    I now realise why a lot of yanks hate on Calzaghe

    Because most of them totally underrate his win over Chris Eubank, I had someone earlier telling me Carlos Baldomir beats a Prime Chris Eubank P4p and so does Adrian Diancu.



    Educate yourselves boys and girls and then you wont underestimate Calzaghe's resume so much.

    When you've got to hype up a win that's almost 11 years old, that's pretty bad, don't you think. Eubank was a very good fighter, and at 31 he wasn't exactly old, but he was starting to slide. He'd had only two fights in the two years prior to fighting Joe and hadn't held a belt in more than 2 1/2 years. Joe fought a lot of decent fighters, but he waited until he was old before he fought any pretty good, prime fighters, so we'll never know how good he really was. But don't make his resume out to be more than it is.

      A 1993 Eubank would not have lost to a 1997 JC. As far as the Baldomir line, it is not even worth a response.
