    Better win that's your flawed opinion and the agenda you're pushing. Canelo was a better win pac oscar hatton chico hell i could argue Mosely jlc and cotto were as well. This thread is ridiculous and there's a reason why no one here agrees with you.

    How was Kessler elite at the time of their fight?

    Canelo is easily the best fighter either fought.. Canelo is much better than hops and Jones Jr as true boxer, fighter, elite and will fight anyone, proved by fighting fmj and GGG, losing to those 2 atg best of the best is nothing to worry about.

    Better wins as a whole than both hops and rjj

    Fyi: fmj and calz are both unbeatable at their best weight, both goats

    If that's true then Calzaghes win over Jones Jr. Is better than all of them.

    To me, Mayweather has the better wins, the better skillset, went through more divisions, and was simply the better fighter.

    And its not really that close, imo.

    In all honesty, Floyd’s best wins were at 130 when he was first starting out. It was then that he was considered (at least potentially) to be in the vein of Arguello, SRL, Duran etc. However, he would opt for safe money and the sure thing as he went on. This is why he was so frustrating for real boxing fans.
    Look at it like this: Floyd made people take notice early on in his career and then played it safe. Joe played it safe early on in his career and then made people take notice. Floyd has had the better career, better wins etc. But as time passes his 0 will mean less and he’ll be remembered in a similar vein as Joe and Rocky Marciano; impressive but second tiered competition.

    Mayweather is a greater boxer, but it was always my contention that the style which is/was most likely to beat Mayweather was Calzaghe's. Style make fights, I guess.

    If you troll: you gotta try harder and be more convincing.

    ''Kessler the man who beat legendary Anthony Mundine before facing Calzaghe is better victory than anything Floyd has. Thats pretty set in stone.''

    CMON, you gotta try harder.
