    Given the fact that you have championed Eubank as vastly superior to Calzaghe I would advise you not to start posting throw away comments about how bad Joe looked in the odd fights here and there, since Eubank pretty much made a career of fighting weak opposition and doing just enough to win and looked terrible in several of those fights - like against Schommer or Close.

    Any idea who said this Bullshit24/7 aka atberry?

    ''He's 40-0, and he's the longest-reigning world champion in the whole of boxing. He's held the WBO super-middleweight title for eight years now, and during that time he has beaten former WBC super-middleweight champion and Olympic medalist Robin Reid, former WBC super-middleweight champion and Olympic medalist Richie Woodhall, former IBF super-middleweight champion American Charles Brewer and former WBA super-middleweight champion American Byron Mitchell. He hasn't lost since 1990, he won three ABA titles at three different weights. He's accomplished a lot so far, and wins next year against Tarver and Lacy before retiring would throw him into the HOF and make him a true legend.

    Joe has been by far the best in his division since Roy Jones Jr. WBA and IBF champion Sven Ottke barely scraped past Byron Mitchell in a boring, very close fight. Calzaghe then wiped out Mitchell in much more impressive fashion, Mitchell said "I've never been hit so hard so often", and said that he'd be putting his money on Calzaghe if he met Ottke. WBC champion Marcus Beyer lost five times to Mario Veit (who Joe wiped out in one round, and beat in six in his backyard), and Beyer got a gift decision against Richie Woodhall (who Joe wiped out in much more impressive fashion). Woodhall said that Beyer doesn't deserve to share the same ring as Joe. So what more can Joe do?? Roy Jones Jr was too scared to fight him, Bernard Hopkins was too scared to fight him. Calzaghe has beaten every guy who has been put in front of him, every last one of them who has had the guts to share a ring with him. He's actually beaten every man he's ever fought, amateur or pro. Give him his dues.''

    Not as bad as Eubank against that fat blob Schommer.
