He was just a prospect... Nothing more.

And although Cal beat Eubank, Eubank was a dominant champ and i belive he could of beat Hopkins that very day.

And in regards to the Toney - RJJ fight.... We all know the weight/ Conditioning problems Toney had going into the fight

What im trying to say is, its not so simple drawing comparisons between careers.
Come on! Fuk the weight problems, I like Toney but that was his fault, and he wasn't beating Roy Jones at that time period. What if Lacy said he had great problems making weight would you just automatically dismiss Calzaghes dominant win over him? NO, I didn' think so. The weight drained shat is an EXCUSE. Roy dominated Toney who was a better fighter than Calzaghe, or Eubank.
I agree come the fuk on! Roy wasn't half the fighter he'd become when he fought Hopkins and he did it with one hand and he fought and beat Toney in his first venture at super middleweight. If you're going to degrade Roy's Toney fight by saying Toney had weight problems. Chris Eubank had weight problems to make 168 to fight Calzaghe if you want to be technical so lets stop giving credit to Joe for that victory.
