Team Ward dare Joe Calzaghe to come out of retirement

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Philosopher you ‘normally’ talk sense but it is fact that Eubanks fought Joe at short notice because he was due to fight on the same card against a light heavy.

An objective view would be to say both fought each other on short notice, steve collins anyone? It works both ways. Eubank had been training to fight Mark Prince at light heavyweight, He had two weeks to get down to 168lbs. However it is well known that eubank regularly had to shed 15lbs to make weight for many of his SMW fights, he never complained about it so why are you??

The result would have been the same because Joe would not be denied and you are correct Joe was green because he was did not pace himself in that fight and was exhausted at the end.

Prime calzaghe wins a UD over prime eubank..

Lennox would have beaten Byrd and Ruiz who went on and picked up the titles that Lewis dropped. Lennox had unified the titles and he achieved what he needed to and the politics and corruption to keep the titles would have been a lot of effort for very little reward.[/QUOTE]I agree, although byrd deserved his shot. Natural fight to make back then, bit like wlad v povetkin is now. Lewis vs a southpaw would have been interesting though.
