Thats why it's not only frustrating to have people constantly deride him. He is a legitimate champion and is among the elite p4p in the world today! Yet people still question him.
People said he would get his credit if he somehow defeated Lacy, he assasinated Lacy and his repuatation and no reward! The only fault with the result of that fight is that Cal was too effective and Made Lacy look like a bad fighter! And now Kessler, should he Beat Kessler (who i really like,) will Kessler too be dubbed a "paper champion," and an over-rated force

I'm picking Joe, but no way in hell he stops Kessler.
He did dismatle Lacy impressively..he was an up and comer so Calzaghe didn't get the credit he deserved for making him look completely foolish. He didn't help his cause by going from Lacy back to lacklustre opposition. You're supposed to go up in class (unless you're having a tune-up but I don't think Calzaghe's got the time for tune-ups..he's not getting any younger)
Don't worry though, I think Calzaghe will get credit if he should beat Kessler (and it's not controversial) because Kessler has proved himself somewhat. He's 39-0 and included in his resume are some of the name's I mentioned earlier. Mundine, Andrade etc. He'll get the credit
