    Eubank in his prime (Benn 1) would have done Froch in an absolute war.
    Eubank always struggled with good boxers i.e. Michael Watson beat him by 2/3 rounds in their first fight but got mugged by the judges to set up the ill fated rematch that should never have happened.
    Froch was not a particularly great boxer so it would have come down to heart and will.
    Just think Eubank would have had the edge in that department but fuck me what a fight it would have been

    I suspect Eubanks would have got inside Froch's head, wound him up until he was frantic and then been good enough to capitalise on his mistakes.

    Chris was much more annoying than Groves, and look what George did to Carl's head. He just wasn't quite good enough to capitalise.

    That apart, two teak tough fighters with great chins. Eubank would have tried to set his own pace, i.e. Slow. It would end up s total war.

    It really would have been a brutal war, when you think about it both fighters have been in the deep end and in some absolute classics and both have pulled wins out the bag in the championship rounds after climbing of the floor and taking hard beatings

    Froch v Taylor
    Eubank v Watson 2

    I'm as sure as i can be that it would have gone down in history as one of the greatest British fights

    I think different (although did not think about the mind games Eubank's plays to mess with Froch's head) I think Froch wins at supermiddleweight because he was the natural at the weight and Eubank was better at middleweight.

    Eubank was not as good at super middleweight and was 'past his best' after the wars with Benn and Watson.

    I think Froch wins in a war similar to when he beat the canadian.

    I think Eubank takes it. A battle of the wills. Eubank wins the battle of attrition.

    Don't forget that Cwis was just as susceptible to mental mind games. Look at what Collins did to him with the hypnotist blag It's a great fight and to be honest quite difficult to get behind either bloke when they both love the smell of their own farts but I think Froch may have edged it in a war of attrition. I know it was late on in his career but I think Calzaghe would have dished out the same masterclass with Froch as he did with Eubank. He may on the outside have looked a better boxer than Froch, but his chin hid the fact that he was not a fantastic boxer.
