I give Calzaghe relative credit for the Eubank, Brewer and Hopkins wins. That's it. I thought almost all of his stoppage wins were a crock of...
Where do you get that from? It was an atrociously poor division, relatively, for those 10 years (TEN YEARS).
Woodhall's shining night was against Branco. He never looked the same again after arm/shoulder injury troubles. I think after he won the title...
Are we forgetting that flat-footed Reid got schooled by rangey moving Malinga (who was about 40)? Or that upright Woodhall clearly lost against...
In other words, Calzaghe was SEVEN YEARS closer to his peak than Jones was to his. And in other words, both at their peaks, Jones was better...
Jones was at his peak against Merqui Sosa in my opinion. Calzaghe against Byron Mitchell. Sosa was a class above Mitchell.
Complete nonsense. Only Eubank, Reid, Sheika, Woodhall, Brewer and Mitchell were pre-Lacy.
David Starie, Robin Reid, Byron Mitchell and Richie Woodhall to beat Henry Maske at light-heavyweight? coughcougherroookkkcoughcough Calzaghe...
Castro would've beaten Woodhall down. Percy Harris maybe. Percy Harris would've bettered Starie. At light-heavy, Eubank would've beaten Hill but...
When did I say Virgil Hill was great? (Chris Byrd himself says he never fought Calzaghe as an amateur.)
The thing with Calzaghe is that he never fought any real proven champions in their prime. He wasn't prepared to travel to Germany to fight Ottke...
Virgil even beat Michael Nunn twice in Las Vegas in 1984 at the Olympic Box-Offs. He wasn't as good as Eubank. But I think Nigel Benn would've...
Who didn't he beat! Everyone from Bobby Czyz to James Kinchen to Frank Tate (x2) to Fabrice Tiozzo (x2) to Crawford Ashley to Henry Maske
:happy
Eubank-Watson II was the ultimate.
