I'm starting to question Joe's legacy....

I really think a return to the ring would ultimately benefit his legacy beyond all doubt, if for just two more fights. I really rate Joe, but his resume just doesn't match his ability. I look at Froch who is no where near as good as Calzaghe and he's got Jermaine Taylor (despite Taylor completely outboxing him and being shot) and a young Andre Dirrell (who will go on to bigger and better things). And whilst Joe has an undefeated Kessler and highly rated Lacy on his record both of those wins have come under heavy criticism due to what those fighters have gone on to become. I guess the only fights on for him now is the IBF Champion, Bute or Chad Dawson at LHW, and then depending on the Super Six winner that would also be a legacy sealing victory. I know Joe thinks of himself "bigger" than the likes of Bute and Dawson, but he forgets that his career only really made it to the big stage two years before he retired and the choices he made (with regards to fighting Roy over Pavlik and Manfredo Jr over.....well anybody other than Manfredo Jr) really leave a negative smudge on his record. It would do Joe no harm to maybe get to 48-0 with two more career defining wins. Ideally it'd be Bute and Ward.
