    Like comparing a eurochamp who was around for years fighting nobodies with a bonafide world title holder who was a bit of a cherrypicker.

    I don't think its Dirks fault that such a ****** poll was started.
    I think you must have confused Calzaghe with Sven Ottke.

          Something that would count in Floyd's favour is the amount of past/present/future champions he beat. I think there's almost 20 of them. it's pretty decent. Of course, that would also be easier when jumping from weightclass to weightclass.

          One thing that counts in Calzaghe's favour is his two wins that are (imo) better than most things Floyd has on his resume. Kessler and Hopkins.

              Calzaghe. At least he looks for the fight...in the ring. The other tries to avoid the fight...in and out of the ring.

                I voted for Mayweather and I don't think it is close at all. I don't like Mayweather but he is a great fighter. Calzaghe has a great record and is also a great fighter but he comes up way short when compared with Mayweather in my opinion.

                    Mayweather...its pretty simple. He accomplished more and has a deeper resume of opponents his beat. Also he simply he a more skillful and a better fighter all around.

                      I agree for the most part. but what is Mayweather's best win?
