Joe Calzaghe's 46-0 vs Floyd Mayweather's 50-0

Can’t believe there is even a debate in here. On a boxing forum. Jesus.

Calzaghe had a weak heart until he discovered confidence after beating Jeff Lacy. He was so used to fighting Cardiff's taxi drivers in sports centres for so long that when the big opportunity came up to fight Lacy, Calzaghe wanted to pull out because the occasion almost got to him. His dad, Enzo, slapped him and told him a chance like this would never come around again so he'd better take it.

Ummm, I'm confused

How much credit would Floyd have gotten for beating Dorin at 135 for the WBA strap? Let me guess: "Dorin was a bum! Floyd shouldn't have fought him!"

Sorry you've completely lost me with all of that no worries, respect to joe, he makes us proud ot be brit, good to see more than one made their mark in SMW. this is really about comparing joe with sven his real rival, mays 3 leagues above. I'll start a thread on it as this one is making joe look like a joke, I dont appreciate people making our brits look like clowns.

The hateboner some people still have for Floyd is ridiculous. It's a joke, isn't it? The guy was a master, my favourite ever. But Joe Calzaghe, that guy was one-off special

shouldnt have been facing them in the first place with the exception of reid. you do get that comparing his work with the work of the a dodger like sven just makes joe look bad? but you are not far wrong, sven was the kind to compare to joe for sure, hes that level. Sorry you've completely lost me with all of that

Ottke would've leave Germany and got GIFTS against Brewer, Mitchell, Starie and Reid Joe smoked them all shouldnt have been facing them in the first place with the exception of reid. you do get that comparing his work with the work of the a dodger like sven just makes joe look bad? but you are not far wrong, sven was the kind to compare to joe for sure, hes that level.

u are seeing it upside down, it was calzaghe who waited for a shyt titlist like lacy to come along, so that he would finally raise his game to title level at age of 34. he waited in order to keep out of the way of actually challenging titlists. lacys middling, he got beat up by a shot roy jones. One of the least valid titlists in SMW history. Ottke would've leave Germany and got GIFTS against Brewer, Mitchell, Starie and Reid Joe smoked them all

You havent watch Floyds early fights then, go and watch Gatti. Lacy was a over rated B grade fighter lol. That's a late fight. Floyd's early fights were Genaro, Pep, Manfredy etc

Gatti was better than Lacy could ever dream to be, Gatti is a HOF fighter and had been in many great fights, Lacy never beat a top fighter he was pure hype, I feel like youre a Brit and got swept away with all the hype the UK would have been bathed in, reality is Lacy was a Omar Sheika level guy. Dude the hype for Lacy was from Yanks - he was supposed to be better than Tyson!? If he was predicted to easily destroy a phenomenal fighter like Calzaghe who was 40-0 or something with 20 defenses or so then he must've been a bit special? I never saw him personally so was amazed that he couldn't even get shots off it seemed

Money may is greater than calzaghe and i would say that menayothin is higher than calzaghe atg but they are all behind money may.

Gatti was shot to bits and extremely limited to begin with. Lacy was supposed to be bigger and better than even Mayweather with the hype, he can't overnight turn from invisible destroyer to B grade u are seeing it upside down, it was calzaghe who waited for a shyt titlist like lacy to come along, so that he would finally raise his game to title level at age of 34. he waited in order to keep out of the way of actually challenging titlists. lacys middling, he got beat up by a shot roy jones.

Floyd fought and beat a world champion in his 18th pro fight. Calzaghe was fighting the likes of Warren Stowe in his 18th pro fight.

Pacquaio was #1. Hopkins was not. That’s a lie to say he was when he fought Calzaghe. Floyd beat plethora of P4P ranked opponents. Floyd beat 7 P4P ranked fighters. That’s over double the amount of fighter ranked in Top 5 of the division being fought in that Cazlaghe beat. To even compare them is ******ed. Which doesn’t surprise me coming from you. - -Manny set all the unbreakable Ring p4p records, not JoyBoy. SuperJoe never went squallin' fer his daddy like JoyBoy did. That shame ain't ever washing off.

Watching Calzaghe vs Lacy again, I never saw anything like that from Floyd! You havent watch Floyds early fights then, go and watch Gatti. Lacy was a over rated B grade fighter lol.
