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.

Ricky Hatton walked the face of the planet by a country mile though, with a pie and a pint.

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

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.

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

Re: so is he now scotlands greatest
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.
He was hard work.

So if Joshy boy gets sparkled in his next fight by a lesser fighter than peak Duran (that’s every fighter ever) - he’s the greatest? fornicate off. Prats.

He's 3rd best behind lynch and Buchanan, Arthur and burns were never anywhere near being considered Scotland's greatest anyway not sure why they've been mentioned
