Calzaghe & Mayeather's CV / Resume , is there much difference ???

What is your point? :huh

 

Mayweather owns Calzaghe whatever way you look at it.

P4P rankings.
Better boxer hands down.
Better opponents.
More titles across more weight classes.
Fought at a higher calibre earlier on.

 

That is a mute point.

 

If anyone wants me too, I can argue Floyd out of a top 50. I'm pretty happy with my list, and the fighters on it are far more accomplished, and in most cases, more skilled.

I just can't see why so many boxing fans hold this guy in such high regard, and his skillset too. Nothing special. I can think of better defensive fighters who also fought better opposition.

 

It is also often overlooked that Eubank took this fight at less than 2 weeks notice, and his previous two fights to this were at light heavyweight and hadn't boxed at the super-middleweight limit for two years.
So Eubank was well past what he once was, took the fight at short notice and had to cut weight. So when you look at those facts, it isn't as great a result as it first appears on paper.

 

Dan; I'm a 'hater', you're a 'hugger'

My points are valid though. Floyd is massively overrated.

 

Mayweather has the better record for sure. But Calzaghe was a special fighter has Mayweather himself once stated.

 

Where would you place him?

And where would you place Calzaghe?

 

Calzaghe probably wouldn't make the top 100.

Floyd would be between 80-90 AS OF TODAY

 

For anyone thats interested, is there anyone here who Floyd has bettered (better opposition)

Have a look at my top 50-odd fighters above.

You probably ain't heard of 'em, and who da **** do you think you're calling Flea Dick you cheeky little ****?!?!? I have my reasons for not having Calzaghe in there, he isn't top 100 material.

 

:|:|:|:|:|

Dry your eyes bellpot.

You did the thread to ask who thought what ?? Then you should have done the poll. My guesses are you found it too hard and probably couldn't do one. Either that or you knew that this was gonna be a one sided affair and didn't want to be made to look stupid. Even Flea who doesn't like Floyd has agreed that Floyd has the better record.

Flea's a very good poster and knows his stuff. Calzaghe would MAYBE break into the top 100 but not having him in there is not a raging travesty in anyones opinions.

The Eubank point of Gaz's is a well known point.

You are either on a wind up or you genuinely know nothing about the sport that you talk of. I'm presuming that you fall under the 'latter' of those choices as I haven't seen anything to suggest humour in your posts.

I'll direct you for future reference :good
