Floyd Mayweather= American, Black Joe Calzaghe
Collapse
-
Joe Calzaghe is a perfect parallel to Mayweather. Hopkins and RJJ are both first ballot HOFers. But do you give Joe Calzaghe credit for his wins over them? Nope. Floyd is undefeated you say? So is Joe. Unlike Floyd Joe doesn't have a controversial loss(Castillo). Joe is also 46-0. Floyd's got some catching up to do.
Hopkins and RJJ are the DLH and Mosley of Mayweather's resume. Take those 2 away. Mayweather does not have a single HOFer on his resume that he fought in their weight class.
Boom.
Exposed.
But Floyd is a Black American. That lends him credibility he wouldn't have other wise. His blind bat fans(mostly American) will hold up his skills and even though he's not a dynamic fighter.... he does not have any KO power.... his fights have no replay value.Comment

Dude if you discount jk1700's last post then its clear you do not know enough about boxing to have this discussion.Comment

Hall of famers?
Shane Mosley
Oscar De La Hoya
Genaro Hernandez
Jose Luis Castillo
Diego Corrales
And he fought all of them at their best weight classes, He didnt make them fight at catchweights. All of these fighters were also coming off career defining wins, Not devastating losses like most of Pacquiao's opponents.
He's 1-1 with Castillo. Even at that Castillo is not a lock.
Corrales is not in the HOF. He won't be. He's just a good fighter but not great.
He was Genaro Hernandez's last fight. LOL @ him being prime.
Keep them coming....Comment

LOL @ Gatti
LOL @ Judah
Just because they are known American fighters don't make them actual great fighters. Come back to reality son. 1 guy is an overhyped slugger known for his wars with Mickey Ward and the other dude is just an overhyped never was.
He made Ricky come up in weight. Ricky is not a HOF lock.
He made JMM come up 2 weight classes and he still didn't make weight. On top of JMM being shot already. What would happen if he fought JMM at 135 like Pac did? FMM would be coming out on a stretcher.
DLH and Mosley I already addressed. Mosley is 40 as well. Oscar was already shot to pieces. He went life and death with Steve Forbes.
The only thing the Mosley fight proved to me was if Shane had been in his prime, he would've finished Floyd in the 2nd.
DLH would've decisioned floyd. Even a shell of his former self took him to a split decision.Last edited by Rassclot; 07-14-2010, 09:27 AM.Comment
