    There is quite a big time difference between the Eubank fight and the Lacy and Manfredo fights :lol:

    Calzaghe was not in his prime against Eubank either.

    Indeed. There's been a depressingly long discussion about the Hopkins v Calzaghe fight in the GF as well.:patsch

    Really? People are picking Calzaghe over Jones prime for prime?

    Wasn't the whole basis of their fight about Calzaghe fighting the post-prime version?

    I think the Shieka and Lacy fights have shown that Jones was still pretty near his prime when he fought Calzaghe.
