Yep.
Statistics play a big part in any sports.
Years from now, fans will see the 46-0 record and say 'wow what a beast this guy was'.
No one will yap about his quality of opposition.
Look at Hagler fighting a SRL who came out of retirement and who's last fight i believe was at WW? if i'm not mistaken.
You see everyone praising Hagler nowadays. Hearns fought midgets his whole life and he's praised too.
Duran lost 16 times and he's looked at as a boxing god by many.
I believe that Joe Calzaghe will be forgiven for going through life and death with a 43 year old Bernard Hopkins, and using a 39 year old Past prime Roy Jones Jr as his career defining fight.
Besides, staying undefeated in 46 fights it's not an easy task. He'll be ****ed on today but i predict that over the years, fans will say 'man if only there were more fighters like Joe Calzaghe'.
I'm sure it has happened in the past, where a fighter gets ****ted on while they're active then all of a sudden in 20 years they are seen as the saviors of Boxing.
