    P4P Floyd Mayweather would win comfortably.

    In all honesty this goes 12 rounds, Floyd lands a lot more punches, but Calzaghe just swamps him with workrate which is the only thing judges see, so they would give him the decision.

    I see Joe Calzaghe going down in this fight from a counter right hand. Floyd Mayweather had alot of power at the lower weightclasses, and i can see Joe Calzaghe getting reckless with his combinations, and Mayweather catches him right down the pipe while Calzaghe is off balance.

    I just don't think Calzaghe's combos would have much effect, if ODLH's didn't. Why would Calzaghe's against a faster more powerful Mayweather ? considering this is purely P4P debate i see Mayweather taking a UD by atleast 4 points IMO.

    Mayweather is the better skilled, more polished, and more intelligent fighter.

    Discussing who would win in a fight between the two is a bit ridiculous though.

    This is hard to imagine cuz the difference is size is so vast . The closest thing we haver to compare it to is Hopkins vs Oscar .

    With that in mind Calzaghe would have to be a pretty comfortable favourite to win it

    Very hard to compare, we would have been better off with a Whitaker Vs RJJ matchup

    Oscar was a shop worn 6rd fighter and still nearly beat Floyd. Prime Oscar would beat Floyd soundly at 135,140 or 147. As would Mosley and Tito (prime) those guys late 90s were great fighters who could hang in any era and actually fought the best.

    Who knows Floyd might read this and actually clear out a division instead of fighting the weakest champs (Gatti @ 140, Baldomir 147).

    Great fighter but not as great as everyone makes out, didnt fight enough other greats.

    It goes like this...

    Fighter A is the most dominate fighter at weight "A" (140lbs)


    Fighter B is the most dominate fighter at weight "B" (168lbs)

    Now if Fighter A weighed 200lbs and Fighter B weighed 200lbs, the winner of the fight would be the P4P winner.

    Got it?
