Former champion Joe Calzaghe doesn't think Floyd Mayweather Jr. should continue his career if he turns down a fight with Manny Pacquiao over the purse split. Calzaghe watched Pacquiao's destruction of Miguel Cotto last Saturday in Las Vegas. He was very impressed with Pacquiao's skills. He feels there is a serious debate on which of the two fighters is the pound for pound best in the world.
"[Pacquiao's fight] was absolutely stunning to watch. Having seen Cotto live before, the fight went as I thought it would, because Cotto is prone to being caught too often and Manny is just so relentless. I am so impressed with him, he just gets better and better and now I think it’s tough to say whether it’s Manny or Floyd Mayweather is the pound-for-pound king," Calzaghe told South Wales Argus.
"Surely, Mayweather is going to take the fight? It’s the one everyone wants to see in 2010 and if Mayweather doesn’t fight him because of money issues, he should just retire. Unless he’s going to fight the best, why bother?"
