Cal is a good fighter. But he could of been great
Array
Calzaghe does throw alot of arm punches but why dyou think people havent walked through them before?
They are constantly getting tagged, Floyd would be rolling around waiting for a counter but Joe dont stop, which is what I was getting at, also if Joe is such a week puncher, how come he made Bernard crawl around on all fours bitching to the ref and millions of viewers like a little sissy looking for a way out?
Array
Because Bernard is 44 and couldnt keep a 12 round pace with John Ruiz, Hopkins compubox punch out put is amoungst the lowest, you realize that right? So Nard OVEREMBELISHED a beltline shot to slower an already turtle paced fight... Cmon Ross I like Joe like the next guy, but Joe dosent like in rough in there and isint dazzling on the inside now is he? Dosent do well with a little duffing up on the inside does he? Exactly!!! Floyd would rough him up make it messy on the inside, duck and roll and then deep in the fight when Joe is frustrated Mayweather would drown him in the deep waters... Matter of Fact Joe just squeaked out a win over as guy that proved he cant keep pace for 4 years now, if Nard was a few years younger and fresher Joe was getting the 0 period!!! So Mayweather who is as well rounded and technically sound as theres been a fighter in the last 50 years would keep pace and just out class Calzaghe on every front in theis fight..
Congrats for winding me up enough to bite on this ridiculous matchup![]()

Mayweather is one of the fittest fighters ever i remember Calzaghe been fucked in last 3 rounds vs Kessler he said it himself after the fight.

Whilst I agree that Mayweather is indeed one of the fittest fighters ever to enter a ring, I have to point out that Floyd intelligently monitors his punch output. Some rounds he will punch as little as possible, so it is very seldom that he is ever fatigued.
Calzaghe on the other hand is a volume puncher - a real worker. He throws as many shots as is possible, so obviously he will be fatigued. When a fighter enters with the mindset that he is going to throw as much as he is able he is going to use all of his fuel regardless of how much he has, where as Floyd enters and only uses what he needs.

But he still pushed himself till the very end producing another high punch output at his advanced age. Floyd has never been pushed or punched as much as Joe would.
Floyd ran from slow easy to punch Baldomir, hed have fits with Joe bombarding him every second, Joe wouldnt give him time to roll around.
Lets see if Floyd is still unbeaten or even fighting top level ring belt holders when hes 36, I very much doubt it![]()

Calzaghe beats Lacy,Kessler and Hopkins and everyone thinks he is a god this is CRAZY!!
Array
Yeah in 5 years time, if Floyd has the balls to fight Cotto or Margarito I dont see him still being unbeaten or even on the top of his game like the ageless Calzaghe
Floyd has done well to manage and avoid some of the better fighters like Tszyu, Cotto he even turned down good money to fight Margarito when he was quite willing to go in with the very little known Baldomir
Joe has wiped his division clean, Floyd cant say that in any division, never mind, he might one day hold 2 ring belts simultaniously if he tries a bit harder
Hes got time bless im![]()

B-Hop is over 40 years old....he's hurt when he wakes up in the morning the fact he took Joe the distance and damn near beat him (and in some people's opinions he did beat him....not mine of course) is pretty damn tough to explain away when Joe is in his prime and "the best pound for pound fighter" as his fans tout him to be.
