Would Chris Eubank Go Through Joe Calzaghe's Resume Undefeated?

Thanks. :good

He'd knock himself spark unconscious on Eubank's granite noggin the instance he tried his billy goat tactics.

He hadn't done anything other than last the distance in a world title fight against IBF champion Sven Ottke. He was a late replacement for Thomas Tate. The Tate fight was supposed to have been a stepping-stone to set up a big clash against Hopkins but then Tate pulled out with a back injury and Pudwill stepped in at two weeks notice. I guess he was the best they could get at short notice. It was either fight him or pull out altogether.

 

Thanks.

That post wasn't just directed at atberry to be fair. It was directed at ALL the haters. lol

Yes people conveniently seem to forget that when trying to trash Joe. Just like they conveniently tend to forget he was fighting with a badly damaged hand from the 5th round onwards in the Reid fight, had only done 14 rounds of sparring for it, and was utterly riddled with chronic injuries to his wrist, elbows, and hand throughout that period of his career too, which really affected his training and performances in a couple of fights.

I'm sure atberry agrees with that deep down. lol

That made me laugh too. You can tell Eubank really doesn't like Collins. It was a good documentary, although it should've been an hour longer IMO. Jones came across pretty well, Joe was a little too quiet (he's actually always been a pretty introverted character believe it or not), Eubank was quite entertaining, but Collins came across as a massive dick. He kept butting in and hogging the airtime, a couple of times just when someone had posed an interesting question to one of the other guests, which of course we never got to hear the answer to. Richie Woodhall came across best of all IMO. He's always been extremely likeable and humble. In fact, they all came across as pretty humble with the exception of Collins.

 

I'll come back to this a little later mate. My eyes are really sore at the moment. Too much time on the computer writing long essays. lol

 

I suppose I was indifferent to Collins (personality wise that is) up until then. I didn't particularly like or dislike him. I must say I thought the hypnotist shenanigans in the first Eubank fight was a stroke of the finest crafty Irish genius and very amusing though.

Yes, Jones lost it there for a few seconds. lol. My favourite Jones' bit was when Collins said he didn't want to scare him off from fighting him. It's the way Jones laughed incredulously that I found amusing.

I don't know why Collins was being a bit arsey with Woodhall for asking what was a perfectly innocent question. He seemed to take offence to it for some inexplicable reason.

From the 10:02 mark.

It would've kicked off for sure if Toney was there. lol

He is a lot more relaxed these days, but when he was younger he was, despite how it may have seemed, pretty introverted and shy, especially on camera during interviews, where he'd sometimes appear a little awkward and uncomfortable.

Eubank is a funny one. Despite what he says, he's got an ego the size of a large planet. He's a very strange chap and a bit of a walking contradiction (in a good way though). He can come across a very humble, honest and gracious at times and yet at others you can see arrogance literally almost bursting out of the seems. lol. I like him a lot though. He's a great character and totally unique.
