I think that Froch would've beaten Benn and would've been too active for a 'post Watson' Eubank. 'Pre Watson' Eubank would've been very interesting.
Froch vs Collins would've been a war of attrition, but again I would see Froch winning
Calzaghe would've UD'd Foch imo.
I would have said all of this, before Saturday as well.
Of day if Calzaghe fought froch he would retire straight away due to froch hurting him do bad that he wouldn't be the same again but would get the win in a majority decision
Benn - this would've possibly been one the greatest fights in Brit history. Benn wins by TKO.
Eubank - a SD either way.
Collins - a MD either way.
Calzaghe - It would've been very reminiscent of the Bute fight. Overrated, protected, glass-chinned, scared to leave home southpaw against rough-and-ready, teak tough, world traveling warrior. Froch TKO 3. Fact.
;D @ Fenster.
I think Calzaghe would've likely beaten all of them, but as for the other 4 anything could've happened on the nights. I'd envision Froch having a better chance to beat any version of Eubank than the Benn who fought McLellan upon second thought, however. Collins imo wasn't quite on the same level as any of the others, though his style would match up very well with Froch so can't rule him out there.
Froch and Benn would have been savage, hard to imagine both men wouldn't have been badly hurt at some point. My first take was that Benn probably wasn't durable enough to beat Froch, but he was sooo dangerous while being attacked and probably hit a good deal harder, perhaps moreso than anyone Froch has fought as well.
Exactly ;)Quote:

Eubank - Pre-Watson I think Eubank takes a split decision. He was very durable. Just wonder whether he'd be active enough..but Froch has the same.problem.
Benn - Froch TKO. He may need to start a little faster..but he'll stand up to Benns shots..Benn won't stand up to his.
Collins - Froch UD.
Calzaghe might come out of retirement - How fucking huge would JC vs Froch be now?!
Who saw Calzaghe on Ringside last week?, you know he's thinking about!
He knows CF is starting to build a great legacy and he's worried he won't be remembered as the best SMW to come out of Britain.
Just remember you read it here first ;)
If I was froch I'd tell joe to get stuffed the same way joe did to Carl!!
Holding grudges is a must!!
Froch is on to bigger things than Calzaghe.
If I were Eddie I'd say joe you must fight ward and if you win then we get a huge unification at wembley
Calzaghe must be almost 40 by now? He relied on his fitness to compete and obviously had admitted to using cocaine and having some troubles coming to grips with being out of the sport. To come back after that and fight Froch without any tune ups strikes me as insane, but I suppose it's possible he's been keeping himself in great shape.
Joe beats them all at their best.
Benn was really a middlewight but imagine the Benn that beat McClellan fought Froch, that would be a war.
Eubanks at his best would beat Froch but that guy was gone after he beat Watson.
Collins is not in the same league with all due respect.

Calzaghe is done. He was done against B-Hop and Jones. He knows it and has admitted it. No way he comes back now - not a chance!!!
Froch V Benn outcome KO Froch
Froch v Eubank outcome Decision Froch
Froch V Collins Froch Decision
Froch V Calzaghe outcome Calzaghe Decision.
Benn could ko Froch too and Eubanks could beat FrochQuote:

Benn v Froch what a fight you could out box Benn , but could Froch out fight him edge to Benn, Collins v Froch I go for Froch to ko him. Eubank V Froch a draw.
And the master boxer out-boxes all of them.;D
Benn would run out of steam, and Eubank as much as i like himQuote:

Benn would flatten Froch, there's no way Froch take's Benns best punch. Benn got rid of tough guys like Barkley DeWitt.
Vs Benn. Put an open concept telephone booth in the arena as a ring and flip a coin.
Froch might prove too big.
Vs. Eubank. Just can’t see Froch winning this one. Would call this one wide on pts for Chris.
Vs. Collins. Ditto ^
Vs. Calzaghe. Too much speed and movement for Froch. Just a terrible matchup for him.
That 160/168 era with Calzaghe coming in at the tail end was unreal. 168 was a fairly new division at the time being about 10 years old. Jones was present, Toney, McCallum and even Watson
I like Froch and his warrior spirit anytime, anywhere attitude is refreshing is this overall pansy era. He’s a Ketchel like fighter of this decade in many ways as he’s an over achiever imo but his hump is that he needs the other guy to stand right in front of him like Bute did. I just dont see him doing all that well against the best in the div from its origin.
benn - very tough to call, KO either way
Eubank - would defiunately go the distance, hard to call a winner
collins - id lean towards froch as all collins big wins came against stars at the right/wrong times of their carears
calzaghe - joe UD
I like Frochs spirit but I think his willingness and that he sweeps punches at times would see him in a bad way with Benn. Benn actually boxed a bit late on and liked his punch speed to catch Froch hard and often after a back and forth start.
