Is Calzaghe worthy of Legendary status?

Nope.

 

:rofl :rofl Not to change subject, but I only just saw your post in the Calzaghe Never Loses thread - "Calzaghe lost when God was handing out countries, discuss". Classic! Not quite as subtle as "Calzaghe lost in the amateurs, discuss", but classic, nonetheless.

Add that to your growing list of subtle entries into Calzaghe threads. I've noticed... :good

 

GARY SHAW in the johnson vs dawson press conference:

QUESTION: What are your thoughts on Calzaghe-Hopkins?


JOHNSON: It's a difficult fight. I really think Bernard is a defensive whiz, and Joey throws a lot of punches from every different angle. I think Joe might win the fight, but I don't think he's going to be able to land a lot of punches. He'll probably just win off just the fact that he throws a lot of punches.

Bernard is very skillful defensively. He doesn’t have as much offense as he used to have in his prime, but he still has his defensive skills.

SHAW: I'd like to throw a shot at that question. I love Bernard Hopkins on a personal level. I think he's great, and I'm a huge fan of Bernard's. But in the fight game, I have all the respect in the world for Joe Calzaghe. I watched him at ringside destroy Jeff Lacey. Go through Miguel Kessler. I think in the underrated department, that Joe Calzaghe should be rated number one.
