If Calzaghe wins, he cements his legacy by beating a young, undefeated lineal champ. That would look very nice on his resume to go with Kessler and Hopkins. If Joe looses, he goes out on his shield and he'll get credit for taking the riske late in his career. Some might use it to discredit Calzaghe, but those will the be people who don't know anything about boxing.
