    Floyd's got 5 titles in 5 weightclasses with wins over B- and lower competition in my opinion. Calzaghe beat Kessler,a washed up RJJ and a past prime B-Hop as of late. Calzaghe has all those defenses against weak opposition IMO. Neither guy has fought the greatest competition but I think Floyd has the edge. Idk if Joe's a legend or whateva in Wales but he aint one here.

      Floyd's wins over Corrales and Castillo seal the deal.

      Beating Corrales - an undefeated, top five pound for pound fellow champ - is bigger and better than anything Calzaghe's done. Especially since the closest Cal came to that (Hopkins) was a controversial affair while Floyd's was a one-sided one.

              Floyd easily, Joe is a top fighter but the guys lucky he nevr had to face any True ATG's and dont give me the fossil brigade that is Hopkins and Jones!

              Floyd wouldnt even beat everybody in his weight class if u still view him as an active WW Fighter but his skills are there for all to see and he was a stellar lighter weight fighter

                In his time Floyd was ranked higher (p4p) but it seems like many of his biggest victories may have been slightly 'overrated'. He still has a chance to make a comeback however and cement his legacy with a win over Pacquiao for example.
                floyd's biggest victories might be slightly overrated, but all of joe's biggest victories are jokes.

                joe barely escaped a 43 yr old hopkins and is scared stiff of a rematch, he failed to ktfo a shot rjj, and he got knocked down by both guys who were way past their primes.

                the one opponent who might actually be worth something (kessler) is hiding in europe fighting bums.

                floyd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> calz.
