    Let me be the first to say: NO. I am a critic of his, and although he is wildly overrated by some of his own fans, I think he deserves his #2 p4p placing (for now), and I think most of us non-fanboys and Calzaghe's own rational fans, rate him in accordance with his ability and achievements. He is around the top 10 of his era/generation, no more no less.

    No, and your thread creating capabilities should be disabled for even thinking that this is debatable.

    Depends on how you rate him...

    The public consesus... no. Most people don't think much of him, especially after the Hops fight.

    Here... Very very close. Possibly.

    If he's a Calzaghe fan I certainly wouldn't put it past him.

    First of all I don't 'hate' Mayweather, I look at his career objectively. I have never seen a fighter receive as much hype as Mayweather. When you have idiots on message boards argueing he's the best 147lber of all time it really gets sickening. He's beaten a handful of good fighters and made a career of fighting wash ups, has beens, and nobodies. He's one of the biggest frauds in the history of boxing.
