    calzaghe & de la hoya, who had the better career?

    two recently retired HOF...

    one retired undefeated... the other one retired as the lone holder of titles in 6 different weights & one of the biggest moneymakers in the history of this sport...

    who has had the better career in terms of accomplishments? the greater resume?

            De La Hoya.......... Cannot compare Oscar's career to Calzaghe. Not at all.

                comparing the two is insane, calzaghe comes no where near oscar tbh.

                    De La Hoya. 10 world championships in 6 different weight division. It's a good debate though. It all depends on what you like. If you like stiff comp and a lot of risks, De La Hoya clearly. If you like title defences and an unblemished record, Calzaghe's your guy.
