Calzaghe has Done More for the Sport of Boxing than Mayweather

[Dan...]

All I can say is I have rewatched several of Floyd's fights and I can't even be bothered to watch most of Joe's once. Floyd has faced easily the higher level of opposition and been in the more exciting fights in addition to raising the profile of the sport a great deal more than Joe has. So yeah, it is no comparison, IMO at least.

For anyone to say YES of NO would have to live in both the U.K. and U.S. for at least the last 4 years. Mayweather is huge here, but also hugely hated. I kind of get the feeling that Calzaghe is the same for the U.K. Many U.K. fans adore him, but we've all seen that he has his fair share of critics in the U.K. as well.

Calzaghe has a pretty solid following in the U.S., so what I'd like to know is how much of a following Mayweather has in the U.K. Any Brits out there feel free to chime in.

Does he?

Can you please say who this/these crtic(s) are?

I can't imagine you didn't let your wrist go limp when you said "Um excuse me".

So you are one of those really intelligent people who blame that entire fight on Hopkins? The Calzaghe slap & flail really did it for you did it?

You know what Mayweather did against De La Hoya that Calzaghe didn't do against Hopkins? Land a punch that did some damage.

Thanks for playing.

I guess you are giving credit to Floyd who landed punches on Dela but not Joe who , may not have landed as clean, but did land on Hopkins?

are you in any way comparing De la Hoya and Hopkins defenses ? lol

Hopkins one of the ATG who has one of the best defenses in the game if not the best...lol

Yes, I blame that ENTIRE fight on Hopkins.. he cliched 1,000 times unlike Jones or Lacey

Really? When did Calzaghe beat Pavlik?

Hatton spanking the yanks? He must have missed the Mayweather fight.

His predictions are opinions, that you clowns slup up like it's the word of God.

actually calzaghe replied that pavlik was overhyped when a possibility of a fight between them came up, he was right in not taking the fight and wasting his time fighting a hype job
and calzaghe said they would spank the yanks before the rjj fight when hatton wasfacing malignaggi
im sure he knew just like everyone else that 147 is a terrible weight for hatton
seriously get your facts straight u sound very ignorant

Easy to beat Paulie when the #1 fighter ****s your face off the ring post.

I don't like either guy, but I ain't sure about this.

Thats a ridiculous thing to ask of me. I've heard several statemenst to the tune of "I'm from the U.K. and I don't even like Joe" Usually from a die-hard Hatton fan. You'll have to forgive me if I didn't pencil down the screen names of his U.K. critics. And even if I did... what are you planning, to hunt them down just because they don't necessarily like Calzaghe?

I sound very ignorant? You're jerking off Calzaghe for saying he'd beat RJJ, and Hatton would beat Malignaggi. LOL. He's really going out on a limb there. Saying that 2 HUGE favorites would beat two heavy underdogs! WOW! Mrs. ****ing Cleo! You're a joke.

Again, when did Calzaghe beat Pavlik?

LOL talking about Floyd fighting a shot Oscar...

Coming from the dude who praises Joe Calzaghe who just fought a SHOT Roy
