    He cant now its too late. IMO he was a skilled fighter with no power who could have been legendary but should never be regarded as so due to his poor resume

    So ya, theres nothing Joe could do. People who complain about him being called an ATG do so just because they just hate him. Not because they think he was good but not great and have grown to hate him because of his smug fans claiming he was the second coming of Jesus
     
  4. Third coming. Jesus came back once already.

    He did have a bit of power when he was younger.but you're right he could have had a greater legacy but he was still a very good fighter.

    :pS: The Chad is who is more proven and all around better, than Lacy and Kessler and would be the biggest fighter Joe would have faced. I respect Calzaghe, but lets not pretend he is an all time great that always fought the best. Do you think he would have came over to the states to fight Dawson who is in his prime and highly skilled? Can't see it.

    HeadHunter I'm not disputing that but if he'd have had as much confidence in himself as his gobshite Dad did he could have proven it. He didn't so he'll never be legendary in my eyes

    That would probaly be at CW then, dont think that extra weight would be good for Calzaghe! but if he beat Adamek, then he would be forced to fight Dawson next! if Joe really had to come out of retirement, he should go strait for Dawson, imo

    Step up to Heavyweight and beat David Haye for the heavyweight title.

    Beat Zsolt Erdei for the WBO lightheavyweight belt.

    Thats about all.
