    the way you frame the question it is obvious who you think has the better legacy. I must disagree with your assessment, I think John is underrated on these boards and has an edge on Joe

    Johns win over a prime Marquez > Calzaghes whole resume!

    I scored the fight for John, Marquez took the first half of the fight off while John was outboxing him.

    I'd pick Calzaghe legacy wise.

    Calzaghe has a better resume, but not by much, especially if you think John beat marquez legit.

    Both have a good legacy, but I put Calzaghe above due to unifying the division and clearing it out as well as being the man in 2 weight divisions, as well as beating most of the names who were in his division.
    Still John has a good legacy and the win over Marquez looks better over time
