Whats the difference between Calzaghe and Mayweather?

**THE REED** · 04-13-2008, 03:03 AM

The biggest difference is Floyd started his career 17 pounds below where he fights now.

Matter of fact Floyd started his career 10 pounds below where Ricky started.

Floyd fighting smaller fighters is not only reasonable, considering hes the smallest welterweight out there, its completely nullified by him fighting Oscar, a much naturally bigger fighter..

Ricky was a top p4p fighter... and Floyd knocked him out... which... by my calculations... is what fans want to see...

In my opinion Margarito is more bigger than Zab Judah, than Floyd is Ricky.... and Margarito and Judah are in the same weightclass.

Glad to see you agree with yourself in the poll though

Criticizing Floyd is one thing, but why do people act like Mayweather-Cotto would have happened if Floyd did want Cotto rather than a DLH rematch?

It doesn't take a lot of inside information to see that Cotto-DLH would be much more likely to happen than Mayweather-Cotto.

Calzaghe beat the best fighters at super middle weight, while Mayweather has not fought the best competition at the weight class he currently is in. Instead he fights little men like Hatton instead of warriors like Cotto*he looked amazing even though gomez was clearly out matched*, but his boxing skills looked amazing tonight. And Floyd doesn't give his fans or other fans the fights what the fans want to see. While Calzaghe gives his fans the fights they want to see.

Mayweathers p4p number 1 should be taken from him, for ducking cotto for this long. It's like as if Mayweather is taken the time to decode cotto so much that he wants to find a flaw in cotto that he can take advantage of.

The people ask for Manny to fight certain fighters like Marquez, and Manny gave the fans what they wanted. Calzaghe fights Lacy, kessler, what the fans asked for they got.

Styles make fights, so Floyd would rather Cotto and Margarito to beat the piss out of each other before taking a shot at him. So he can duck one of them who ever loses doesn't get a shot at floyd even though we all know styles make fights.

****ing Cotto could lose to Margarito but completely destroy Mayweather. Styles make fights, and hate this crap when certain fights don't happen. Margarito/floyd was suppose to happen a long time ago and Cotto/Floyd was too... hahaha, Floyd is smart money wise. He'll be undefeated because he knows how to work this game. Lets beat smaller fighters like Hatton and I'm an all p4p great even though hatton has lost before and it just didn't say it on his resume. Just like Dawson lost tonight but it didn't say it on his resume.

good post i completely agree!

That weight excuse is bs, if he can't fight ppl in the weight class he is in right now. Then go back to the midget weight classes, stop being allowed to duck margarito and cotto. Its a joke, who ever wins the cotto/margarito fight could possibly lose to floyd. But the loser of that fight could also be the one to beat floyd, styles make fights. And I hate how when someone loses, they automatically get kicked away from a shot at floyd.

I don't understand how he is allowed to duck ppl, and then make excuses that he used to fight in a midget weight class and thats his excuse.

nobody ever gets a shot at floyd
floyd fight who he wants no matter how ****** the match is
first the big show now oscar 2 and hatton 2 is about to come

I hope the Fishnet loses his next fight, and Hatton does too.

Then we'd be less likely to see these unnecessary rematches, the most unnecessary rematches since De La Hoya-Chavez 2.

That hatton fight is the biggest joke out of them all, even bigger then the one against big show. Hatton got destroyed in that fight, there is no reason why that fight should happen. And why isn't Cotto or Margarito Floyd's mandatory? Why does Floyd get special treatment?

Because they are all champs in different organizations.

berto is actually floyd mandatory for his wbc belt
but all the wbc can do is strip floyd of his title and they dont want that cuz floyd pays them whenever he defends the wbc title
so yeah the wbc puts no pressure at all on mayweather to make mandatories
only thing floyd has going for him is that ring magazine p4p champ
i wonder how long will the ring magazine allows floyd to do whatever he wants before they degrade him to number two

Whats the difference between Calzaghe and Mayweather?
