Does Kessler's loss to Ward hurt Calzaghe's legacy? Unofficial Poll!

[DrewWoodside]

And, as noted earlier, if this is the start of a great, HOF run for Ward, why would it in the long run? What if at the end of this Ward is the only guy who beats Kessler?

That's why Super Six rocks...this is just the start of the whole thing.

I think if that happens, it might increase Calzaghe's resume's credibility.

Does Kessler's loss to Ward hurt Calzaghe's legacy? A lot of posters are jumping all over Calzaghe's resume now that Kessler lost convincingly to Ward. It's hard to say Kessler's loss has no bearing on Calzaghe. On the flip side, if Kessler had won every Super Six fight and dominated the tournament.. A lot of Calzaghe supporters would have come out and said.. Calzaghe beat the guy who dominated the Super Six. So, What type of impact does everyone think Kessler's loss has on Calzaghe? Poll to follow.

You're absolutely right they would say that but now what? You better believe they won't hold it against him which we all know is wrong. Calz is good, but it doesn't mean much that he beat two old greats. As far as I'm concerned, Calz is in the same boat as Marciano, good fighters but way overrated.

You Win!!!

I think one thing that was proven, and it's just IMO.. If you can disrupt Kessler's rhthym, he becomes extremely mechanical and fairly awkward/cumbersome. He may actually matchup well stylistically with the other top dog in the tourney Arthur Abraham, because Abraham provides a relatively stationary target. He doesn't really utilize agility or major movement. This is what's exciting about the tourney!

no i think kesslers loss to ward makes calzaghe's legacy even better! his legacy is that he's an overhyped bum who fought nobodies and old men right?

Exactly hehehehe he's not a bum but he's certainly very overrated. He was a continental level fighter that BARELY got lucky vs the great Roy and Hopkins when they were 40 year olds. He's more on Kessler's level than Ward is. I think Ward is better than anyone else cept perhaps Abraham which i didn't quite decipher yet. That will be a good fight.

Well, if you have two eyes a brain and can read you'll notice one of the yes options specifies "but only a little." Allow me to translate that into lamens terms for you. That means "Yes" but not that much. Hit those books kiddo!

Whatever you know your poll sucks. Does Kessler's loss to Ward hurt Calzaghe's legacy? A simple yes or no would do.

Yes that is his legacy.
Good point.

kessler's loss wouldn't effect calz so much if he would've fought better opponents.

I don't like making connections like this but I will say it doesn't help Calz.

it shows how terrible slapssys resume really is. His best win was against mikkell kessler and look now. he was a exposed as an average fighter and got beat up alot worse by a green 25 year old andre ward.

No Dude.. You suck. We live in something called the real world. In the real world not everything is yes & no, black or white. As such, you'll notice the bottom two poll options are almost even. The reason? Because some people think Kessler's loss only hurts Calzaghe's resume a little. Hence the poll option. So, instead of disparaging others when you fail, admit you failed. People will forgive you and move on.
