    Beat an old Eubank ---> 10+ years of fluff ----> beat (didn't destroy, either) an even older Hopkins.

    There're two extremes to take when looking at many issues. This is one extreme.

    Yeah, don't forget he beat a C level fighter in Kessler to unify the division.

    32 year old Eubank....Calzaghe is 36 and beat an American legend on his home turf at his desired weight, beat Kessler, Reid and destroyed the much hyped Lacy......

    bs. Kessler ain't fluff. Lacy was not fluff either.

    Remember all the group sucking of Lacy's dick around here before the fight? All you homos raving about how big his biceps had been and stuff.

    Calzaghe is a great fighter. His fights against Kessler and Lacy can't be discounted. I know brilliance when I see it in the ring.

    Tonight wasn't his normal brilliant performance, though.

    Please legitimize Kessler and Lacy's non-fluffness. Who did they beat? Beating Calzaghe would have legitImized them as fighters in contention to take on the top tier fighters.

    The truth is that if they would have beaten Calzaghe they still could have stepped up their competition. The fact that there were (and still are) steps above Calzaghe is proof enough that he's not a top dog.

    Forced the decade's most boring fighter to retire maybe. That deserves eternal credit.

    You know what, **** it. I'll revise it and see things your way.

    Beat an old Eubank ---> 5+ years of fluff ----> beat a guy whose biggest win was against Robin Reid (**** it, choose any other of his opponents)----> beat a guy whose biggest win was against Anthony Mundine---->beat (didn't destroy, either) an even older Hopkins.

    Is this better?
