    Technical draw due to clash of heads in the first.

    Prime Eubank would be too cute for Froch. Catch him with too many counter right hands on his way to eeking out a decision. It'd be a very close fight though and there's a good chance Froch out works him.

    I just can't make a case for Froch even able to make it relatively close. Carl struggles desperately with speed, of course (Taylor, Dirrell) and even more desperately with movement (Dirrell). Eubank had fast hands, quick feet and cat-like reflexes with ace-card lateral movement, and the sneakiest of right hands to boot. Carl's kyptonite I say.

    The Eubank that fought the second fight against Watson gets outworked by Froch IMO.

    Eubank by BUHUHRUTAL KO . . . .. well maybe not that bad but I think Eubank would stop him late on

    When it gets to the point where he cant jump over the ropes anymore he is automatically a grandad :deal

    The Exception of course being Naseem Hamed . . . . . then again I would pay to see that Fat ******* do a summer sault over the ropes

    Prime for prime, I'm with Eubank.

    Froch is a tough ******* and I rate him highly, but Eubank was one hell of a fighter. He was technically good, had a great chin, good footwork/movement, an underrated jab and like someone mentioned - a very sneaky right hand.

    Froch would be silly if he boxed eubanks with that hands down approach,eubans power is underestimated.

    Eubank would stop him.

    And then Carl would be talking in 3rd person in the post fight interview. Again.
