    lmao, thats some serious hating right there
    Nunn:

    Eubank:
    He turned down Eubank, his reasons were that Eubank had lost twice to Collins
    Calzaghe
    He asked for too much money according to Warren, also they wanted him to drop down to smw
    Collins
    Murad wanted Jones to fight Reggie Johnson instead of ollins, which he did

    Whoever you think is telling the truth
    He said that in his autbiography
    The Glen Johnson-Calzaghe fiasco does hurt Calzaghe case, on how serious he was to fight Jones imo.

    I agree, Jones chin was fine in his prime. The common theory is that taking that beating from Tarver , while being drained damaged his punch resistance.

    Does anyone here know what Benn had to say about the reasons why this fight never happened?

    Does he not know how to transfer the **** ? Who do we need to call ?

    Wonder if he also has the sparring session between ROY and Srl as well ?

    Oh yeah he found a way to weasel out that fight twice ..Though I honestly beleive Joe would have boxed circles around him it would have been as tough as the Bika fight imo ..

    :lol::lol::rofl:rofl Jim Lampley was taking no prisoners in this video. He asked all the questions us reputable, knowledgeable ESB posters have been asking all along. Experts like us, Rico and Anglo have absolutely thrashed all the deluded clowns in this thread. It's irrefutable. :deal
