Im asking, who would win if they were the same size with their original skills?
Calzaghes workrate or Mayweathers masterfull defence?
i started this thread in the History fourm by mistake, so please vote and tell me how the fight would have looked like.
Maywetaher would KO Calzaghe in my opinion. I think Mayweather would land clean shots on Calzaghe and he has shown signs of a weak chin.
what signs?
hasnt he only hit the floor like.. 5 times during his 46 fight long career?
Note: im not a Calzaghe or a Mayweather fan. the whole thread is all for boxing talk.
Mayweather UD 8-4...

I think it's a toss up really when you take size out of the equation. I know that is like heresy to many but Calzaghe was a very gifted fighter.
Calzaghe had underrated adapting abilities, which Andre Ward also has a good amount of. Calzaghes weakness was against fighters who were allowed to fight very dirty and get away with it. Look at how many times Joe Cortez let BHOP excessively clinch in there fight and headbutt Calzaghe! There's a gif image online where Joe Cortez sees Hopkins deliberately headbutt Calzaghe and Cortez does nothing about it!
hmmm i was thinking is it possible to dodge over 1000 punches coming from every angle for 12 rounds, then i remmebered hopkins did a pretty good job, and Floyd is faster p4p than Hopkins is and has better stamina so will be able to take advantage even in the later rounds.
Floyd UD, even though they both use 2 different methods for defence.
Mayweather offers more in the way of offense also (in comparison to that particular version of Hopkins).
I'm a Calzaghe fan myself but Mayweather is a good tier above him.

You forgot to mention Hopkins is a known cheater who excessively clinches against fighters who have faster hand-speed then him. He is also known for his third punch with his head. ****er cheated against Roy, Calzaghe, and Wright. He should have been dq'd in all 3 fights for that cheating shit. This is called boxing not MMA fighting! How come when you Americans say Hatton is a cheater for excessively clinching its okay for BHOP to do that same kind of bullshit fighting? Why don't these shitty clinchers go join MMA, they suck!
for the record im not a yank, im a calzaghe fan and i dont like hopkins.
Hopkins used his head a lot, and its a big reason why i didnt like him, but he got away with it (all those refs couldnt have been blind, he was good at disguising it), much like Floyd does with his elbows when uder pressure.
