Calzaghe didnt outmuscle a semi retired Eubank. Eubank was able to push Calzaghe back, but Calzaghe had the footwork to back up make room and lay off shots. There is no question Calzaghe can get inside vs Ward, but that what Ward would want. Calzaghe, always needed room to throw his shots, he wasnt a counter puncher from long range nor was he a inside physical fighter from close range. Calzaghe was a mid range slugger that would look to outwork his opponent with his solid workrate/stamina.
Just shows that you really have no concept of boxing.atsch Soluja. Semi-retired 31 year old Eubanks that went on to beat (on some ppls card) Card THOMPSON for CW title the following fight....
Ward Polished, versatile, skilled, defensively sound, good variety, great-infighting. I thought he would win before the tournament. I'm more sure now, though.
no answer the first question you know the answer and if you don't your not a Calzaghe fan so you admit that Eubank lost fairly to Steve Collins before Calzaghe got to him? just to put things in perspective again i have already stated i think Calzaghe is a great fighter and in his prime id fancy him over ward, my point is that at 27 Ward has surpassed Calzaghe at 27. do you disagree with that?
That just shows your lack of boxing knowledge. Eubank went on to lose twice to Thompson, who aint on a Prime Eubank's, Froch's, Calzaghe's, Ward's, Kessler's.....Level. Thompson just known for his KO vs Haye, he wasnt all that anyway. Calzaghe always needed room to lay off his shots, and would need to outwork his opponent to get the room he needed. 42 year old BHop didnt give Calzaghe room for the first half of their fight and Calzaghe wasnt able to do much up until BHop tired. Man...Sakio Bika was out muscling Calzaghe.
Yawn two questions actually one you did eventually answer the first one no doubt after looking at boxrec. still waiting for an answer. your digging yourself an awful hole here.
Whats Collins withdrawing from defending his title vs Calzaghe got to do with the thread entitled:- Ward vs Calzaghe Stick to the topic regarding the clash in style between these solids SMW's.
Couple of questions for u kid. 31 year old Eubank (from calzaghes fight) Vs 34 year old froch (from wards fight) Who wins?
