    When he was 43, the Calzaghe fight was his biggest fight. He didn't have Oscar to fall back on.
    We'll have to agree to disagree.

    Again, I've read a number of links where he turned down the three fight contract, because of an issue with King's split.

    I've also read links where Bernard had said that he wasn't interested in Joe's WBO belt, and if he'd have moved up to 168 and beaten him, he wouldn't even have defended it.

        he did have some power in his early days, he floored Eubank and eubank has stated in multiple interviews that it was a very hard punch

        his hands fell to bits though and he started slapping a lot more in the second half of his career
