      See the Eubank-Calzaghe fight.

      Eubank was being filmed afterwards, walking back to the dressing room.

      Eubank: "Great fighter. Now I see why Collins didn't want to fight him."

      Basically, Steve Collins crapped himself and ran.

        big risk? calzaghe fought absolutely no one in his career at that point(still hasn't really). his pro debut was pretty much against eubank(the same eubank who never won another fight in his career). he was knocking over so many stiffs(with his devastating power that he never uses anymore) that the taxi cab union got pissed off.

          yea and eubank was shot and never won another fight in his career. he would think tocker pudwill was a great fighter at that point.

            Troll, stop embarrassing yourself. Eubank gave Calzaghe the hardest fight of his entire career, including your beloved Hopkins.

            Eubank gave Calzaghe such a brutal fight that Calzaghe was unable to walk in the following days. He had to be carried to the bathroom to take a piss. For ****'s sake.

              Dude, he was about 20 or so fights into his career. WTF do you expect? Take a look at most fighter's pro records. They haven't beaten anyone significant by this point.

                Just ignore him mate. He just wants attention and with him lacking the intelligence to put forward decent points he decided to be a troll.

                      i think you are too ****** to understand my point. my point is most mandatory's are rejects who have built up records and don't deserve a title fight in the first place. calzaghe looked exactly like that so why should collins fight him. he already beat an old benn and eubank. legacy sealed right?. why fight some young up and comer who actually has a chance? wow this sounds so familiar. is a win over this untested taxi cab driver gonna do anything for collins? i bet steve didn't realize calzaghe would "rule" the super middle division with 21 title defenses of an unrecognized wbo belt.
