Corrales KO10 better than Roy Jones UD Hatton KO10 better than Kessler UD Arturo Gatti TKO6 better than Lacy UD
Obviously Mayweather's resume is much better. Old Eubank Lacy Kessler Old Hopkins Shot Jones vs. G. Hernandez Corrales Jesus Chavez Castillo Castillo Old De la Hoya Hatton
It would have been a LOT trickier for Joe to do that;SM-LH-CW-HW(Which is just 4)is different to the few pounds of the lower weights.
be more specific. and anyways i don't think Floyd's resume is lightyears ahead of Calzaghe's just better but not by much.. For example Corrales better than Roy Jones? Thats debatable. Roy Jones was shot but Corrales was ****ed up on the night too. Way off his best as he was having many problems outside the ring and it showed. Gatti better than Lacy thats debatable, Gatti was shot at the time although bigger than Floyd. Hatton better than Kessler thats also debatable. Floyd also made Hatton move up to WW. and Floyd has never fought anyone as good as the Hopkins that Calzaghe beat. Oscar was shot and inactive but much bigger. Castillo was pretty much on par with Mayweather at 135. Hernandez' best win was an SD on a 39 year old Azumah Nelson where he almost got ktfo. Oscar completely destroyed him years before Floyd did in his last fight.
Yeah but look at how he avoided all the big names at welterweight. turned down 8 mil to fight margarito. what about cotto, mosley etc
Put it this way, Calzaghe probably challenged himself more in say, 2 individual fights - Hopkins and Kessler. Looking at it that way, they were harder fights for Calzaghe than any fight Mayweather took, if that makes sense. However, that is partly due to Mayweathers superiority as a fighter. In a nutshell, PBF's resume shits on Calzaghe's. His resume is deep, just lacks a couple of career defining wins that make an old school great.
