I've got highlights of Calzaghe's career-defining fight so far (beating the legend of Brit boxing Eubank). The clips are of Calzaghe's best moments in the fight. Thanks to martinwbc for these clips 
The WBO super-middleweight title holder Steve Collins was scheduled to face the exciting up-and-comer Joe Calzaghe in October 1997, but just 10 days prior to the fight he pulled out and retired!! Chris Eubank stepped in to face Calzaghe for the vacant title, but Eubank had been retired for two years and had just seven days to somehow lose 25lbs bodyweight! Despite coming out of retirement and taking the fight with only a weeks notice, many still expected the wily old veteran Eubank to be too smart and cagey for the fresh, young prospect Calzaghe. But instead of freezing, Calzaghe exploded! It was an all-out war til the end! The hightlights in the clip are Calzaghe's best bits in the fight. There was this cool moment halfway through the fight when Eubank strangely looked upto the ceiling of the stadium and as Calzaghe went towards him Eubank caught him with a sweet uppercut, but unfortunately the clip doesn't quite show that bit.
Eubank said to Calzaghe before the fight "You had better be on your toes because if I land the first punch of the fight you will be knocked clean out. I'm tired, so I plan to finish it with the very first punch! I'm a tired man so this fight will not last long, I believe he is going down very early." Well let's see what happened shall we?

Remember what Roy Jones said in 2001?
Here's what Jones Jr admitted: "I'll never fight Joe Calzaghe cos' he's too dangerous.. he's fast, powerful, hungry, and he's unbeaten. I can make easier money fighting easier fighters."
