Eubank says he'd have stopped Calzaghe!

[Althugz]

Prime for Prime I can't see Calzaghe beating Chris. Eubank, I think we can all agree was 10 times the champion that Calzaghe is. You just have to look at his resume to see that..Eubank never backed away from a challenge..his last 2 fights were proof of that. Moving up to Cruiserweight to come close to beating Karl Thompson. That was a time I would have been proud to back our British fighters..but now we just have arrogance in the form of Calzaghe and even a little in Hatton. These guys toot their horns when they havn't done S***.
Coincidently my favourite boxer at this moment in time = Floyd Mayweather Jr..yepp he talks the most S***. Difference? He backs it up..just like Eubank used to..
The clash of styles would make it difficult for Eubank in his prime against Calzaghe but I still think a close points victory or late K.O for Eubank.

you need to go do a bit more research, Eubank was more shy than Calzaghe when it came to travelling and fighting bums, i give him my respect fighting Thompson and they were great fights and he only lost because he was the smaller man, but that was at the end of his career and he had nowhere else to go. Calzaghe and Hatton are both p4p fighters and two of the best the Uk has produced.

First of all, because I had one post don't jump on me to do more research..I have done my research..you do yours. Calzaghe is a lot more protected than Eubank was..Eubank was always put in situations where the possibility of a loss was very real! How many dangerous situations can you think of that calzaghe has been put in where the possibility of a loss was real? Peter Manfredo? Haha..get real! All of you can be as quick as you like to jump on me for preferring Eubank over Calzaghe but i'm sure i'm not the only one that shares the same view. Eubanks resume is 10x better than Calzaghes I can't even believe anybody is arguing that point..he has 2 big wins on his 40+ undefeated streak?? i respect Eubank more for the losses he has on his resume than I do calzaghe for the wins because they are all gift wrapped and delievered to his door..its boring. Hatton? He has fought one guy..ever..Kostya..and there is still the arguement about wether Kostya would have worked him in his younger days. Hatton has been exposed by lesser fighters (collazo, urango) so he is a B class fighter at best for me. Castillo win holds no weight for me also..they were good performances..can't deny him that at all but would it have been different had these 2 fighters been in their prime?

Jeff Lacy was favourite to beat him and alot of so called experts said Joe was going down within 6 rounds, so you not think that was a dangerous fight to take?? Come on now, Gift wrapped lol, so Kessler that not a dangerous fight either?? Nah i suppose thats gift wrapped to against a guy who is in his prime who is bigger stronger and is unbeaton. Sort your head out mate.

It is quite awkward trying to explain something to someone who clearly can't read and most likely didn't make it past nursery school...If I recall I DID MENTION that in his 40+ undefeated career calzaghe had only 2 names that meant anything...who do you think I was referring to when I mentioned that? Mario Viet? No, one of them was Eubank (albeit way out of his prime) and the other was indeed Left Hook Lacy..so I was giving Calzaghe credit for the schooling he gave Lacy..i'd be stupid not to. As far as Kessler, sure thing..i'll give him credit for that..but at what stage in his career? It's a little too late for me..Eubank, Benn..good champions in general face stiff competition at around 20 professional fights..why the need to cradle Calzaghe for 40+!? Look at Taylor..not his biggest fan but his 20th pro fight was Bernard Hopkins!! Then Winky Wright..big risks and he deserves credit for taking them win, lose or draw. Most decent fighters get into stiff competition at around the 20-25 pro bouts mark. E.G De La Hoya, Mayweather..Vargas even! I don't blame Calzaghe solely, its more Frank Warren..but grow some balls like Ricky Hatton and leave the fucking guy!

Miles, I just used Hatton as an example of a protected british fighter in my initial post mate (although he gets my respect for leaving Warren..temporarily it seems now though ). Someone just responded with Hatton as an arguement and I was just giving my opinion on his point.
