Who was/is more dominant in their weight class?
Obviously Joe Calzaghe=Near 11 Years Champ,Most Dominant fighter in the SMW division ever.
Calzaghe get's my vote,LOL at anyone who didn't vote for him.
How could you vote for anyone else in that list over Joe Calzaghe?
Calzaghe
Wlad
Pacquiao
Mayweather
Mayweather did jack at Welter (beat Baldomir and Judah and Hatton who wasn't really a Welter)
Pacquiao beat Barrera, drew with Marquez
Wlad has had an impressive fun so far but was KO'd 3 times at HW might Reign for longer
Calzaghe ruled SMW for 10 years Ottke was the only champ at 168 that he didnt fact but Ottke wouldn't come out of Germany and fighters were getting robbed left right and centre over there.
Was it Pacquio at Featherweight, Mayweather at Welterweight. Calzaghe at Super Middleweight or Wlad at Heavyweight?
it is a loaded question...
floyd and manny don't belong in this poll because they jump weight classes and were successful despite moving up in weight.
on the other hand calz and wlad have both dominated weak divisions.
I am going to pick Wlad out of those choices.. BECAUSE.. he has fought everyone who matters in the last 8 years.. He hasn't ducked ANYONE...
To put it simply.. he has more top 10 ranked scalps on his belt.. Than the 3 other guys..

Who was/is more dominant in their weight class?
IMO Fom Top To Bottom
1.Joe Calzaghe- Super Middleweight
2.Manny Pacquiao- Featherweight
3.Wladimir Klitschko- Heavyweight
4.Floyd Mayweather- Welterweight
No he's a beltholder
The HW championship is vacant. I suppose Gavin Rees was world champion?
Wlad was on track to fight for the HW championship but his brother came back and now there is little chance of there being a champ for some time.
And I always get confused about which pac fights were at 126 and which at 130, so on reflection and revision I agree with warps - Calzaghe more dominant.
Calzaghe. It's the most reasonable claim. He should have fought Ottke, but that's not his fault at all.
Minus the Barrera beating, Pacquiao wasn't really dominant at Featherweight. Infact he's still yet to clean out a full division. He has an amazing resume, but it's one thing I'd like him to try before he retires, but it's doubtful.
You really can't say Floyd because even though his resume at Welter is good imo, the fact he didn't fight Cotto hurt him big time.
Wlad has done a lot, but still needs to beat his brother, Chagev, Haye, and a couple other people.
Pacman
Calzaghe
Mayweather
Wlad
Wlad isn't even the HW champion yet. He won't be now that the brothers are "sharing" the belts.
No I was referring to Wladimir Klitschko...He is the HW champ...
