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

Da truth :deal

 

I explain shortly

Mayweather beat 14th world champion , Calzaghe 7th

thank you

 

Mayweather's is clearly better and there is a big difference.

 

Mayweather continues to be overrated.

 

BOLD: Sure, Joe Louis was ****:deal

LINED: I'd actually say there's a whole lot more weight-jumping nowadays due to there being a much larger number of weight classes and useless 'titles' to grab. Physically eveolved?!!?!? Look at Joe Gans' physique, and figure that he had to make weight ON THE DAY maybe once a month, and Gans is a figther who on film doesn't look that impressive.

Think of the gloves they had to wear. They musta been tough, surely?

Then you start to see how they worked. You're telling me this:

Wouldn't be difficult for a fighter from any era? If you say not then you're a f'n moron, oh know wait, you are.

On another note, how would our pampered fighters of today fare in a land where they had to weigh in on the same day, use smaller gloves (Calzaghe would be ****ED with his hands) and fight very regularly, often giving up weight and with far less strict referees.

I think that boxing has regressed rather than progressed.

Wonder what you'll reply with, something original like, Fleadick

Knobhead.

 

That's what I was thinking.

If this thread had any influence on the TS then I am sorry :yep

Calzaghe is possibly a top 120-150 fighter of all-time - I don't think he is top 100 material.

 

Where would you have Floyd if he retired today Kos? And do you think there's anyone in my list (the page before I feel) that Floyd has achieved more than/is better than?

 

Possibly about 70-80 for Mayweather.

I had a glance at your list and although I'm no expert on the older fighters, no-one stood out as having done less than Mayweather. Maybe his record is comparable to RJJ's, but I still think RJJ trumps him in both his record and H2H ability.

 

Glad to see there are some sane minds around:good

 

this is the most sensible post i have EVER read on esb :good

 

The best british fighter ever? FFS :-(

 

The most sensible post on ESB contains the sentence "CALZAGHE NEVER DUCKED ANYONE THOUGH AND IS THE BEST BRITISH FIGHTER EVER IMO"

I dont know if that makes you or him the bigger cretin :huh
