    Better (or worse) resume - Mayweather or Calzaghe?

    Both guys are constantly talked up here as cherry pickers and duckers, so - at this point when both hold 46-0, who's resume is better - or worse?

    Let's take a brief comparative look, lists may differ but generally these are both guy's top 5 wins:

    Floyd Mayweather - 46-0 (26KO)

    Top 5 wins?
    De La Hoya - Past Prime
    Canelo - Weight drained
    Cotto
    Corrales
    Hatton


    Joe Calzaghe - 46-0 (32KO)

    Top 5 wins?
    Jones Jr - Past Prime
    Hopkins - Past Prime
    Kessler
    Lacy
    Eubank

    Vote in the poll and discuss - for some the answer may seem obvious but let's just take a look at how much hate either of these guys will get the most

      Slapsie's resume is a little underrated, but he's still got one of the biggest gulfs between talent and opposition going.

          Pretty much the point I am trying to make with this thread - although I was personally expecting more people to vote for 'they both ducked their biggest challenges in their prime' option!
