Who Should Be Remembered As The Greater Fighter, Mosley or Calzaghe?

Wow. Poll is close 18-16 to Mosley at the moment. Get voting!

[wazaa.]

This is the most disgraceful thread I've ever seen.

What did Shane do to you? Date your mum?

Shane Mosley >>>> **** on sidewalk >>>> Joe Calzaghe

I'd like to say Mosley....he's had the better competition, and I think he is the better fighter but he hasn't had the wins on the record. Like Mayweather, I thought he could have done so much more against him...I know, easier said than done...but just, he had the game plan, he just didn't execute it.... Then the Balco thing is a massive doubt. One of his biggest wins was while he was on PEDs, I can't believe it's still a W and not a L or N/C, wtf like?? That taints his career for me. Just like Margarito's career is tainted by his hand wraps, Mosley's should be by his use of PED's.

As for Calzaghe...not the most skilled boxer, but he kept on winning, his opposition wasn't always great, but I do believe he would have excelled if it were. Then the thing is, people will remember Calzaghe for being one of the greatest Super Middleweights ever...since no one really dominated the division...for that he'll probably be remembered more. He is the most memorable Super Middleweight, now there are plenty, before it was just him and he was King.

so calzaghe's greater based on fantasy and could haves? ike ikebuchi is better than foreman, valero is better than duran because they could have been great! it was calzaghe's own fault for fighting crappy opposition. he was too scared to fly to the states and too scared to fight tough challengers until the very end of his career.

Interesting debate. Calzaghe will go down as one of the best Super Middleweights ever, but like Klitschko is going to suffer in perception because of the era he fought in. Not his fault, but still….

I would give Mosely the edge here but the PED issue will be a huge anchor on his legacy, and legitimately so as it likely helped him gain the biggest win in his career. And who is to know when he started taking them?

Too many question marks to rank either of them against each other.

Joe Calzaghe SHOULD be remembered as the greater fighter, but won't be because he's not American and not black.
