    Well I think old Hopkins is still his biggest win.

    The Hopkins that came in against Cals would have totally befuddled last nights Kessler. Which to be fair is exactly what Ward did. He may have gotten punished less.

    Kessler just doesn't seem to adapt well which is a trait of most great fighters. But I think Joe's legacy is still solid if a little less impressive than it could have been if not for that long span in the middle of his career where he didn't get much done.

    1. Calzaghe obviously ruined Kessler.

    2. Eubank was a bigger win than Kessler.

    3. Jesus might have given Calzaghe problems.. all the dirty guys did.

    Fenster, add a "not sure" option to the poll, I don't know how to

    Or everyone could just say I'm not sure, I don't know.

    I was about to but then saw it's 6-0 so far to Calzaghe. Best just let Calzaghe win.

    Actually right now Kessler seems like the perfect candidate for a rematch given Joe's most recent competition.

    Calzaghe fought the best when they were at their worst and that is his legacy defined.

    Sure Joe is talented, but where was the challenge in his career? OLD Hopkins? OLD Roy Jones Jr? Please, the man fought 2 "tough" opponents in their primes Jeff Lacy and Mikkel Kessler and look what just happened to Mikkel. If Joe knows what's best for his career HE will take the place of Jermain Taylor in the Super 6 and win out.....if he could beat Abraham that is

    Ward might have had only 20 wins but for what its worth this is an Olympic gold medalist and a very skilled fighter. I think Calzaghe might have took something out of Kessler but I think Ward would have beaten him regardless. I was leaning for AA to win this thing but Ward is defiantly the next runner up.

    I suppose its like when Joe fought Lacy, Lacy was a wreaking machine and Joe walked it, then Kessler and again, Joe is very impressive and fights the whole way, no clinching.

    Ward didnt look impressive, he looked like Hopkins, hes got that horrible style that relys on being dirty and disruptive.

    I think Joe beats Ward like he beat Hopkins, he may be tempted to come out of retirement now because he did feel proud of that win and I think the Kessler that Joe fought was a better fighter, he hadnt had his confidence ruined yet and had been very active fighting decent, tough, world class fighters

    So you're knocking Calzaghe because Kessler lost, and yet Hopkins scored THE BEST (in his words) win of his career after Calzaghe but that doesn't count because he was "old."

    Kessler was unbeaten when Calzaghe beat him.

    Hopkins arguably scored the most impressive wins of his career either side of the Calzaghe loss (certainly in his opinion).

    Most importantly Calzaghe was never knocked out by golfers and journymen. Fact.

    Wards decisive win over Kessler definately rubs poo on Joe's resume.

    I disagree with Kessler being Calzaghe's biggest win though, Hopkins is his biggest win imo.

    Pavlik was the best win of Hopkins' career because it was unexpected, had Hopkins beaten Calzaghe I am sure THAT would have been the biggest win of his career.

    Calzaghe didn't clinch like an S.O.B. or literally use his head.

    Credit to Ward, but I don't think he did it in as impressive a manner...
