    Chris Eubank. He always maintained that money was his only motivation and he had no interest in legacy.

    On a number of occasions, including on the OTG radio show.

    No. Froch doesn't even watch his rivals in the division. He finds out about the result a couple of days later and then he maybe watches a bit of it if he feels like it.

    Get a grip son, he could tell you Calzaghe's inside trouser leg measurements let alone the details of his fights.

    Maybe that explains why he fought so many bums during his WBO reign.

    Lennox Lewis loved waffles more than boxing. I think he owns an IHOP somewhere up in Canada.

    ???

    That's absolute rubbish. You can't force or expect someone to like something just because they're good.

    Eh, based on interviews and guest color commentary he seems to be a student/fan of the game and pretty knowledgeable.

    I think Charles Brewer maintained he did it for the money only etc. Just as well, because i dont think he could of made a legacy for himself anyway. Dude was getting his ears boxed off by a 35+ year old shot Herol Graham.
