, unbeaten Hatton, DLH, Marquez are all good wins and better than most of Calzaghe's. I give him credit for beating Eubank, Lacy, Kessler and Hopkins but Lacy was a pretty limited opponent and Kessler hasnt proved himself against anyone notable, Hopkins was post-prime but still dangerous. Yeah I think Mayweather has the better CV fairly comfortably, when he adds Mosley it wont be close at all.

    Yes, there is a comfortable margin between the two.

    Mayweather has the record of a top 40 fighter but probably not any higher and generally gets a huge pass for his perceived H2H skills when people talk about him as one of the greatest of all-time because his record is nowhere near the best. Particularly the last few years have been disapointing after making a great start to his career.

    Calzaghe didn't fight good enough opposition consistently to be anything more than a borderline great depending on who you talk to and I understand peoples POV when they say he isn't. Personally I'd have him around 90-100.

    funny how calzaghe 'destroyed' lacy and kessler now... it must be his brutal KO power that is destroying all these fighters.
