his workrate was shambolic, but he did try hard against calzaghe and thompson
What a farse that was for Sky,its weird though that he STILL has his haters even after the Thompson fights(as you can see in this thread with Eninja),in his heyday he was the man everybody loved to hate in world boxing because he posed his way through fights and got away with doing bare minimum to keep his belt(while keeping up his arrogance),he went to portugal when he was 25 and got booed to pieces,went to germany and was spat at walking to ring and had coins thrown at him. But against Thompson he showed finally showed some guts and bravery again and won many friends those nights. Eubank was a conman before that,a good one at that,he played the villain briliantly. Eubank ran away with a pot full of cash to the bank,laughing at those fans who supposedly hated(eg secretly loved) his guts because THEY were the ones who made him rich through paying huge ticket prices in the hope of seeing him knocked off his perch,very very smart guy he was and lived his dreams for 15 years.
