Who has fought better opposition, Floyd or Calzaghe?

Without a doubt Floyd... **** Calzaghe

[Guest]

If I knew the caliber of boxers Calzaghe has fought I can make a decision, but most of his fights were in the U.K.

So you can't you do research? This is the internet.

I'd probally have to go with Floyd.

This is the problem with this site - people thinking they've got a right to answer questions and post in threads without ever researching anything. "Well I don't know jack ****, I've only ever seen three fights in all, but here's my opinion anyway...."




I voted Floyd, incidentally.

I picked Joe because Joe tried to fight everyone who was out there and it isnt his fault if he exposed and ruined some fighters or if the guys he beat were bigger in Europe than in the U.S. Joe took on Lacy when no one else would have wanted to touch him. What glory was their in beating Reid. Reid is one of the toughest fighters to beat out there. Eubank was only 31 when they fought, hardly over the hill. Yes I know his head wasnt all there, but Joe worked him. Kessler has a chance to do more post Joe than any fighter post mayweather has done. BHop and Jones, yes its Joe's fault for not fighting them sooner, because both have such an impressive resume of taking on British fighters. I love both of their wins over Benn, Eubank, and Collins...Joe has to give them a reason to fight him, unlike Joe who would just take on Jeff Lacy; knowing if he lost he was a fraud, and if he won Lacy was a fraud. He made Hopkins cheat to try to win and he still couldnt win. He destroyed Roy Jones Jr.s legacy and embarrassed him in the ring. What kind of man lets a guy dance in front of them with their hands down taunting him...Calzaghe castrated Jones Jr. that night and I no longer see him as a man. Joe danced and taunted and Jones hid behind his gloves crying tears of blood. I like PBF and think its close and mostly chose Joe because few else would and I think its more even than anything. You can make arguments for each.

Floyd's resume got increasingly worse through the years whereas Joe's got increasingly better. Floyd certainly has more "names" on his, whereas Joe probably has the best name in Hopkins.

There were leagues between Eubank and Robin Reid!

Prime Reid was a tough, tough guy. He had a great amateur pedigree, good technique, a rock solid chin and plenty of guts. He gave Calzaghe all kinds of problems, just as he would have troubled Eubank or Benn.

In the end he was a hair's breadth away from being a top name. The Ottke robbery kind of took something out of him. Had he been given the win I'm sure the extra boost of confidence would have seen him achieve greater things.

Cazaghe fought the best opposition,Just because people dont know a lot of them just shows ignorance.

Corrales is a better win than Bernard Hopkins?

[IMDAZED]

Corrales is a better win than Bernard Hopkins?

In name, no. But given Hopkins' age, the closeness of the bout and then compared to Corrales, who was in his prime and ranked higher than Floyd p4p PLUS got his a** beat from pillar to post...yes.
