    Not that you're wrong, but funny that a Calzaghe fan should say this..

      actions speak louder than words.......

          none of those guys cleaned out their fourth weight class, which is a minomer since there will alaways be someone to fight. hence when floyd went to 147 the champ was judah, then baldomir, and floyd beat themm both. defended his wbc title against hatton and defeated one of the best 154 fighters in hoya.

          there was no need to legacy wise to continue fighting the cotto's, and margarito's of the world who had not accomplished anything career wise.

          the fact reamins ww is floyd's 4th weight class name one guy in the top 25 that cleaned out their 4th weight class
          Manny Pacquiao cleaned out his 4th weight division. And you cant say Valero or Guzman because they werent even champs until after Pac -Barrera2

              They're absolutely right.

              I'd have to think long and hard if he even makes the top 50

                  Duran and Leonard beat ATGs who were in/close to their primes.

                  And Floyd didn't clean out 135 or 140 either, so I'm not sure why you're only talking about his failure to clean out 147.

                  Hopkins cleaned out 160. Calzaghe cleaned out 168. Roy Jones cleaned out 175. Mayweather did not clean out any division as effectively as that before moving up to as new one.

                    Unless the Calzaghe fan rates him above Floyd, that isn't really relevant...
