    Joe Calzaghe has left his home country at least 15 times: he's fought in the US, Denmark, Germany, Scotland, and many times in England against English fighters. He was robbed by an English judge of a clear deserved UD when he fought Reid.

    "Chicken" Floyd Mayweather would NEVER fight outside the US! He likes to have his safe environment with his home referees like Cortez and his home judges like the ones who gave him the first Castillo fight.

        News flash, Mayweather is already great. You don't just wake up and win 5 titles in 5 different weightclasses.

            He did chicken out, but that's because he knew he would have lost because he has no punching power. Mayweather could have beaten a lot of the guys he ducked.

              Id say both protected their "0" in their own way, both can be crticize in a fair non hating way(just like any boxer), but hate is what theyre getting from this boards lately.imo. Theyre legacy will be less stellar though.....

                Joe for masking his amateur career as a professional one.

                  That said, Mayweather has a much better career imo. leagues better.
