If Floyd Mayweather and Joe Calzaghe were in the same weight class who do you think would win?
i think if these two fighters were in the same weight division one would obviously move up or down to avoid each other. these two fighters would avoid each other by any cost. calzaghe is a skill boxer and I take nothing away from him. but he has showed me that he has boxing skills and speed and power. I would never pick one of these fighters to dominate the other but the odds would be in favor of mayweather going into the fight.
___________
mayweather...floyd is much more skillful and experienced and he has a much stronger chin.
___________
Floyd wins with a check-hook TKO.

If you mean same weight as in both naturally the same weight ie no moving up/down to meet i think it would be a very close fight, i actually couldn't pick a winner. They are both so good at what they do. Calzaghe decent defence and great handspeed and workrate. Mayweather defence master and very accurate. They also both know the ring like the back of their hands, it would be nice to see how their styles differ in this respect. The recipe is there if you want to see all the positive attributes of the sport of boxing. Two ring technicians going at it. I think the result would be a Split/ or very close unanimous decision in favour of either fighter.
If you mean same weightclass after joe moving down and Floyd moving up to a comprimise at say Middleweight. Joe would be too strong for Floyd, like Floyd was too strong for Hatton.

I hate to say this., but pbf should rule that bout. Yes JC is an animal but this point in floyd's career, he seems to be invincible. I hate mayweather but it is a fact, he is the king of lb4lb right now and the moneymaker in this sport.

I think Floyd has proved that he is a special fighter and he would rule any division in the sport. If Floyd was a heavyweight, he would be the most famous athlete in the world.

Its still very hard to imagine because Joe is still SO much taller than Floyd... all things being equal except height I think you have to give it to Calzaghe. I think floyd is just too short. And Calzaghe is skilled enough to take advantage of the height.

Wow.... Calzaghe and Mayweather at the same weight with no ill-effects!? Hmmm..... that's a really tough call. I actually think each man's strengths and weakness would be countered by each other's own strenght and weakness. It would make for one hell of a fight. Maybe...... just maybe I would go with Mayweather, but I'm not too confident in that pick.

I think I'd go with Floyd. I'd rather see Pacquiao vs Calzaghe in a head to head P4P matchup. That would be exciting. I'd take Joe in that one though.
I think though, that I would be more willing to take a prime Floyd, the way he fought at 130, over Calzaghe nowadays. I think the Floyd of today may be outworked a bit much, but he could also land the cleaner shots. Close call nowadays.
