Im a Calzaghe fan and hold my hands up that he has fought Mario Veit too many times as well as a bunch of other no namers. But then again, he has had decent fights too. He has skills and to be fair has tried to make big fights on occasion but they have fallen through because of Hopkins greed and because Calzaghe always busts his hand when making a fight with Glenn Johnson. More big fights should have been made by now though. He has the tools to beat the best.

As for Mayweather. Yes, he has beaten a lot of decent fighters. Fewer so in recent years. Gatti and Baldomir spring readily to mind. Yes, Hatton gets flack for fighting paper champs too these days! Like Calzaghe he has tremendous skills but seems to have skimmed through divisions recently without ever really leaving his impact. Im impressed he is fighting Oscar. But I do think Oscar is almost mummified and will get shown up somewhat.

Both are very skilled fighters, both could have done a bit more than they have in recent years, Calzaghe moreso...
Well I compare because Joe is gonna be 36 next month and is almost done with his career and the book is pretty much been written for his career

Floyd is gonna be 30 in a few days and is hitting stride for his prime and has already done more and has fought the better competition..
