    Calzaghe is currently the true linear and Ring Champion in two divisions at the same time, something Mayweather has never achieved.

    Calzaghe fought the best at 168 - Mayweather avoids the best at 147.

    Now Parody will declare a jihad against me again, because I don't agree with his unrealistic, nuthugging view of Floyd. He thinks Floyd is a superman: invincible and perfect!

    you actually made some VERY VALID points..

            While Mayweather has defended his 130 lb title 9 times and is a 5 division champ at 130, 135, 140, 147 and 154 with wins over Corrales, Castillo, Hatton, Judah, De La Hoya and Hernandez.

            Calzaghe has beaten 8 former world champions while Mayweather has beaten 14 former world champions.

            Calzaghe has been in the P4P List for almost an year while Floyd has been in the P4P List since 2000 (8 Years) and #1 since 2005 (3 years).

            Both have been world champions for 10 years and both are good fighters.
            COTTO EASY !!

                  It's about the same... The P4P thing is irrelavent.. Since it's mainly an American list...
                  I still might give a slight edge to Mayweather in over all comptetition..

                    I guess you haven't looked at Hopkins' resume.
