Is it fair to say now that Calzaghe's win over Hopkins trumps any win Mayeather has?

    LMAO because Calzaghe's legacy and resume are so weak he has to resort to wringing every drop from his very marginal SD win over old Hopkins.
    What other ATG fighter has to follow the ongoing career of another fighter in order to enhance their resume?
    LOL, NONE byt Joe "Slappy White" Calzaghe!

    BHOP, Jones, Toney, Froch are all > Calzaghe

    You've exposed yourself as an illogical racist time and time again, your opinion means nothing.

    no its about evaluating Hopkins ability during the years around his fight with Calzaghe.
    Therefore you cannot exclude any data relating to his form, to do so is unscientific at best and at worst Machiavellian.

    No. I personally thought Bhop won the fight, but I have no issue with the judges giving the nod to Joe C. due to activity and landed more punches on Bhop than any opther opponent. Since it was a razor thin victory, I dont think it compares to:

    Mayweather TKO Corrales
    Mayweater TKO Hatton
    Mayweather UD Cotto

    This coming from a fan of Bhop and possibly the only fighter of the last 10 years that I can say is on Floyd's level in terms of boxing IQ and systematically breaking opponents down.

    Many like who? Hop floored cal and rocked him a few times. Floyd clearly best Castillo. Castillo didn't even land more than 10 head shots on Floyd.:lol:

    Mayweather's victories over past prime versions of De La Hoya and Mosley are better than Calzaghe's victories over ancient Hopkins and Roy Jones.

    Easily. And even beating shot Pacquiao will pale in comparison to 'Zaggers moving up to Hopkins weight class while shot and going to Hopkins own back yard with corrupt judges and a corrupt ref and moping the floor with him.
