    Please... "peeleft:"peeleft:
    1)Judah and Baldomir were the top two fighters in the division at the time Floyd took them out. 2) Dont even mentioned Joshua Clottey and Floyd in the same sentence, we both know you wouldnt bet a cheese sandwich on Clottey beating him ever 3) Hatton was a P4P fighter and is the RING Linear Champion at JWW.

      Judah and Baldomir are garbage, everyone knows that. Clottey is better than anyone Floyd has faced at Welterweight, including Oscar at 154.

      Hatton isn't P4P ranked anymore.. is he?

        Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr says it all. Calzaghe by far.

          The truth is that Mayweather does, but not by too much. Anyone who says otherwise is simply biased one way or the other.

              It would appear that Calzaghe fans are more realistic than you think.

              Maybe a few more of you Hopkins fans should take note and admit that Hopkins was beat fair and square by Joe.

                It's close but i give the edge to Joe.

                Mayweather has no one on his resume as good as Hopkins.

                  I dont know. I think that their records are very comparable. Lots of defences, lots of solid contenders. A couple of old legends (Hopkins or ODH). A split decision (Hopkins or ODH). A contested decision (Reid or Castillo). A few very strong up-and-comers in their prime (Kessler or Hatton for example). Ultimately retiring undefeated without ever having taken much damage. Mayweather was more skilled, Calzaghe braver and more exciting. Its all pretty close. Mayweather wins on his accomplishments moving through the divisions. But like I said, its not by too much.

                    I dont like Mayweather that much but he clearly has a way better resume than Calzaghe, from start to finish, he beat Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Carlos Genera, Diego Corrales, Jesus Chavez, Jose Luis Castillo, a prime Demarcus Corley, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, Sharmba Mitchell, De La Hoya, o yea and one more for the brits, a PRIME 43-0 Ricky Hatton, he KO'd Hatton in what had to be the one of the funniest KO's of all time, and Hatton wasn't an up and comer, he was a 2time champ already when Mayweather humiliated him

                      Mayweather but not by much. I give calzaghe credit for , Eubank,Bika,Manfredo, Lacy,Hopkins and Jones. And I give credit to Mayweather for,Hernandez, Corrales,Chavez,Judah, DLH and Hatton. They both have 6 credible opponents, but I think Floyds opponents where slightly better.
