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

[daggum]

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

great argument. i never thought that you would bring up race. it's almost as good as mosley's opponents had to fly to the usa and were tired during the fight.

calzaghe of course,shane is a two faced fraud..calzaghe stopped when he fought it was time to quit but mosley kept going even tho he knew he had nothing left..he kept boxing because he wanted to cash in not thinking about people who payed to watch him fight he basically screwed over his own fans and his last fight showed us how cowardly and selfish he is.Calzaghe is a true champ who should be remembered for his wars.

Mosley does have the whole balco thing against him and was dominated in all his losses cotto exception and his WW -JRMW resume isn't great so does he get credit for fighting the best and losing his were Calslappy doesn't have as many names but beat everybody so is less better in this case?
I guess you'd look at who beats who head to head ever so slight lean towards slappy

I hate these types of posts, it shows lack of insight and depth....for example:

Roy Jones is on Tarver's resume AND joCal's resume, but when you type out these types of short sighted posts, there's no differentiation. Just as im0protant as the name, or even more important than the name is when the fight happened and what were the circumstances regarding the fight.

the sad thing about that is that he drew well over 80k i think for that fight. absolutely pathetic at the end of the day, de la hoya was p4p, margarito was p4p, vargas=/=lacy, leija and mayorga arent any worse than bika and reid to me.

the fact is, mosley had an incredible run at lightweight, which to me, is just as good as calzhages run at super middle. the difference is, mosley didint wait until the end to take on worthy challangers.

either way daggum is right. it has nothing to do with being black.

for a "student of the game" you fail son!

Its the same way I felt when the fights happened. The fights werent that good and get extremely overrated. DLH himself is overrated. I see people on here posting gifs of Zags throwing combos that yes look strange but were effective. If you watch a whole fight of Calzaghe's then you can respect him more. I dont know how to make gifs but I do remember Mosley throwing combos in the DLH fight that resembled my aunt fighting off a yellow jacket. The difference to me is that Mosley has been dominated before and Im not just talking about his last two or three fights. Zags has never been dominated. I had BHop winning but the fight wasnt a robbery. In hindsight that performance gets a boost due to Hopkin's success that followed. The boy can fight.

How can you give an unemotional factual point of view when you've dedicated your sig to hating on the man? If you dont think Zags was exceptional then show me the fighter that he beat that feels the same way. He may not have the style you prefer but whatever aint broke dont need fixin.
