    Calazaghe didnt actually fight better competetion compared with money.

      3 Oscar - OLD, well past prime
      4 Hatton - past his best because he faded in the later rounds (declined after Tszyu) Floyd had referee's help
      5 Genaro Hernadez - had been great in the early 90s, but a shot OLD fighter, his last fight
      6 Zab - very limited fighter
      7 Jesus Chavez - record of 1-13 when he fought Floyd

      8 Carlos Hernadez - good but not an elite fighter
      9 Baldomir - limited and old, not a strong puncher
      10 Gatti - shot OLD fighter
      11 Manfready - good but not world-class level fighter
      12 DeMarcus Corley - decent but not world-class level fighter
      13 Gregario Vargas - limited opponent
      14 Philip N'Dou - very limited opponent
      15 Sharmba Mitchell - Tszyu handled him more easily TWICE, stopped a year younger version of Mitchell in the 3rd
      46. Roy Jones - Shot, Far too old.
      45. Bernard Hopkins - Past Prime, regardless of his win over Pavlik. Most critics believe Hopkins should have won.
      44. Mikkel Kessler - Unproven
      43. Jeff Lacy - Unproven, Vastly inexperienced
      1 - 42. Nobodies

        Calzaghe's fought the worst competition and is the biggest fraud of any fighter on the planet including Butter Bean.

          Calzaghe hasnt fought better fighters.

          Calzaghe doesnt have one attribute of skill that is better then Floyd.

          Calzaghe isnt even a better fighter ATG sense then Mosley, Tito, Winky..etc.


          Please stop with this bullshyt.

            WRONG Jesus Chavez, buddy

            When you criticize a guy's competition, try to get the fighter right. Jesus Chavez was a two time world champion at two different weights who would've been even greater if he didn't take a few years off after the unfortunate death of one of his opponents.

                  i think mayweather and calzage both did nothing in boxing to be be even concidered one of the greats. check out my blog at live4boxinh.blogspot.com. its more to the point. calzage gets no points from me for fighting hopkins(bad fight) wich he nearly lost. and both put him on his ass. but who other than kellser an lacy who is big for nothing and it shows. so for me.... they both suck. could be great but to be the best you must beat the best!!!!

                      I think both fighters were both very skilled boxers who never really challenged themselves against boxers with any equal skill.


                      Way to many B+ wins for two A+ fighters.

                      To be fair they both had one win against an A+ fighter.
