    many think B-Hop beat him, Eubank was old and shot, many feel that even Reid beat Calzaghe, he remained undefeated for 15 yrs, cause he took on fighters like Peter Manfredo, and refused to take on the best while they were the best, for example Roy Jones, the bigger name, and Calzaghe didn't make an effort to get the fight until Jones was shot, hardly make Calzaghe an all time great

    Discuss.
    same here, i'd say that both were the best in their respective divisions, but both had pretty weak divisions (and i'm saying this after re-watching and analysing most of Tszyu's big wins), both were very good fighters, i'd hardly say great
    Eubank had plenty left, he put on one of his best performances against JC and then stepped up 2 weight divisions and had 2 epic battles with Carl Thompson. I had JC beating Reid and Nard. As for JC not making the effort to get the Jones fight, don't het me started on the fights Jones should've had and didn't!

    why is that not a surprise coming from you? and you mean the same Thompson who already had 4 losses when he took on an ancient Eubank? i'd dare say more people will say that Hopkins and Reid won the fights against Calzaghe, and on the Jones thing, who was the bigger name in their primes on an international level? that's right it was the man who was p4p king for most of his career, Jones Jr

    Why's that then?

    Am I not the person who said Hatton was not great? Did I not predict he would get stopped by Mayweather and Pac I think you're getting me mixed up with someone else son

    Yes but the weight issue with Chris Eubank has to be brought up, i agree Chris Eubank still did have quite alot left and it was a good win for Joe Calzaghe. But still Chris Eubank was weight drained and no matter what anyone says that does take some credit away from Joe Calzaghe.

    While we are talking about Chris Eubank vs Joe Calzaghe, does anyone else think Joe Calzaghe would of been knocked down if that right hand of Chris Eubank had landed earlier ?
