Sorry Richard, but this wasn't a particularly big fight. It's ridiculous to claim that this was a 'huge' fight in England, it's absolutely ridiculous. Calzaghe is a no-name in England, and Eubank took the fight at a weeks notice.Originally posted by Richard McManusHis biggest win came way back in 1997 when he decisioned Chris Eubank in a fight that was huge in England -
I have to agree with Juy on this. It was no way as big as the Benn/Eubank fights.Originally posted by JuicyJuiceSorry Richard, but this was a minor fight in England. It's laughable to claim that this was a 'huge' fight in England, it's just laughable!
This fight really wasn't very big at all.Comment

Thanks for keeping me in check
I have to admit I don't particularly remember the fight but I know it was at end of Eubank's career. It was an oversight on my part.Originally posted by medium-deekI have to agree with Juy on this. It was no way as big as the Benn/Eubank fights.

Im from London and i'll tell that Williams vs Harrison received much more media coverage than this fight.
I don't know why but it weird cos now the only pay per view fighter we have is Hatton so you would think that a free unification fight would gain lots of attention but it just not the case.Comment

Calzaghe is a no-name, always has been and always will be. He might be a big name over in America, but certainly not here in England.Originally posted by da_realist1Im from London and i'll tell that Williams vs Harrison received much more media coverage than this fight.
