    Oscar's 'loss' to Trinidad is better than anything Calzaghe ever did. I'm not a Calzaghe hater, he was a great talent but Oscar's achievements are on a different level, fought better opposition, beat better opposition, won titles in multiple weight classes etc.

    De la Hoya may have lost some of his big fights, but he still has a lot more bigger wins on his record than Calzaghe imo.

    Easily DelaHoya,Oscar always fought the best and never ducked anyone,He won 10 world titles in 6 different weight divisions

    People might say he never won any of his big fights,but then again there can be arguements made that he ended Felix Trinidads undefeated streak and also beat Mosely in their 2nd fight

    Six weight classes, actually. Unless you don't recognise the WBO.

    Del la Hoya fought damn near every top guy in their prime!!!

    You can't even put Calzaghe and Del la Hoya on the same stage!!!
