Mayweather, Calzaghe - why rate Mayweather higher?

what do u smoke before u come on here?

 

Let's face it...

I was never a fan of PBF or of his particular style. Anyone who knows me, knows that. I have also said that Calzaghe is a very good fighter, who makes for very exciting fights.

However, there is NO WAY that any unbiased party could possibly believe that Joe Calzaghe is above Floyd Mayweather pound 4 pound.

JC might be feared at 168, but Floyd would be the favorite in any conceivable fight at any weight he could currently make.

That's the point.

 

thats one of the best quotes ive herd today

I am a big JC fan ma best boxer but damn even having his name mentioned next to somebody like that is a great honor Joe is doing alright and hopefully get the fame he deserves from his boxing talent

 

star power

 

nah in this instance you really dont need a full sentence the proof is int he resume...its not asaying Cal is trash no...its jsut saying he hasnt done much compared to Floyd......i mean Floyd's resume is just head over heels better as of right now. I mean 44 fights and the best three on there are Eubank Lacy and Kessler.....it just doesnt compare and if Cal beats B-Hop then he to will have a "werent in their prime" fighter on his resume. Floyds faced better comp my man by far....and the better accomplishments although i do know its unfair because Floyd started so low and Cal cant really move up that many weights.

 

Floyd has done more in one year than Calzaghe has done in his entire career. Two different levels of fighters.

 

Kessler was a bigger threat to Calz than Hatton was to Floyd. I doubt Hatton could have won with a different stratagy but he could have survived 12 rounds as did Kessler. Instead, Ricky went for broke and went out on his shield. I respect that. If anything, the last performances of Calz. and PBF close the gap a bit.

 

And as someone has already pointed out he's had to dig deep several times too, with crap competition.

Compare that to Jones who only had to dig deep once to win when he was weight drained and 35 years old. Good but not great is how Calzaghe should be described.

 

well said

 

You seem to be suggesting that because Calzaghe isn't as good a fighter as Floyd then they should be ranked closer to each other on a P4P basis?

Kessler might have been a bigger threat to Calzaghe than Hatton was to Floyd, but Hatton was higher P4P than Kessler on pretty much everyones lists when he fought Mayweather. Mayweather KO'ing Hatton widened the gap if anything.

 

i agree with evreything u say

just wish warren let calzaghe over there earlyer and placed more money on the table when he offered Jones , Hopkins and evreybody else

 

:good

 

In terms of ability, it's a close call. Both are brilliant fighters.

In terms of resume, Floyd has done more throughout his career. It's hard to argue against 6 titles in 5 weight classes. However, recently, Calzaghe's win over Kessler surpasses Mayweather's win over Hatton.

 

his opponents havent all been crap compertion sum were world champions and most were proven contenders in the devision , n it takes a champion to get through and dig deep , its a sahme u cant really understand boxing to know this

 

Well if his resume is so great then go right ahead and list all the great wins he's had apart from one dimensional Lacy and unproven Kessler...I'm all ears. Don't even think about mentioning Eubank by the way.

Yes it does take a champion to dig deep I agree. A GREAT champion shouldn't have to dig deep against Richie Woodhall and Robin Reid though, that's my point.
