    Chris Eubank: 5/10 He was old.
    Jeff Lacy: 8/10 He did good against that scary guy.
    Mikkel Kessler: 9/10 Great boxing match Kessler was no pushover.
    Bernard Hopkins: 6/10 Not exactly prime Bernard, but Calzaghe wasn't very prime either.
    Roy Jones Jr.: 7/10 Purely for entertainment value. Seeing Calzaghe showboat against old Roy was pretty fun to watch.

          Hopkins had success later but prime Bhop would've possibly beaten Calzaghe.

            You gotta give the guy credit. He lost almost all his power after the hand incident and was still winning fights, albeit by decisions.

                  Sure he got the bigger fights later in his life but I really like rewatching his fight with Trinidad. He seemed a lot slicker than he did against Calzaghe. Who knows though. Maybe Calzaghe was that good and I'm just talking out my ass.

                    Eubank was AGE 30 when he fought Calzaghe.

                    THAT'S NOT OLD. "OLD" is just an excuse to discredit Calzaghe.

                    Eubank was very overrated, Calzaghe was simply a much better fighter.
