    Who has the greater legacy - Felix Trinidad or Joe Calzage?

    This is a genuine question as I often see these two ranked closely or swapped above one another in various lists.

    Trinidad. He might the losses, but he also dared to be great. Joe C didn't try that at all it seems.

    Felix beat Oscar but that win is widely disputed.

    Now the question is greater legacy not who was more skilled which would go to Joe C. So my vote goes to Tito.

    Tito and I'm a big Calzaghe fan.......

    Tito's stock will rise INFINITELY in the years to come, even though he gets more than enough praise.......

    Tito was a gives you "goosebumps" kinda fighter, who dared to be great and that's what legacies are all about.:good
