Give him credit, where credit is due if he beats another young Champion. Instead of trying to take it away from him by saying that he fights crappy young champions. Everyone favored jeff lacy, and now even espn is picking Kessler over Calzaghe. I think he and mayweather deserve the legendary status if they both win their upcoming fights. Hatton is good and so is Kessler.

I'm sorry! Joe Calzaghe doesn't deserve any type of credit. He has been beating up on bums and still hasn't made an attempt to come to the U.S. He needs to man-up and ask himself *Where is the real challenge?*. I am not favoring Hatton and I don't think he stands a chance against PBF! BUT! I respect what Hatton is doing. He is about to face off against the number 1 P4P in the world here the U.S KEYWORD: U.S. Ricky tried convincing Joe to come here! But Joe doesn't want any part of it. SADLY! Thats why Joe doesn't get much respect

You're dumb. Omar Sheika, Chris Eubank, Robin Reid, Sakio Bika, Jeff Lacy, Byron Mitchell, Mario veit aren't bums. You obviously don't know **** about boxing if you call those super-middle weights bums.

Jeff Lacy is the only credit I can give him.

How dare you call all the other boxers bums. Ignorant ****, you really piss me off and I'm trying to keep my cool. You're just a Calzaghe hater. I'm not saying his resume is the best, but its better then Kessler though Kessler is a good fighter aswell. You'll discredit Calzaghe but probably suck Kesslers toes.

Does fighters were good but old. I give you Lacy but thats it. I like Joe but like Dominicano said he needs to man-up and if he doesn't do that then he is another wasted talent! Sorta like RJJ.

gotta go with soldier on this one.....reid is no joke.....hell i was one of the many calling a lacy knockout win over joe....i was wrong....his fight with mitchell was a good one.....anyone remember his fight with mcintire...i think that was his name.....that was my 1st time seeing him live and man that a fight.....hell even then i picked against him.....since way back then he was calling out roy jones and hopkins....he beats kessler he's def deserved more recognition but still will need a taylor,pavlik, or hopkins to cement his legacy....

El: The guy is selling out soccer stadiums and Cal-Kess will do over 20 mill at the gate. Why should he come to the US and fight in front of 10K? Why did Ali go overseas to fight guys in their hometown but guys today from the states who sell **** in tickets (Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins) are too much of a draw to cross? Ridiculous.

Also, Reid was far from old. Calzaghe has earned his stripes. He's already arguably no worse than #2 in the 24 year history of his class. Beat Kess and he's 1. period. If Kess was from the US people would be jizzing themselves.

Elite...Calm Down. I know I must have disrespected one of your favorite fighters. What I am saying is! Joe doesn't want to prove anything to nobody and hasn't even made an attempt to come to the U.S THEN he has the nerve to talk about B-Hop and Winky. Don't talk **** about these 2 I mean c'mon they have fought wayyyyyyyy better competition. Joe is a great fighter I will admit but his legacy will only be known in the U.K

Ok! Tell me this isn't money talk?! Wasn't Hatton making that paper also?? C'mon we are talking about rank! Where does Joe Calzaghe stand??? I am not trying to insult anyone but guys face it. If you were a boxer where must you fight in order to show the world how truly great you are???? Calzaghe is LEGEND where?!!! Well not here in the U.S

Call Joe Calzaghe a Legend if he beats another young Champion
