    I can't even imagine the scenario happening so it's hard for me to vote in this poll but if it did I guess I would give him some credit.

    If Roy went on to really dominate I don't see how you couldn't give Joe more credit for the win.

    Of corse he's legacy goes up just like it could go down of kessler fails once he fights a live body. The only two guys that could bring up his legacy right now is Kessler and Jones. Hopkins only goes up a little cause it was contraversial. But hopkins beating Adimik would look nice in Cal's resume. All this those is make his resume look good. It won't make him go up in the all time scale. I believe you have to fight to get that recognition.

    Yes, most defintely. How anyone can say otherwise is beyond me... He kicked his ass, plain and simple. Maybe it was an off night for Roy or maybe it's just a case of how he simply outclassed Lacy, ala Joe, but either way, what I saw of Roy a couple weeks ago didn't apply when in against Calzaghe... That means something.

    Whatever Roy goes on to do, he was a shell of his old self when he fought Joe.

    Would I give Joe slightly more credit for that win than I do now? Yes.

    Would I believe it was equal to schooling the Roy who embarrassed Reggie Johnson? No.

    I`d give Joe all the credit he deserves! But other so called boxingfans are completely out of reach when it comes to Calzaghe! Kessler looked **** against Joe, Hopkins looked **** against Joe, and so did Jones.. But all (except Kessler, yet) had really good wins after they lost to Joe! But still people makes excuses about them being old, shot and untested.. blah blah blah! its simply a war of words that cant be won at this point of time!

    But if Kessler goes on and win the super-six, even the biggest "Joe haters" have to give him some credit.. or i`m definately finish with this forum for good:deal

    I'll be sorry to see you go mate. Do you honestly believe the usual suspects will ever give JC any credit?? Of course it makes a mockery of the forum at times but, haters apart, there are a load of good, funny, intelligent posters here. There are certainly no better elsewhere.:good

    Thanks mate, always nice to know:good No, i dont think the usual haters will change much OP about him.. and i`m not saying they should, but just a little more respect for him would be apriciated!
    Yes, there are still many good and fair posters here, thank god for that! but sometimes its good to take a little time off

    Is this a serious question?

    For me the question should be "who wouldn't".
