      Geoff, I'll handle this one...











      Nigel the fighter is not Nigel the pastor.
      Learn that, brother.

          Get mad about what?

          Calzaghe would of found Benn's dodgy jaw and been far too busy for Eubank. I think Jones would of taken him out though..

              **** off.
              The only reason why Eubank didn't finish Calzaghe besides being old is flashbacks of Watson. Young 'Bank stops Calzaghe .

                  Eubank was asked a few years back how he thought he'd of fared against Calzaghe if it'd been five years earlier and he said "Probably stopped him, possibly knocked him out, but I wouldn't of beaten him on points.. I'd of bashed him up abit more though."

                    Nigel had a bigger chance than Jones, Eubank and Collins.

                    You could never count him out, he hit harder and faster than Lacy, and even though he had a lesser chin, he was dangerous at anytime as long as he was on his feet.
