It was more geared toward public perception than serious boxing chat, with Collins it seems that way

I would certainly say Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn overcame greater adversity than Calzaghe. My God if Joe was hit by McClellan's sledgehammer...
A disgrace to boxing
The thing is - the vast majority of right hands (we're talking thousands) that Calzaghe took in his career he actually saw coming a mile off... he...
He was being bashed from pillar to post in both fights (punches that would've taken down most other fighters in the div), why risk being stopped...

He didn't 'adapt' in the Brewer fight, did he. He just kept brawling right through when he could've outboxed Brewer due to faster feet and hands....
This was before the Calzaghe-Hopkins fight
Hard to argue with Bernard Hopkins.
Judge Paul Thomas had it about right... 116-111 for Calzaghe, and looking at his card he scored it the same as me apart from R2 even.
Bernard Hopkins himself has Eubank beating Calzaghe in that fight. I wouldn't go that far.
Scored it with no sound. 1- Calzaghe (10-8 ) 2- Eubank 3- Eubank 4- Calzaghe 5- Eubank 6- Calzaghe 7- Eubank (even at this point) 8- Eubank 9-...
