Over the past year I have been convinced that Calzaghe has more than the goods and has worldclass talent, but you cant make a living out of one fight and forge a legacy, I am disappointed that he is trying to pull the wool over our eyes with fighting Peter Manfredo Jr and lead us to believe this is a legitimate and credible fight,and this is the one and only golden opportunity for him to get the millions of dollars and recognition in the states, when this is just an easy way for him to get his 20 defenses

Now whats fair is fair... Floyd Mayweather Jr get lambasted by the majority around here for his level of competition throughout his career, well I got news for you Floyd has fought WAY BETTER AND CREDIBLE OPPOSITION than Joe Calzaghe!!!! But Joe is lauded as a national treasure and Floyd is a coward,slacker and a sackless disgrace...Could never figure that out...

I don't want to here that Floyd's a jerk and Joe's not, I have read some articles and quotes by Calzaghe and he has been quite mouthy over the past year himself.. This is about in ring accomplishments strictly...

I think I made a fair assessment on this and would love to here what everyone thinks, Why does Joe get Royal treatment and Floyd Gets The venemous treatment??
Well Joe might say some shit, but you can bet your bottom dollar he will be coming at yeah, trying to knock your ass out, another words risking losing to win !, Joe is practicing what he preach.. Mayweather is great technical fighter, no question, but his mouth rattles, he talks trash and then he puts it in reverse the whole stretch. Its what I call "sling shot balls"... another words he is the guy talking shit at the end of the block while he is pelting you with a sling shot, he don't dare get close , cause he might get hurt. Granted he is fighting way out of his natural weight and he has very bad hands, so that can be taken into account, but the public will always love and embrace the warrior type fighter ! also Mayweather match-ups are predictable for one thing.. stylistic mismatches with all the terrain always favoring Mayweather.. 27 foot ring being the main thing. you put Mayweathers ass in a 16 -18 foot ring and some of those mis-matches would have been much more fan friendly.. however I doubt the outcome would be much different. Mayweather is great fighter he just prefer to win easy, and forgets that the fan needs to be excited from time to time. ! Anyway that’s how I see it.
