Most shot? Froch vs Ward or Eubank vs Calzaghe?

    What is this based off? Certainly not his performance against Calzaghe. Who finished the fight stronger? Who actualy looked to have gassed during the fight?

    I think this Eubank takes a close deicison from Froch in a war. Not unlike the Kessler fight.

    I would have been perfectly cordial had you not called me "A ****ING LIAR"

    My argument stands and you are simply not willing to budge when the obvious is staring you in the face.

    Eubank was training for 175lbs, ten days prior to the fight
    Eubank hadn't made 168 for 2 years and was above 175 in his previous two

    With more notice Chris could have given him even more trouble. Conjecture but there is every chance of it.

    Tragically I get married on May 3rd in Las Vegas. I know a few gay blokes if you want to try your chat up lines on them, buddy.

    I did not call you a ****ing liar.

    :roll:

    But you seem perfectly fine calling Eubank one when he says the weight wasn't the problem, getting shocked by Calzaghe's power in the first round was.

    This is too obvious and boring to even get into.

    Oh I see! You fabricated a conversation that never took place to strengthen an already weak argument?

    Let me ask you, what was Eubank meant to say? "Don't buy this fight because I'm going to struggle to make weight!" or damage his reputation by stating the same, post fight?

    Eubank saying there were no excuses is sportsmanship and nothing more. There is no way he was on top of his game at 168 and that is actually..... ****ing obvious.

    In last 6 fights prior to calzaghe Eubank lost to Colins 2 times, and beat 4 lets say journey man fighters, so iguess yes he was prime for sure, i mean many Joe Calzaghe fans say RJJ was prime so this does not surprise me.

    Eubank was passed his best but Joe still says it was his toughest fight so obviously wasnt shot.
    Do you know what shot means ?

    Beat me to it...but exactly.

    A shot fighter doesn't blow out journeyman and give a future great the toughest test of their career.

    A shot fighter loses to journeyman and fringe contenders he would have squashed at his best...

    THIS IS A SHOT FIGHTER...
