Calzaghe lost at the Welsh ABA seniors to Michael Smyth in his first senior season. Stop posting inaccuracies. My mate won the ABA’s at 18. He’s not Muhammad Ali.

For the record I can’t mention Rick in the same breath as Joe Calzaghe.

So did you hold your breath when typing that? Like when trying to get rid of hiccups.

Had a long list of excuses. Too boring, not well known in America, doesn't have a belt, doesn't wanna give him a payday, doesn't like him, list goes on.
He was right with most. Why should he make someone a millionaire who'd spent years bad mouthing him.
To be respected in the sport he was obsessed with? He never beat a young prime powerful skilled opponent.

Ricky Hatton walked the face of the planet by a country mile though, with a pie and a pint.
As opposed to walking the planet with a monocle, jodhpurs and a bowler hat while avoiding James Toney, Roy Jones Jr. Michael Nunn, Sumbu Kalambay, Mike McCallum, Julian Jackson and Herol Graham like the plague.

The champions were McCallum and Nunn. Then Barkley, Benn and Nunn. Then Toney.

Jackson wasn’t allowed to fight here due to detached retina. Neither was Barkley for that matter.

It made no sense to face Kalambay, Jones or Graham for peanuts when they weren’t even in any of the 168lb top-10s in late 1991-1992.

Barkley would’ve beaten Eubank.

Rick in his natural habitation.

To be fair that hard-fought back and forth 12-rounder with Eammon Magee was a good battle of the pissheads. Magee might of taken him early if not for the referee.

He had glamour boy Gary Stretch to deal with at Olympia, with Gazza and Spandeu Ballet ringside. Amazing night. 10mill on ITV at 10pm on a Wednesday night!

Jackson was having eye surgery and out for a while. And Don King didn’t fancy it anyway, according to Andy Ayling. King didn’t become interested in Eubank until he came to Britain and saw how big Eubank was here, and once he showed up with a monocle that was as it; King had his man or so he thought

Another thing Eubank said regarding fights with Jackson or Nunn in Vegas in 90/91 (JJ) or 93/94 (MN) was he wasn’t an undercard fighter - he was a main event fighter, and he’d only be on Mike Tyson’s undercard as main supporting act; nobody else but Tyson he’d have above him

He was hard work.

You’ve yet to post anything of any intelligence or significance - ever. You likely have learning disabilities?
