    that may be controversial for alot of boxing fans, but i feel that stylistically, Calzaghe would've gave even a PRIME Toney fits

    same suchg a busy work rate and unstoppable stamina i think toney would be waiting to long for calz to slow down n just get over whelmed. controversial but i take calzaghe over toney. also in his prime before his hands were fukd calzaghe had a good punch

    Yeah I tried to make them all 50/50

    Eubank would probably have the easiest nights work against Bute, no offence to Lucian I just think he is a step behind a prime Eubank.

    Eubank would Knock Bute out cold.

    Jones get's caught against G-Man.

    Toney would have to be on his A+ Game to beat Joe.

    Benn stops Ward.

    Quarter finals

    Roy Jones vs Gerald McClellan -- McClellan KOs Jones
    Chris Eubank vs Lucian Bute -- Eubank KOs Bute
    Joe Calzaghe vs James Toney -- Calzaghe widely outpoints Toney
    Andre Ward vs Nigel Benn -- Benn KOs Ward

    Semi Finals

    Winner fight 1 vs Winner fight 2 -- McClellan vs Eubank -- Tough distance fight where both get hurt. I pick Eubank though, he has the SMW resume thats proven

    Winner fight 3 vs Winner fight 4 -- Calzaghe vs Benn -- Tough brawl, but Calzaghe out toughs Benn and wears Benn down for a late stoppage

    Finals

    Winner semi final 1 vs Winner semi final 2 -- Eubank vs Calzaghe, Goes similar to how their original fight went. Calzaghe outworks Eubank for a tough but clear UD


    3rd Place fight

    Loser semi final 1 vs Loser semi final 2 -- McClellan vs Benn. Sadly this fight when it happend had a terrible outcome with McClellans injuries. Its a tough battle again, but I would favour Benn to survive some rocky moments to win a tight dec



    All guys at their prime.




    Bonus match up

    Carl Froch vs Sven Ottke -- Ottke closely outpoints Froch. People underate Ottke who was boring to watch but very difficult to beat. People overate Froch who I like alot, because he is known in America. Ottke fought in a tougher different era.


    I highly rate Bute and Ward but I think this era of SMWs is weak and if you remove those two there isnt much else
