Got a soft spot for Calderon and he's sadly not spoken highly enough as one of the eras greats...
Calderon vs Cazares and Calderon vs Segura I were both classics
I know some irrelevant idiot will diminish him shortly - doesn't take away that Iron Boy was one of the most skilled technicians of the last 15 years...everybody he fought was bigger and stronger and it took a young lion to dethrone him long after he was washed up

He showed vast slippage in the Mayol and Iribe fights. His last good all around performance was in the Cazares rematch. He was 35 when he fought Segura and was a champion for 8 consecutive years before fighting him.
It took a kid younger, bigger, stronger, durable and at that point faster to finally beat him.
It was still a good win for Segura - but lets not act like anything in the above wasn't true. If anything, there should be great credit for Calderon, being as washed up as he was to make it a FOTY. Prime Calderon would have made easy work of Segura, just like a washed up Calderon had vast amounts of success before his legs gave away
