Best Super Middleweight of all time to date?

[Fenster]

You can make a case that Steve Collins ranks a close third to Calzaghe. Two wins over prime Chris Eubanks, two wins over Nigel Benn (he was older, but so was Eubank when Calzaghe fought him), and Chris Pyatt. Frederic Seillier was also a decent win.

You can only do that by judging their careers on paper.

Benn was well finished. And Eubank was arguably never really the same after the Watson fight - so a long way from his prime.

Calzaghe had never been past 8 rounds, so Eubank, even though not prime, was a BIG step-up in class for him. That's the difference.
