    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.

      This fight really wasn't very big at all.
      I have to agree with Juy on this. It was no way as big as the Benn/Eubank fights.

        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.

          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.

            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.
