October 11th 1997: a LEGEND was born

****ing troll

 

21 "wbo" title defenses. AKA horse**** title

 

I thought he was in his forties.

 

Chris Eubank, best remembered for fights between 1990-93, with most arguing that he was never the same fighter after almost killing Michael Watson in 91. Defeated by Calzaghe 6 years after that, in 1997, after losing to Collins twice.

Bernard Hopkins, twice defeated by Jermain Taylor 3 years before Calzaghe and 43 years old when beaten by Calzaghe.

Roy Jones, KO'd twice four years before Calzaghe would face him, when Roy was two months from age 40.

What a legend.

 

How come a "legend" was born in Calzaghe when he beat Eubank but Eubank was past his best when Collins beat him?

 

Well Eubank became prime again so Joe win over him would be great:good

 

Great fight, I thought Calzaghe was excellent in his first 12 round fight vs an experienced legend like Eubank, Joe won at least 10 rounds... I knew then that JC was a special fighter.

 

Does that mean it doesn`t count or it does count ?.... because if it doesn`t then that pretty much makes Barrera a 2 weight world champion as opposed to a 3 weight champion since he was only the WBO champion at 122.... just saying.

 

Im sorry, what?

 

Great fight, was really impressed by the effort and graft of both fighters. Calzaghe was so hungry to become a champion, and he didn't stop coming for 12 rounds, which made Eubank uncomfortable. At the same time, Eubank put up a great fight, hitting Calzaghe with some big right hands, and showing good head movement and skill.

I know a lot of posters on here dislike Calzaghe and Eubank, but it was a great fight, well worth watching

 

Joe fans logic, he was past it clearly but JOe fans are doing everything to make the case that he wasnt past it so this win looks like a very good win for Joe. I was joking that he miraculously became prime again when he face joe

 

I get ye now.
