    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.
    Benn & Eubank were bigger than Calzaghe because their fights were on ITV

    I see, so the money is not there for Joe to come out of retirement. I know that Froch has called out Joe. If I was Carl I'll keep my mouth shut. I've been to England 26 years ago and loved it. I wish I could live there.
