    Eubank hadn't looked good in years and wasn't in the top 10 at 168. Plus his 2 remaining fights after the Calzaghe loss show how much he had left, I don't even rank that as a good win.

    The other 4 you said I woul consider his best wins though.
    So who do you think should take the last spot? Veit?

      1: Kessler
      2: Hopkins
      3; Lacy
      4: Eubank
      5: Reid

      Lacy might look bad today, but at the time it was a great outclassing win.
      That's kind of the same argument of a Pavlik fight. At least Pavlik would make his 4th or 5th best win like Lacey because just like Lacey at the time Pavlik was on top of the world and even after the Hopkins beating, he'd still be fighting the middleweight champion of the world. Definitely a more live win then Roy JOnes.

      Becuase even the Kessler win isn't looking too hot right now the way Ward handled him pretty easily fighting dirty or not. And if he loses to Bute that could be bad.

        Evidently he had something left since he gave great accounts of himself challenging for the cruiserweight title. Arguably won the first Thompson fight

          probably Mitchell, imo. maybe Bika or Brewer.

            well, he was already kind of retired and also was going through hell to make weight. which is why he moved to Cruiserweight directly after.
            not to discredit Calzaghe, but Eubank had a lot going against him in that fight.

              I went with roy jones cause other than hopkins and james toney, he didnt beat any great fighter in his prime. mccallum was past it.
              calzaghe also belongs high on that list

                Well Ruiz, Hill and Tarver makes 5 wins that are not that bad IMO.

                  um. Hopkins and Toney are pretty ****ing excellent wins though, eh?

                  and what about him moving to HW and beating Ruiz? and Hill and Tarver were very good wins as well.

                    I was refering to Supermiddleweight.

                    But he lost both fights to Thompson, IMO.
