    Is it just human nature to be harsh on fighters with perfect records?

    Edwin Valero?

    Joe Calzaghe?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr?

    Shouldn't these guys accomplishments be celebrated, instead of scrutinized? Is being a world/multi-world champ and being undefeated not enough to be considered great anymore?

    Anyone can go undefeated by fighting bums, just look at Calzaghe

        no
        just like with titles, it's who you beat
        the man makes the belt
        the opponents make the record
        belts are just belts and #s are just #s

          If May beats Shane and Pac. He can retire undefeated with no hate.

            with calzaghe and mayweather i see your point,as they have beaten everyone in front of them,including a whole host of world champs and top fighters

            the verdict is still out on valero though,he hasnt fought a world class fighter yet,so all we really know is that he has power

              Do not compare Mayweather and Calzaghe. Like someone else said if Floyd beats Mosley and Pac he retires with no hate, and goes down as an atg.

                Calzaghe should have just stayed at 168 and made Abraham and Pavlik come up in weight and fight him. That would have really put the cherry on the top for his career.
