      I agree it was probably his 2nd most impressive performance at MW.

      It's not like Johnson was a bum even then (although he went into a career slump after the loss), he was tough, undefeated and a well-schooled boxer (now more of a pressure fighter) who was completely dominated by Hopkins from start to finish.

        and so do I.

        Eubank in the Cal fight >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tarver in the BHop fight.

        That said BHop resume >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Calzaghe's resume.

        Eubank is Calzaghes 2nd best win and tarver is Bhop's like 8th or 9th
        Let's see...Tarver was coming off wins over Jones and Johnson. Hopkins LEAPED a division to beat him.

        Eubank hadn't had a significant win in YEARS when Calzaghe met him. And didn't have any after.

              Kellerman was the only fool who kept on bringing up Roys prime and he wasn't lying. Max has always been a huge Roy Jones fan so you can't really fault him for that.

                Oh so Jones wasnt shot now? lol

                Tarver is simply not better than Eubank. At pretty much any and every stage of their careers.

                  Jones was ranked number 1 p4p when Tarver knocked him out.

                    When did I say he was shot when Tarver faced him? Ever?

                      The same Tarver that derailed Jones career. Remember that.
