I feel Calzaghe is edging it at the moment. If mayweather faces and beats cotto he will get it.
Which fighter has the better Resume/Legacy between Mayweather and Calzaghe?

Don't make me laugh, please. Mayweather's record is by far superior to Calzagh's and you are in no position to be criticizing resumes. Could Kessler, Lacy and Hopkins(who was far past his prime and age 43) even hold a candle to Corrales(Hall of famer and unbeaten at the time 33-0) Hatton( Junior welterweight champion that was unbeaten 43-0) Boldimir(Undisputed welterweight champion at the time that had wins over Judah, Gatti and Clottey) Hernandez( Mayweather only had about 17 wins at the time and dominated Genaro and stopped him in the mid rounds. Hernandez has a win over Azuma Nelson. Mayweather stopped all of these guys. I could name a lot more but I'll stop it here to ease off of the punishment. These three fighters are all better than anyone that Calzaghe has fought. I like Calzaghe and I'm a fan of both of these fighters, but lets be serious.
The best fighters that Calzaghe defended against was Kessler and Lacy, neither was pound for pound quality fighters. Mayweather has beaten a few of pound for pound fighters and have looked better than Calzaghe while beating the better opposition. Hes a 5 division world champion and number one pound for pound. There is your answer. This is one of the most easiest, silliest and most obvious questions that was ever asked. I get frustrated at these type of threads.Last edited by slicksouthpaw16; 05-09-2008, 09:45 AM.Comment

lol.. the stats go straight to floyd...I think this is close than what many might think. Calzaghe has defended his 168 lb title 21 times and is a 2 division champ with wins over Lacy, Hopkins, Eubank, Kessler, Veit and Sheikha.
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.
LMAO@ how you said closer than many may think and then gave those sorta lopsided stats.Comment
