Ok with all this talk of Froch and his place in the ATG list, and then Steve Collins saying last night that he thinks Carl could have been successful in his era it made me think about just who would win a wishful thinking Prizefighter involving them all?!

We've got :

1. Chris Eubank
2. Carl Froch

3. Steve Collins
4. Joe Calzaghe

5. Herol Graham
6. Nigel Benn

7. Michael Watson
8. Robin Reid

I'm sure I've missed someone out that will annoy people but I only had eight places!

So how does it pan out?

Who wins and why? Fight of the night? :bbb

 

[Danny]

Are we talking Prizefighter format? Or an 8 man Super Six?

 

[Noonaldinho]

Eubank beats Froch

JC beats Collins

Benn beats Graham

Watson beats Reid

JC beats Eubank

Benn beats Watson (PF Only)

Cant pick a winner over 3 rounds !! Between JC and Benn as JC would stand and trade with Benn, and don't know if JC could discourage him.

Good call, I think Calzaghe takes it overall.

I would have loved to see Eubank and Froch, especially with Eubank and his attitude in the Calzaghe fight.

Benn Calzaghe, wow what a fight that would have been!

Id like to see Benn Froch !

 

[Michael300]

Id like to see Benn Froch !

My God that would have been a battle, toe to toe non stop.

Do you think Benn could have dropped Froch?

 

[Noonaldinho]

:yep

If Jermaine Taylor can put him down I'm sure Benn could.

 

[Michael300]

:yep

If Jermaine Taylor can put him down I'm sure Benn could.

:bowdown Good point! :thumbsup

 

[Danny]

I was gonna say I'd favour JC overall because of his output and fast-paced, busy style, but I wonder if he'd end up getting dropped early by the likes of prime Eubank and Benn like he has been dropped at times early throughout his career. A knockdown in Prizefighter is a massive hill to climb up from, and with JC's feather-fists if he gets knocked down he's looking at a draw at best.

 

[Scotty]

:yep

If Jermaine Taylor can put him down I'm sure Benn could.

Benn would have tore up the Froch of that fight but he's a much better fighter now.

Froch would have nearly no hope in a tournament like this. Despite how his last couple of fights have gone, he has been a notoriously slow starter for a large portion of his career and I really don't think he would be able to demonstrate his finer attributes over only three rounds. I reckon the Prizefighter format would suit Calzaghe's high output style to take the trophy.

I would love to see Froch-Benn though, but over 12 rounds.

 

[Scotty]

I think Herol Graham would be the dark horse in a Prizefighter.

8 man super six would have made a much better question

 

[GazOC]

:yep

If Jermaine Taylor can put him down I'm sure Benn could.

Thats a dodgy line of reasoning Noon.

 

[Roe]

Glenn Catley would beat them all. Just saying.

 

[doug.ie]

and collins is one of ours....you brits trying to take everything for yourselves

 

[Michael]

and collins is one of ours....you brits trying to take everything for yourselves

I don't mind him being included, in fact most of the legacy that Collins is left with is dependent on his relation with the Brit fighters that he fought in his career.

 

[Macca L20]

Froch pts Eubank
Calzaghe pts Collins
Benn pts Graham
Watson KO1 Reid
Calzaghe pts Froch
Benn pts Watson
Calzaghe pts Benn.

This is over three rounds, prizefighter format.

 

[Lilo]

With the prizefighter format anyone could win.
