Does Kessler's loss last night diminish Calzaghe's legacy?

The question is one worth asking although the answer must be a resounding "No."

The reason should be unsurprising. Calzaghe's win over Kessler isn't any less special or meaningful to Calzaghe's legacy, it just may be that Ward is sufficiently good to one day challenge Calzaghe's position as the all-time greatest super middleweight.

An Olympic gold medalist and undefeated professional, Ward is a world champion in the making with the pedigree and skills to challenge Calzaghe for the position of the greatest super middleweight of all time. To be sure, Ward has much to accomplish before the comparison can be made with Calzaghe. Calzaghe has an undefeated streak spanning a decade and victories over all-time greats. However, like Calzaghe two years ago, albeit in a much less entertaining fashion, Ward dominated Kessler last night.

The only doubt remaining on Ward is his chin.
