I liked Reid because of his attitude, he came round when their wasnt really depth of class, Nardiello wasnt great, he lost to Malinga which is embarrasing as every other decent fighter beat him, benn lost the rematch but was a shell.

Reid had a good chin but even that deserted him by the time he fought Lacy, although the first knockdown came while Reid was turned away from Lacy and talking to the ref, after the ref shouted stop!! Lacy should have been disqualified.

Reid managed to drop Ottke on his ass and yet again his workrate let him down, he was treated unfairly in that fight, getting warnings for bugger all but still could have been busier in the last third of the fight, he could have gone on to be the only man to beat Ottke, as out of all the contraversial fights Ottke had this was the worste

I was gutted he fought Froch and gave him a name on his record, he could have had a decent warm up fight with Glenn Catley a few months before but Glenn pulled out of the eliminator so Robin got a staright shot, he needed some rounds, he just had nothing in that fight, Froch isnt that big a puncher at all

Years ago, I thought Calzaghe lost more than Reid wan and mostly because I couldnt stand Calzaghe and how much of a spoilt, arrogant prick he sounded but even Calzaghe wan me round by how after all those years after starting to look stale he totally pissed all over Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins and Jones, ok the last Two were past their best but their still having success after Joe beat em, so can be counted as good wins, dont forget, Joe wasnt young either or the fighter that could bang when he was younger.

Reid was a very likeable fighter and he was a decent scrapper but just didnt work hard enough in fights and I think he would have been up their amongst the best supermiddles but behind them, id have Calzaghe top then Eubank, Watson, Benn, Collins, Reid, thats all at their best
