Is this a joke?

This is serious. Joe2608, QuCongee think Calzaghe is better and are entitled to their opinions

Achievements
Mayweather 5 times champion in 5 different weight classes. Calzaghe champion in only two.

That's not fair either cause bigger guys have a harder time moving up. What's Calzaghe supposed to do? Fight Haye and Klitschko?

Yeah, But Joe reigned for 10 straight years, which is why i feel that is a one of the closer ones. But Floyd deffinatly gets it.

PPV has nothing to do with the question that was asked.

He asked those questions, I answered.

PPV has nothing to do with anything.

For once we agree... I have no idea why attractiveness to the fans would make someone a better fighter... other than being able to get a robbery decision here and there.

Mayweather is the better of the two. More technical skill, better resume.

No I said Floyd is obviously a more complete fighter. I voted for Calzaghe because the question is loaded in Floyd's favor.

Honestly, it is so hard to put Joe Calzaghe in a mythical head to head matchup with anyone.

In Calzaghe vs. Hopkins, I originally thought the workrate would win it for Calzaghe, but as the fight drew nearer, I begin to think how much hell the counter right hand would give Calzaghe. I was 100% right about the counter right hand giving Calzaghe hell, but then Calzaghe does what Calzaghe always does:

He adjusted. He changed what he was doing in reaction to the reasons why he was getting beaten to the punch, like he did against Kessler after he had a rough first few rounds (not saying he lost them, but he last rounds went by a lot smoother for Joey Cal than the first few).

It is impossible to imagine how Calzaghe would try to adjust against Mayweather, considering he has never fought anyone like Mayweather.

Also, it is even hard to figure out how Floyd's style would play against Joey Cal, because he has never faced anyone like Calzaghe.

Both Mayweather and Calzaghe are so unique in what they do, they can both be called one-of-a-kind.

So obviously he wins.

didn't Holyfield move up from light heavy? to cruiser, then Heavy and beat Mike Tyson and had 3 wars w/ Bowe?
