    The eubank that stepped in the ring against calzaghe, lack of preparation or not would have given froch hell, not to mention a prime reid, and brewer.

      bute also knocked out salem in his very next fight after he almost ko'd calzaghe.
      I still don't know how people thought reid won that fight...I just have never seen it, it was a below par performance from calzaghe, I think he underestimated reid like ricky hatton with eamon magee, but he still outworked him in the championship rounds

        Never was a war. If it happened Froch would have been UD's handily. He's in retirement and Froch can't shut up about him. Joe owns Froch.

          the eubank that fought calzaghe probably would make a great fight but i see froch grinding him down and possibly the ref stopping it. eubank was knocked down everytime he faced the best fighters in his career calzaghe, collins, benn, watson all decked him and i see froch doing the same.

          prime reid probably beats froch by decision but might get robbed and the brewer that fought calzaghe was very faded and would probably be knocked out quickly like he was against echols right before he fought calzaghe.

            Why are you giving Calzaghe props for once?

              reid used lateral movement and straight rights to win the fight. he definitely landed the better punches throughout but it was close. outworking means nothing to me unless you are landing. even the pro calzaghe announcers who were predicting an early calzaghe knockout over a faded reid scored the fight a draw at the end and they gave some rounds i scored for reid as 10-10 rounds.

                not really giving him props cause i think reid did beat calzaghe but if reid uses the same strategy he used against calzaghe i see him beating froch just like dale westerman was beating froch 6 rounds to 2 on my scorecard before the terrible stoppage by the ref.
