      Also.. Mario Veit? He's a beer hall fighter in Germany. I know you didn't put him high... but c'mon.
      Veit beat Brewer and Salem and hadn't lost to anyone except Calzaghe until 2006.

      Lacy knocked out Vanderpool (something Hopkins couldn't do) and Reid (something Calzaghe couldn't do), he also beat two decent fighters Omar Sheika and Pemberton.

        Didn't he lose to Steve Collins twice? Was that a consequence of Steve being the better fighter or a sign that Eubank was on the decline? Either way, the Calzaghe win over Eubank wasn't as good as some make out.

          Styles make fights. Did losing to Ken Norton when Ali was 31 mean that Ali was finished? And most people fail to mention the Eubank win at all. I think putting him down for the first time in his career was pretty damn decent.
