Joe Calzaghe vs. Shane Mosley

Calzaghe is the more skillful fighter out of the two. it only seems so because calz only fights bums, past their prime fighters and senior citizens.

Calzaghe is the more skillful fighter out of the two.

Shane out shines Calzaghe in every category :boxing:

So: Betting odds opinion opinion (2) opinion (3) inform how good a performance was? Okay. no, but if a guy is highly favored over another, it generally means that they are highly regarded in the boxing community. especially if the fighter theyre fighting is still considered a very good fighter. I consider Margarito a much better fighter than Lacy(he certainly was much more accomplished than him), and the fact that Mosley actually finished him dramatically early in the 9th round is pretty amazing. what else are we supposed to go by? I mean, Calzaghe didnt get hit as much as Mosley did, but personally, I thought Mosley won the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds much more dominantly than Calzaghe did.

Joe is hugely underated but Mosley's career beats him every single day of the week. Mosley has always stepped up to the bar and fought the absolute best always he's never ran and sought them out whereas Joe simply did not do that even though he had the talent to make it possible. Mosley has the perfect boxer's mentality he wants the greatest fights and even though most americans I meet are utterly biased against Joe because he isn't american or black Joe has serious pussy issues - he never did chase greatness. Mosley is the man!!!!

mosley all the way yep mosley way better than calz and its not even close.

Mosley should have a clean sweep in all these categories, but then again we do have guys like Tunney on the board

Mosley obviously, not taking anything away from Calzaghe, but Shane just destroyed the man who was the King of the most dangerous division in boxing. He also has more creditable wins and fights.

just out of curiosity, Im wondering how people actually voted that Calzaghe faced the harder competition.

In Calzaghe's last fight, he got dropped and took a very past prime Roy Jones to decision. In Mosley's last fight, he dominated and knocked out the best Welterweight in the world, who was coming off the biggest win of his career and was even in the p4p rankings(although possibly undeservingly), when about maybe 5% or less boxing fans thought he could knock out Margarito. I think the 'who is the better fighter now' option is very open for Mosley.

No, not who would win if they fought. but comparing their careers. after all, they both are about 37, both turned pro in 1993(15 years of pro experience), both have extensive amateur careers, and both are overall considered the best in their weight classes at this present time despite them being slightly past their prime. so... Who fought the better fighters? Who is better at this present time? Whos destruction over a limited(but still very good) opponent was more impressive? Who was a better fighter in their prime? Overall, who had the better career? Hard to say who's better, but I think its clear Mosley fought better guys and when they were closer to their prime.

Mosley has fought better fighter, Calzaghe is probably the better fighter at this time, Mosley's domination over Margarito was more impressive to me, Mosley was better in his prime and Mosley has had the more accomplished career IMO.

he knew he won he was just being a good sport. unlike calzaghe who has his head up his ass and thinks he's the greatest of all time cause he beat lacy! Robin Reid and good sport don't belong in the same sentence. He's always been a whinging little whore. He was even trying to make excuses after he got obliterated by Lacy :lol1:

Thanks, but I'll take his initial reaction that he felt like a beaten fighter. That, and my own view of the fight of course. he knew he won he was just being a good sport. unlike calzaghe who has his head up his ass and thinks he's the greatest of all time cause he beat lacy!

he admitted he won in an interview after the fight when he actually sat down and watched it. here ya go mate! http://www.doghouseboxing.com/UK/Spud012105.htm Thanks, but I'll take his initial reaction that he felt like a beaten fighter. That, and my own view of the fight of course.

He admitted he lost in the post fight interview. I did but I couldn't really understand his answer. Something about Hopkins being a cheating, whiny little bitch I think. yea you couldn't understand. he was talking about joe losing to a 43 year old man and getting dropped in the process.

robin reid watched the fight and said he won. He admitted he lost in the post fight interview. ask enzo calzaghe who won the hopkins fight :chairshot I did but I couldn't really understand his answer. Something about Hopkins being a cheating, whiny little bitch I think.

Ask Robin Reid who won the fight :lol1::lol1::lol1: Mosley got EMBARRASSED by merely good fighters and he's a drugs cheat. There's nothing accomplished about that. I like him though, pretty good, watchable fighter. Ah that proves it for me if Reid says he won the fight then he must have!!! He should have his own page for him to answer all our questions on the meaning of life an shit! ahahahahaha

NEVER LOST A FIGHT, EVER. Not like that stone henge faced bubble head knobber, Moseley. Even i could beat that cnut in a fight. sven ottke is the original UNDEFEATED WARRIOR. calzaghe copied his career plan to a T. bloody wanker.
