Nigel wouldve been reduced to a punchers chance with Graham i agree, but thats like searching for a lottery ticket ( Joe-Lacy typical example ) Eubank was made for Herol, those sloppy leaps would of been countered with ease, Eubank would of been peppered with his chin out to dry and after 8, 9 rounds it would of been embarasing for Eubank fans to keep watching
You've not seen much of Eubank.

and Graham would of beaten Benn and Eubank on the same night
He changed his style after the Kalule fight remember, he attacked more and got hit more. Benn would of taken him out.
Eubank and Bomber Graham would of been absolutely fascinating, I don't know how it would of panned out.
and would give him a close fight right NOW
I heard he's sparring with Howard Eastman and Ryan Rhodes and still looking good, and winning unlicensed fights too. But I doubt his reflexes at 40-something are absolutely anything like what they were at his best (circa '81)..
Herol Bomber Graham would of beaten Joe in 98 if he didnt run on sand for the fight
I think he'd of been completely out-worked by Calzaghe. That's the last fight Calzaghe would of wanted anyway!
Herol Bomber Graham would of beaten Joe in 98 if he didnt run on sand for the fight. . .and would give him a close fight right NOW ( let alone the Bomber of 20 years bck who would of made Hagler look silly )

Benn
Eubank
Herol Graham
John Conteh
Watson
Collins
Minter
Kaylor
Sibson
Andries
and Calzaghe of course
Would U agree that Joe has surpassed them all?
Easily.
He's the best fighter out of that group hands down.

why didnt eubank just rject the fight i heard he had a fight scheduled instead of JC but changed his plans
I don't know, tbh. He signed a 10-fight deal with Frank Warren, the first of which would be against Mark Prince for the WBO Intercontinental light-heavy belt on the Collins-Calzaghe/Hamed undercard, the last of which would be against Roy Jones. I know Dariusz Michalczewski, Graciano Rocchigiani, Henry Maske, Steve Collins and James Toney were planned bouts for Eubank.
Eubank under-estimated Calzaghe, I don't think anybody told him just How awesome Joe was! He obviously thought he'd win the fight, and had already planned a bout against Sugar Boy Malinga in South Africa if he beat Calzaghe.

Didn't Joe fight Eubank for that WBO Supermiddleweight belt I heard that Eubank was old during that time though.
Eubank took the fight on 10 days notice, when Steve Collins wisely decided to retire instead of go through with the Calzaghe fight :)
Eubank had to lose 20lbs in seven days to make weight, and needed injections in his knee to mask the pain from a knee injury (he couldn't walk for weeks after the fight).
