    How has Eubank got a better resume than Froch

    What, all of a sudden Eubank would beat Froch. on what logical basis, it seems like Froch losses to any B level fighter pre 2005. What so Boxing has regressed???

    Also Eubank cherry picked, as did price naseem. Nigel Benn lost to steve collins and tom watson, he wasnt even the best in Britain. people say Froch was lucky against taylor, even though he was a split decision going into the 12th, and what about nigel benn. He was getting pulvarised ad literally beaten out of the ring by Gerald.

    Its funny how peaples nostalgia overates boxers especially all the robberies Eubank has had against b level oposition.

    It seems like the longer ago a fighter was active the better they become to lots of people. Just say any fighter fighting today was as good as Robinson or Leonard and watch all the hell you will catch. Say something bad about Langford or some other famous fighter of the early 1900s who was KOed about 13 times and lost about 40 fights and kept fighting the same guys up to 8 or 9 times and you will really catch hell. I know because it has happned to me. In any sport that can be measured like track and field or weight lifting records are always being broken by modern atheletes. In boxing all you hear about is how much better the older fighters were and how the best always fought the best. I have been following boxing for over 50 years and I think some of todays fighters are great. The best did not always fight the best and good fighters were often avoided just like today.

          The style match-up might be tricky for Froch. It doesn't really matter about resumes when they get into the ring with each other.

              Eubank has an underrated resume & would be a horrible fight for Froch.
              I could certainly see Eubank frustrating the hell out of Froch on his way to a decision win.

              I tend to find Eubank very underrated on these boards, by god was he a good fighter in his prime.

                Eubank was easily one of Joe Calzaghes top 5 wins, Joe even said himself it was the toughest fight of his career. Are you taking shots at Calzaghe? Are you calling him a cherry picker because Eubank is one of his best wins? Obviously you are because you just pointed out what a bum Eubank is.

                    Oh man, if Froch was a black man you'd be praising him as the GOAT wouldn't you, you little racist *****.
