Floyd Mayweather= American, Black Joe Calzaghe

[Rassclot]

Great bait thread!

That's because it's the truth.


troll.

[F l i c k e r]

Hall of famers?

Shane Mosley
Oscar De La Hoya
Genaro Hernandez
Jose Luis Castillo
Diego Corrales

And he fought all of them at their best weight classes, He didnt make them fight at catchweights.

All of these fighters were also coming off career defining wins at their best weight, Not devastating losses like most of Pacquiao's opponents.

lol. burn!

Joe Calzaghe is a perfect parallel to Mayweather. Hopkins and RJJ are both first ballot HOFers. But do you give Joe Calzaghe credit for his wins over them? Nope. Floyd is undefeated you say? So is Joe. Unlike Floyd Joe doesn't have a controversial loss(Castillo). Joe is also 46-0. Floyd's got some catching up to do.

Hopkins and RJJ are the DLH and Mosley of Mayweather's resume. Take those 2 away. Mayweather does not have a single HOFer on his resume that he fought in their weight class.




Boom.


Exposed.



But Floyd is a Black American. That lends him credibility he wouldn't have other wise. His blind bat fans(mostly American) will hold up his skills and even though he's not a dynamic fighter.... he does not have any KO power.... his fights have no replay value.

gorilla-dog and cokezaghe are both ***** ******s. they are cowards and douchebags.

Are you a shot poster? What happened?

[Rosseboi]

I don't really think either fighter can be bashed in all honesty; they're both amazing talents.

That said I've never seen Floyd throw punches in bunches like Joe.

I've never seen Floyd with Joes' footwork.

Nor stamina.

Nor ability to adapt in the ring.


I'm not saying Joe is better but to have those superior attributes - and be bigger so it should be the other way around - is something special.

[Rassclot]

As it stands right now, Floyd should be neck to neck with Calzaghe on the ATG or HOF list.


Their resumes are completely identical.


So to say Floyd is one of the greatest of all time is just a straight up bull****.

Is this silly thread still going on? HA

Just had a 2 hour workout session in the boxing gym and this stupid thread is still being commented on lol

Joe is also 46-0. Floyd's got some catching up to do.

Floyd has beaten 15 world champions. Joe has beaten 10. Floyd has won titles in 5 weight classes. Joe has won titles in 1 weight class. Floyd has been a top 10 P4P fighter for 12 years. Joe was a top 10 P4P fighter for 3 years. Calzaghe fought the #1 ranked opponent in his division 2 times. Floyd fought the #1 ranked opponent in his division 6 or 7 times, plus 2 more who were ranked #1 in a different division. Joe Calzaghe is the one who has catching up to do if he want's to match Floyd's accomplishments.

Both are talented, both are open to criticism regarding their respective opponents.

What did Pacquiao do after Morales beat him? He waited until Morales lost to Raheem at 135 and then fought him at 130 and ducked Raheem. Which was a ***** move, Mayweather didnt wait for Castillo to lose. He gave him an immediate rematch.

Pacquiao signed for the rematch immediately, thus a twinbill featuring
Pac/Velasquez and Morales/Raheem was done for promotional purposes.
Unfortunately, Morales lost, taking some of the luster off the subsequent
Pac/Morales rematch, but arguing that Pac 'waited until Morales had lost'
is grossly inaccurate rubbish.
