    Calzaghe wins even in Eubank's prime.

    Eubank has been outboxed by lesser fighters than Calzaghe and he has NEVER liked working at a pace, because he does not condition himself correctly.

    Eubank's power used to bail him out a lot of the time, but against Calzaghe that would not be the case.

    Calzaghe UD

      I think Calzaghe would have won, Eubank was always a pace setter, he never really liked his opponents fighting at a high pace which is what Calzaghe would do, Calzaghe by decision.

          I agree. Both Eubank and Benn would have had chances, though, and I can't see JC KO-ing either. I'd say 60% chance Calzaghe UD, 40% Eubank (or Benn) KO.

            Yeah Eubank reminds me of Jermain Taylor he is a pace setter too and he has bad stamina like Eubank.

              Indeed, Eubank was better at doing it though, he made opponents weary of punching at him because of his defense and counterpunching, Taylor mainly relies on his jab.

                    Yeah...Eubank had better reflexes than Taylor too and obviously a grannite chin.

                    I believe Taylor does actually contdition himself correctly i just think he has bad stamina naturally where as with Eubank it was a case of him not conditioning himself correctly.
