October 11th 1997: a LEGEND was born

Because he became unshot...duh

Just like Cotto, cotto was shot when PAC fought him but he became unshot when Floyd fought him.

Calzaghes win over Eubank was just as good as any win RJJ had in the 90s... Oh yeah, I forgot RJJ fanboys think roys win over a green and unknown B-hop actually means something LOL. Calzaghes win over Eubank means nothing, but RJJ's win over a green and unknown B-hop is a great win!

 

46-0. No blueprint. That is all.

 

I was at that fight, ironically i was cheering Eubank on but got to echo knockout artists' comments, it was a great fight where both fighters went for it. Eubank had trouble with Calzaghe's workrate but definitely had his moments in the fight, non more so than in the last minute of the last round where he had Calzaghe rocking.

 

What you fail to mention is that Eubank moved up two weight divisions after his loss to Calzaghe and lost a split decision to the best Cruiserweight in the world, and then lost by TKO in the rematch, after being up on all three scorecards.

You also forget to mention how Hopkins beat Tarver and Winky Wright after his losses to Taylor, which could have gone either way. And after he lost to Calzaghe he beat Kelly Pavlik and Jean Pascal. Age means nothing.

Roy is the only one I'll give you credit for, but it's stupid to pretend like Calzaghe's wins over Eubank and Hopkins aren't very good wins.

P.S - Calzaghe hadn't reached his prime when he fought Eubank, and if anything, he could have been slightly past his prime at the time he moved up and fought Hopkins.
