Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Joe Calzaghe

[bxrfan]

If these two were fighting at the same weight, in a P4P sense, who would come out on top?

[Larson]

Floyd

If these two were fighting at the same weight, in a P4P sense, who would come out on top?Right now or in their primes?

[joe the great]

Floyd wouldn't have the pop to slow Joe down much IMO. I don't see this making it into round three.

[southpaw1974]

This is a P4P matchup, not a matchup with them being the size they are currently.

Well, considering that almost everybody considers Floyd to be P4P #1, Floyd would win.

I read that wrong. Floyd on points.

[cardstars]

This is too hard to hash out. Are they in their primes or fighting right now? Are they the same size or is Joe keeping his (massive) height and reach advantage?

[Toopretty]

Floyd would kick his ass. Calzaghe is too sloppy and everything he does Floyd does better. His flurries of bullshit would do nothing and he falls in chin first. Floyd would ICE THAT MOTHERFUCKER, unlike he did ODH.

Floyd...Joe makes to many mistakes...

[TFFP]

Joe, all day long

i guess its p4p so you would have to take all size advantages out and base it soley on skill and ability

[Toopretty]

Floyd...Joe makes to many mistakes...

Hell yeah he does. Gets lazy on defense, drops his hands. Throws WIDE punches leaving himself open. Floyd outclasses this second rate p4p fighter.

[Larson]

I think you should rename this thread
Yet another Floyd Nuthugging Thread For Floyd fans looking for attention.

The Calzatics haven't arrived yet.

[TFFP]

To be honest, I'd be suprised if this goes 3 rounds

That Floyd Weatherman just ain't in Joe's class

[cuchulain]

Not much of a concept.

Floyd is much smaller.

Too hypothetical.

It's like saying Lennox Lewis vs Sugar ray leonard.IN A POUND FOR POUND SENSE!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND POUND FOR POUND?!?!?

[Amsterdam]

The Welter version would lose to Joe very clearly. Even the 135 version most likely, if you're dropping that many rounds to Castillo then Joe's going to be a nightmare.

But the 130 version, if adapted to SMW or Joe adapted to 130, I'd tend to favour Floyd, even though the comp there was not exactly the type to match his speed.

At 130, either pick is fine. Floyd hates swarmers, pressure fighters and workrate fighters and he technically lacks the pop to keep Joe off of him, but at 130 he may have had enough and in that case, he can pot shot his way to a close decision.

:lol:People don't read:lol:

[DobyZhee]

Pound for Pound..floyd beats Cal

Pound for Pound..Pac demolishes Cal

Its that simple

[Sweet Pea]

LOL Mayweather is the better fighter but how does he beat the best SMW ever?

This thread is stupid and is like asking who wins Ivan Calderon or Frank Bruno.OK, so it's pretty obvious you and the other guy are the exact same person. Admins, check this retards IP address.

[cardstars]

i guess its p4p so you would have to take all size advantages out and base it soley on skill and ability

Well the answer is obvious based solely on skill and ability. I figured we might be having some stipulations of some sort to even the playing field a bit. PBF all the way

[Amsterdam]

To be honest, I'd be suprised if this goes 3 rounds

That Floyd Weatherman just ain't in Joe's class

The Welter version adapted to 168 would be something like a guy who started at 154 naturally and moved up to 168 declining slowly, this version gets beaten pretty badly the more I think about it. Going into the defensive shell he does and lacking the pop to keep Joe off wouldn't win him many rounds.

His handspeed at 147 is also very much declined.

130, you have an excellent fight though, that'd be as if Floyd was adapted to 168 as a natural 168.

I think he'd win.

[Amsterdam]

Pound for Pound..floyd beats Cal

Pound for Pound..Pac demolishes Cal

Its that simple

:lol:

Yeah, because guys with commanding footwork and footspeed never off set his rythym and Pac is so multi-dimensional and fights so well off the back foot.

Get out of here.:lol:

[Sweet Pea]

Go ahead, i don't share usernames with anyone on this forum.

I'm not a Yank.Obviously, you're a biased prick with no clue about what you speak though.

[errsta]

since we're being hypothetical, I'm picking both to lose by impalement. By unicorn, no less.

[brooklyn1550]

Joe Calzaghe UD12 Floyd Mayweather

Assuming we are talking about the super middleweight version of Joe and the welterweight version of Floyd.

[Alo2006]

If these two were fighting at the same weight, in a P4P sense, who would come out on top?


Since u put it that way, Mayweather.

[hellblazer]

PBF by UD.

[196osh]

Now; the SMW Calzaghe and WW Mayweather: Calzaghe UD all day. Calzaghe would slip and jab his way inside using his speed and batter Floyd with more punch's than he has ever been hit with.

Imagen a 147 Calzaghe that would be a pain in Floyd's ass worse than any fighter that he could be fighting by a mile.

The fighter Floyd was at the lower weights would have faired much better.

[Carlos Primera]

in a p4p sense it would probably be 130 floyd vs. calzaghe at his best at 168. tough call, since floyd was quite the fighter at 130. above average power, offensive minded, fast hands and feet, his usual defense etc.... basically the opposite of what he is at 147.

[stuistylee]

If these two were fighting at the same weight, in a P4P sense, who would come out on top?this is silly mate...

[196osh]

this is silly mate...

Why?

[stuistylee]

since we're being hypothetical, I'm picking both to lose by impalement. By unicorn, no less.most sensible post in this whole fkn thread...

[stuistylee]

Why?man i just reckon some of these threads r meant 2 incite fans...we should concentrate more on what/can happen in our game 2day...:bbb

[196osh]

most sensible post in this whole fkn thread...

If you do not like the thread get to fuck mate :good

Dont click on it.

[MasterCalzaghe]

Joe The Chin Calzaghe takes this, Floyd can't do shit when peppered with punches like Joe throws em.

[bxrfan]

I should of cleared this up. Yes, both fighters are in their prime for this matchup.

[PrideOfWales]

Now?

Or when Calzaghe was in his prime?

[knockout]

Floyd

[INFADELZZZ]

joe will beat him, he would close him down and throw to many punches at him... it would be a good fight but i would have to say calzaghe wins it convincingly sorry mayweather fans, dont cry on me

[JediPimp007]

I think JC would win, as A) his hands weren't as brittle back in the day and he could really sit down on his punches and lay people out.

B) workrate. Floyds just not active enough in the ring, so someone that puts intelligent and constant pressure but has equal handspeed sounds like a long hard night.

[BewareofDawg]

Fuck I voted for Joe before I saw the first post. Floyd.
