1991-1992 Eubank vs Froch 2012 ?

[Vendettos]

Firstly, I usually hate these threads, but with tonight's Froch/Groves 2 it seemed fitting.

I watch CEJr giving Froch a hard time in sparring and it leads me to ask, what would his dad have done to him in his prime? He was a much, much better boxer.

Both around their peaks imo. Eubank was dominating MW and moving up to SMW in 1991-1992, while Froch was destroying Bute in 2012.

I'd pick Eubank to win a fairly one sided UD.

117-111 Maybe.

Eubanks did not like a hard fast pace and he hated body punching which froch would do. Eubanks had a monster right hand and great straight punches. So do not know who would win because both have great chins and it would be a tough battle.

[tysonesque]

Easy win for Eubank. He'd have completely messed with Froch's head as well.

Eubank liked fighters to come at him and Froch would duly oblige. Eubank just counters him all night long and takes a decision.

Eubank could be outhustled and slept on a few 'lesser' guys but he was just too thick for a wide & random Froch. Chin, accuracy and boiling a guy down, very cagey and had the pop to win.

I don't see to many people beating Chris in his prime or over a best of three. Maybe two guys. Roy and Joe.

Club fighter Dan Schommer beat a prime Eubank , Watson beat him in the first fight , the guy threw a right hand like he was knocking out a light bulb , over rated , great chin for sure but over rated.

Eubank had a very fragile psychology as demonstrated by Collins. He was spookable. All that front usually is just cover and unfortunately his son seems even more deluded than his Dad. Eubank Jr did not boss Froch in that sparring video and will come apart at the seams like a badly made toy as soon as he actually fights somebody other than the guy who delivers the gyms water bottles.

I agree it's a terrific match, pretty sure I'd pick Eubank on his best form, he was much less consistent than Carl so forget how good he was some nights. However, one things for sure, the gene pool couldn't lose in the event of a tragedy Two absolute first class jackasses imo. Eubank was before my time and there must be some reason he's well liked, but to listen to him now... Christ, I just feel like he should have things thrown at him on a regular basis.

Lol he is very annoying living vicariously through his son. He might be suicidal if the kid gets beat.

Obviously has the same tailor as Don Cherry. The dandy.
