How boxer A does Against Boxer B has no effect on how boxer B does against boxer C

[Rantcatrat]

First of all, I don't believe the Kessler/Calzaghe question as much reflects on Kessler's inability as much as it does on Ward's ability. Kessler is at the upper echelon of smw's as is Calzaghe, but maybe Ward's the best smw of all time? Also, Calzaghe's reputation shouldn't take a hit until we can adequately discredit Kessler. One loss against a potentially superstar in Ward doesn't cut it. For example, if Kessler dominates Froch and beats his next opponent and Ward wins the whole thing and doesn't lose for twenty fights, Calzaghe's legacy remains looking pretty good.

To the point of the post, styles definitely make fights. But when fighter A and C have similar styles, and A beats B, most likely C will beat B too.

I was extremely disappointed with Kessler against Ward, maybe he just had a bad night and he can come back from that poor performance.
Styles make fights, Tszyu didn't handle Hatton as well as he should've, yet i believe he would have handled both Mayweather and Paquiao a whole lot better.
Foreman destroys both Norton and Frazier yet both of these guys give Ali trouble?
The great Eder Jofre just couldn't handle Figthing Harada? Styles make fights.
