Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
"Fight with Hatton won't do nothing for my legacy. My legacy is already solidified, it's already stamped. I'm fighting because I'm a businessman. The price is right, so let's make it happen," Mayweather said. "Before I leave I want to beat the best British fighter out there, or one of them. Calzaghe's the best British fighter - probably one of the best I've ever seen."
To me calzaghe is already one of the best fighters of this era homecourt or no homecourt advantage staying undefeated for over 10 years and fighting all the available fighters in his division can only be achieved by an extraordinary fighter.

Joe is a great fighter, is one of the most talented fighters of this era no doubt. But he has not fought all the available competition really. I mean it may not have been his fault but there were and are a lot of guys out there who he has not fought.
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
He meant one of the best British fighters he's ever seen
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
Nium is right, Floyd clearly meant in terms of British fighters.
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"

Well i had to say i gave Hatton no chance ,but if Floyds vision is that bad Hatton really is in with a shout lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

OTTKE bottled out boxing him. that said beating a bum like ottke wouldnt have proved nothing.

Joe is in the twilight of his career.
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
Listen Up, Kids....
Calzaghe may not have lived up to his potential but he IS an all time great British fighter and could well have been an all time great in another era.....
He is the only man since WWII to have won THREE ABA Titles in THREE Weights in THREE Years which is an incredible achievement. He's also undefeated in over 20 years of fighting and 14 years of pro fighting.
Calzaghe deserves EVERYONES respect. I don't care where you're from....

Doesn't matter.
While Joe was in the twilight of his career...he took out one of the most promising contenders of 168lbs...the same one that everyone called an overratted one trick pony afterwards.
As much as I like Kessler...Joe will do the same thing come November the 3rd, 2007...it's a crying shame that people can be so gotdam blind.
Win, lose, or draw...Joe has cemented his name as one of the greatest at 168lbs.
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
I'm rooting for joe, I think it will be a lacy like fight
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
Good to hear Floyd compliment another fighter for a change but I can t help but think it was taking an indirect shot at Ricky by saying Joe the best British fighter .
Im certain Floyd isnt serious about a Joe fight . If he is I cant see anyway he wins.
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
I like how when Lacy was challenging joe, everyone said he was gonna wup him - then when he lost everyone sais he was overrated. Now everyone says kessler is gonna beat joe - are they gonna say the same thing about him when joe sends him to the floor?? ???
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
lets remember one thing, as good as mayweather may be he knows nothing about rating other fighters
his supposed future hall of famer got DOMINATED by my man edner cherry
Re: Floyd - "calzaghe is one of the best boxers I have ever seen"
Joe is the best british boxer of all time, his career as a champion proves that. Hope he continues this with afew more super fights
