Would a Carl Froch vs Joe Calzaghe fight be the biggest in British history? What was the biggest fight in British history?

Nah I can't see it, it would be nothing on the scale of, say....Lewis v Bruno or Eubank v Benn. They were pretty huge over here, you know, when you could watch boxing on TV (fuck I miss those days)
Depends if froch can beat one or two more champions convincingly.
Nah i don't think so. Be a very good fight but not quite on the scale of Benn -Eubank, Bruno - Lewis
Hatton - Khan would have a better shot imo maybe 12 months down the line.

About the two chicks in the picture. I have a birthday coming up if you're looking for a gift. Always been a big fan of British boxing. I thought Joe coming out of retirement to take on the young lion would be big. Guess I was wrong. I wish to thank all my British brothers for posting on this thread.
This fight could never be bigger than Eubank v Benn..Froch is a good fighter but he is'nt in the same league as Joe to make it a massive fight of such proportions!!
Hatton v Witter would ceratainly be up there tho!
I'm completely serious...this would be a massive fight in the British Boxing Calender!
At this moment in time both Hatton and Junior are out on a limb and in the wilderness...with Witter getting a shot at the WBC belt it could be a credible way of getting Ricky back in the mix if he wins it!!
It would certainly be a sell out where ever they fought and to suggest otherwise
It would generate massive PPV figures if not only for the reason Hatton fans would to see Ricky shut Junior the Fuck up...for once and for all.
This fight most definitely would'nt come second to seeing him fight Khan....no way..they would probably both be on a Par and generate massive purses...especially with the history of animosity between both men!!
Amir does'nt even come into the equation at the moment for me,regardless of what bullshit he has been spouting today he has'nt got the pull of a fight between two of the Countries biggest rivals!
wouldn't come close to eubank vs benn
no chance it would be anywhere near as big as benn v eubank, when those to fought over 10 million people watched it live which was what the england football team was getting during the world cup that year so that was massive figures for a local fight............no one gives a toss about calzaghe, even after the pac-man loss people where saying atleast hatton had the courage to go fight top guys in there prime unlike calzaghe, thats what reporters and fans where saying so no way would that fight be as big
Agreed wholeheartedly.
Benn vs Eubank was the fight that the entire nation stopped to watch.
You stop any random person in the street and ask them if they know Carl Froch. I will give you a 100 quid if you find anybody who knows who in the blue hell he is.
Calzaghe was also never as big as Eubank or Benn. I still think those guys did more for British boxing than JC. They garnered so much more interest. I don't know what it was - They were huge characters unlike bland JC.
Makes me nostalgic thinking about those days.
