Beating Kessler doesn't make Calzaghe an ATG!

Of course he's already an ATG -- people underestimate how good Kessler was. A win over him means much more than outclassing Hopkins, Wright or Woods would mean at this point.

:good

i dont care what anyone says, JC is an ATG in my book..... i mean, we have to remember, he is at the TAIL END of his career, and hes beating on guys like kessler?

true class....

i wish i could have been a fan when he was in his prime...

i still like kessler more, and after a few wins maybe they can have a rematch though i doubt jc would, and i dont blame him, no need to.

beating Kessler alone doesn't make him all time great but when you combine that with all his other accomplishments, its the definately tips the scale.

Hey bud.

Calzaghe needs no one. Only pure testacle lickers think Hopkins resume is actually better and he's destined for HOF.

A bloated Wright.
Overated Tarver.
Undersized DLH.
Undersized Tito.
Loss to Jones.

You honestly believe Calzaghe wouldn't trounce these Jokers? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!! (except maybe Jones)

*keels over and dies of laughter*

Can't believe u are trying to argue resumes between Hopkins and Calzaghe :-( 4 out of 5 of those fighters will be HOF. Name 5 fighter on Calzaghe's resume that's better than Hopkins 5........................

It is irrelevant whether it does make Joe an ATG or not...even if it didn't, this wouldn't change the fact he would beat Hopkins, Dawson, Pavlik...

Since Joe signed to fight Kessler, he started to cement/enhance his legacy in big steps.

Now that he has beaten him and got recognition for his great talent and ability form everyone, including Americans, he can continue to cement/enhance his legacy in big steps - he can make the best fights now, whereas before, they were dodging him because he was unknown and a bad risk - whether enough to achieve ATG status or not is another discussion - and as long as he can do so, he should;

he can enhance his legacy by fighting the most dangerous and best live threats out there at 168-175...Dawson, for example...NOT have-been NAMES who are only resume trophy wins.

You are jumping to conclusions but if he beats fighters such as Hopkins, Pavlik, Dawson he will be one of the greatest fighters in my book.

Beating Kessler doesn't make Joe an ATG... right, but it sure helps.

Plus, consider the fact that he also beat Eubank, Reid, Mitchell, Brewer, Lacy, etc. that he has been a champ for more then 10 years and, you're pretty, pretty close to be an ATG.
