    Why the animosity against Undefeated?

    You hate Calzaghe for having wins over ATG Hopkins, ATG Jones

    You hate Floyd for having belts in 5 different weight classes

    You hate Marciano for having wins over 2 top 10 ATGs Joe Louis & Archie Moore.


    I notice that these 3 men get hated more than Ottke, Bradley, and Chris John who never really accomplished anything. Its the guys who actually beat hall of famers and win belts that piss you off.

    Well the first two names you mentioned did make calculated decisions to not fight certain people. Mayweather it was Margarito, Prime Cotto and Pac Man. Calzaghe it was Kelly Pavlik (yes I know Calzaghe beats him) etc.

      Joe get props for me on the BHop fight, but fighting a shot RJJ isn't going to prove much, he should have for him years before.

      Thing with Mayweather is him picking his opponents. He should have fought Marg and Pac by now... and now they're both looking past it.

        I just don't really like mayweather because he's a **** but he can be cool sometimes. Also pretty boring and too overconfident just because he's undefeated he's supposedly unbeatable but doesn't take the more challenging fights. In my opinion

          What about Kessler who is ranked #3 at SMW right now? Joe beat him more convincingly than anyone ever did.

            Yea, I actually like Joe. Imho he has a much more convincing undefeated record than Mayweather. I'm just annoyed that there were standout opposition for Floyd (Pac) and Calzaghe (Jones Jr) and it looks like both times the fights have come far too late. (If Pac and May ever happens that is).

              Undefeated late in your career usually means you avoided people. That's why they get hate. That certainly applies to Calzaghe and Mayweather.

                Ward kicked Kessler's ass much more convincingly than Calzaghe.

                  I don't think its the case with these two because through their prime they have had two obvious superfight match-ups. Calzaghes' came late and it doesn't look like Floyds will happen.

                    Undefeated fighters tend to be cautious cherrypickers, they tend not to travel much either.
