The headbutt was a disgrace, HE tried to hurt mayweather by cheating, which is against the rules and not at all sportsman like.

Mayweather did nothing wrong, not the behaviour of a Champion maybe, but the behaviour of a very mad boxer who has just been headbutted.

I really cant understand why people are moaning at maywaether

Best of the last 30 years IMO, the one and only
JOE CALZAGHE (CBE, MBE)
. . .
Won the WBO Super-Mid Title on October 11th 97 with a unanimous points victory over CHRIS EUBANK at Sheffield Arena, and I was there with my dad.
He knocked the cocky too hat down in the first few seconds with a banging uppercut.
On 5th March 06 he utterley destroyed the USA's next big thing - and overwhelming favorite - JEFF LACY, to both defend his WBO title and take the IBF belt. It was at the MEN Arena, and yes, I was there too! LoL
The best boxing clinic you are ever likely to see. I was joining in with the "Easy Easy" chants after 6 or 7 rounds. Definitely the best boxing event Ive ever been to. He won every round but the 11th. But that was due to a point taken off for a low blow.
14th October 06 he defended both titles again at the MEN against SAKIO BIKA. He was an animal, and a trio of early headbutts cut Joe's eyebrow badly. But he went on to win on points regardless.
On 7th April 07 I visited the Millennium Stadium for the 2nd time in 12 months, to witness an easy 3rd Rd stoppage victory against PETER MANFREDO JR.
November 4th 07 he unified the WBO/WBA/WBC/Ring Super-Mid Titles with a unanimous points victory over MIKKEL KESSLER in Cardiff.
In doing so he surpassed the 20 defenses made by Bernard Hopkins & Larry Holmes. Only Dariusz Michalsewszi (23) and the great Joe Louis (25) have made more successful defences of their respective world titles.
He then relenquished his titles to fight at light-heavy. His reign of more than 10 years was 1 of the longest by a world champ.
On April 19th in Las Vegas, he beat the legendary - and veteran at 43 - BERNARD HOPKINS to claim the Ring Magazine Light-Heavy title, after a split decision with 1 judge surprisingly scoring the bout in Hopkins favour. That despite Compubox (the stats thing) recording that Calzaghe landed more punches on Hopkins than any of the Americans previous opponents.
And finally on the 8th of November 08 at Madison Square Garden, Joe Calzaghe cemented his legendary status by stopping ROY JONES JR to defend his Light-Heavyweight title, and remain undefeated throughout his professional career.
. . .
He then retired 4 months later in February 09.
He retired as 1 of only 3 Undisputed & Undefeated World Champions in the history of boxing. The other 2 being Ricardo Lopez and of course the legendary Rocky Marciano.
I fell in love as a young teenager with both Calzaghe and Prince Naseem thanks to my dads love for boxing. So Im fairly biased tbh. But nevertheless, you cant argue with both his record, and his fcukin clinical boxing style. Maybe not enough 'Big Fights' but you fight whats in front of you.
And for me, Britain will never have a better boxer... :-D

Quite simply A LEGEND!
