    Do you think Casa would have retired with a similar record and accolades as Joe Calzaghe?

    Was Calzaghe so much better than Casa, as a first glance of their respective records might suggest?

    the problem is casamayor was never going to be a big name as he cant fight infront of a home crowd, so he would always have to take big risks.

    With Warren Casa would have been pretty much unknown.

    My point wasn't really a practical one. It was more this idea that Calzaghe is 'a much greater fighter' because he has a 'much greater record'.

    Do you guys think thats true?

    Is there as big a gap between the two fighters as their record and accomplishments suggest?
