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.

Many times Calzaghe has said I beat Kessler as some form as achievement
Kessler was an undefeated SMW champion. How is beating him NOT an achievement?

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.
