Floyd never really fought anyone near their best post-Corrales, apart from maybe Cotto.
Calzaghe's adaption vs unbeaten Kessler (no blueprint) to unify all four titles and win over lb4lb #1 Hopkins (Floyd was retired) for Ring belt at weight above and the performance against Lacy (winning every second of every round almost) ***** any of Mayweather's adaptations, wins or performances ever. He also had 20 title defenses against all styles and dominated fighters of superman stature in Eubank Sr and Jones Jr (not saying they were at their best, but of their stature!).
So it's Calzaghe for me. He proved he could get off the floor to win too, win with literally one hand, all sorts.
