I actually think the later style of Calzaghe fares much better against any version of Eubank..But his early gun-ho style, prime Eubank would have knocked him out.
2 weeks notice to make 168. He was already fighting on the bill against Mark Prince.
Calzaghe had never been past 8 rounds and was taking a huge step up in class.
Lets get things in perspective.
