..BEST PURE BOXER: Mayweather Or Calderon?...

Juan Manuel MArquez

Is a pure ******.

Mayweather can turn defense into instant offense while ivan is a hit and run fighter so I say it's gotta be moneyman mayweather.

calderon is a boxer. Floyd is a boxer/puncher.

Definitely Calderon. He doesn't have any pop to keep you away but he still manages to avoid getting tagged severly for 36 minutes, it's actually pretty amazing.

All his pop is in his feet. Because He's a Runner not a Boxer.

Anyone that voted Mayweather honestly needs to be shot in the face. Mayweather is a counterpuncher, not a pure boxer.

Anyone that generalizes others need to be smacked in the mouth, asswad.

floyd is still better imo, because he moved up and dominated huge punchers with his boxing ability. calderon imo is 2nd only to floyd, because i have seen many of his fights, he in unquestionably, the best pure boxer next to floyd, he is amazing to watch. the only prblem with him is that he doesn't move up. floyd has dominated his opposition and has a much better defense and this is very important in a contact sport like boxing, the art of hit and don't get hit. that makes a great boxer, but seeing how calderon is fast on his feet and has only six knockouts, he is impressive to the max to watch. floyd though, takes more risks, and p4p, he'd be a favorite in any fight to win, because of his amazing defense, and fluent movement, and add to this, floyd's accuracy is much better than ivan's. compare ivan to floyd at 130. i would love to see this comparison.

Cazares was outweighing Calderon by what? 15 pounds on jr. flyweights?
like 5“ taller? reach I dont know.

That is definitely “moving up”. Calderon wasnt big for 105.

Andre Dirrell is a runner. Calderon is a mover against MUCH bigger guys. BIG difference.

To the original question... What do we mean by pure boxer, someone who moves a lot and throws a lot of straight punches, sets up power shots behind the jab nad so on? Or someone whose success relies on something he learned (skills) as opposed to something he was born with (power, speed, chin...)?
