rarely a truer word spoken. It's no coincedence imo that the two only great undefeated champions of our era Floyd Mayweather and Joe Calzaghe are also the two most criticised.
So are you suggesting that Joe Calzaghe could in fact improve in some people's estimations should he lose in a summer bout against Hopkins, as long as he puts in a brave performance? Everything's messed up if that's the case.
