Calzaghe or Hamed - who has the better legacy?

Naz has a far better legacy people are still talking about him years after he left the sport and will still be talking about him in another 10 years.He was always great to watch and would fight anyone.Calzaghe is a good fighter and im not taking anything away from him,he was a very good champ for a long time but his fights were often dull 12 round affairs against limited opposition.The only times Joe looked truly dominant and powerful were against the likes of Pudwill shieka and Manfreado.I dont think he will be talked about that much in ten years time and a lot of his fights will have been well forgoten.Naz won his fights in far better style and pretty much cleared up the division i certainly think his legacy is better than that of Joe.

 

Calzaghe.

 

thats a very good point.

it's rare a fighter of hamed's size can make those sort of waves globally, but that was because he was so entertaining. and even though he will always be criticised for retiring once he was beaten by the first world class fighter in his prime he ever fought, that still remains one step calzaghe never made - which is why calzaghe gets so much stick.

 

Calzaghe. Hamed was embarrassed against the first legit fighter he fought. Morales would have wiped the floor with him also. How he avoided the best in his division for so long I will never know.

 

read my post above - at least he fought a legit fighter in his prime.

there's definitely two sides to this coin.

 

atsch :rofl

 

Hamed was all hype. The guy got his ass handed to him as soon as he stepped up.

Then he left the sport in disgrace.

 

if you don't know how to answer my posts, save the childish emotes if that's the best you can do.

if you disagree with something then let's hear it - otherwise you want to di´sagree with me because of your allegiances, but that's all it is.

 

i have the same view. i thinks it's a slap in the face of a great fighter like barrera to attribute hameds loss to what hamed did'nt do, than what barrera did.atsch.

 

a legit fighter in hes prime and lost convincingly.....

calzaghe faced kessler to unify the supermiddleweight division...so there goes your 'at least he faced a legit fighter in hes prime' thing.

still im not saying hamed wasnt good...but to say he has a better legacy over calzaghe, when he stepped up to fight barrera and lost (then i think had one more fight and quit) is silly. Hes legacy (i think he even admitted himself) was centered around barrera, morales and what he would do when he faced them etc. He flopped vs barrera for whatever reasons....then quit soon after.....what a legacy.

And yes the ringwalked were nice, he was so arrogant, which appealed to some fans around the world but many will remember him struggling againts a world class opponent and then quiting
