Calzaghe fans are in damage control; legacy shattered

10 years as champion is impressive. Hopkins was still very good. Lacy was over hyped, but its not the fact he beat him, its the way in which he beat him that had everyone talking. Same with his win over Jones.
Calzaghe never had the big fights at the right time, and that is his fault for not going to America much sooner, but his legacy is fine.
Kessler losing in one fight to Ward cant destroy Calzaghes whole legacy. Thats the same as saying Moselys career is a joke because Cotto was stopped by Pac.Comment

Ok what makes Calzaghes resume so good?
a shot 40 year old rjj
a past prime 44 year old hopkins who he barely beat
a hyped up c level fighter jeff lacy
an average kessler who got beat way worse by andre ward(and this was considered slappys best win)
a past prime eubankComment

Kessler was an undefeated SMW champion. How is beating him NOT an achievement?Comment

Every fighters resume can get critized for example:
Without the little guys this is Hopkins legendary resume:
13 losses Johnson, 18 losses Brown, Hakkar, Vanderpool, Lipsey, Allen*3, Echols*2, Mercado, Eastman, Bo james and now he is risking everything by fighting the legendary Ornelias.Comment

Many people were fooled by the Calzaghe hype. It was a decent win, It shouldn’t be considered as a career defining win. Since Kessler has done nothing before and after the Calzaghe fight. Adamesk is a better win than Kessler nowComment
