    Who deserves more criticism Calzaghe or Mayweather

    Who deserves more criticism Calzaghe or Mayweather? Poll on the way.

    Mayweather imo. He was the flag bearer for the sport, and he did nothing but hide from his biggest challenges. He even retired in his prime.

            Both achieved a lot and neither deserve criticism. I can't see why a fighter can be criticized for moving up in weight five times and winning six world titles Super Featherweight - Light Middleweight. I also can't see how Calzaghe can be criticized after what he has achieved.

              Floyd, because he was at his peak at age 30.

              Joe was past prime at age 37, he had repeated hand injuries for 7 years. He'd been fighting as a pro since the early 90s, and had been a world champion since 1998. He was getting cut and knocked down in fights, that never happened until he was well into his 30s. He had proven himself many times over, there was nothing else he needed to do.

                That actually does stack up, because although Mayweather also had hand problems etc, he was as you say in his prime. Where as Calzaghe probably wasn't.

                    Even tho i think FLoyd is overrated by his fans, he isn't nowhere near the overration of Calzaghe.

                    Floyd was the Man at 135, and fought the best at that weight. Calzaghe at 168 ducked Glen Johnson.
                    Calzaghe's best win is over Kessler. Kessler is ****. His second best win is Lacy, Lacy is ****. Both are C+ fighters at best. His win over Hopkins was **** because Hopkins made him look bad, and now wont give him a rematch after he fought a Shot RJJ. He is such a ***** for going out fighting Roy.
