As the title says - a S/Middle UK Super 6 all fighters at they're prime, who do you have as winning (I think it's fair to say we all plump for the same 6 fighters to compete)BennEubankCollinsCalzagheReid FrochI see this being a tournament full of 'he beat him,but doesn't beat him' type scenario's... with the fight of the night being a one for the ages as a prime Calzaghe (i'll say night of the Lacey fight) blows through a prime Froch (Kessler 1 / Bute nights) I'd pip for a 6 round stoppage.
If this was a super six type round robin competition Calzaghe Benn Eubank Collins Froch Reid Would be how'd they'd finish
I see Calzaghe losing to Eubank and Benn inside the distance, and getting off the deck to beat Collins. I see him bamboozling Froch. Reid would counter Benn to a stoppage but lose every minute against Eubank. Benn would knock Froch out. I don't see Robin or Carl able to win the tournament. Most likely Collins to nick it!
Impossible to predict really. BUT I could see Calzaghe loosing to a prime Eubank. I cant see him loosing to Benn who's power wasn't as good at SM as it was at Middle. A prime Joe was awkward great chin great stamina and his own snap on his punches. Calzaghe would take Collins to the cleaners. A clear UD. Benn V Froch Jesus!Froch has stood up to everyone he's faced and taken bombs and barley wobbled. I can see him beating Benn but I wonder If Benns speed would be the difference in getting the win.
Calzaghe would overwhelm Eubank with work rate IMO, Calzaghes engine was phenomenal. I think Benn takes Joe out, Joe wasn't difficult to hit, and Benn was ferocious. If he can't, Joe again outworks him. Calzaghe/Benn/Eubank all wipe the floor with Froch,
He's been knocked down twice in his career! wow Benn was down a lot more than that and Froch still got hit by everything from them two and won the fight so it doesn't mean anything atschatsch
I'm bored out of my tiny little mind at work, so here goes based on watching at least 100 fights with these 6 in Stage 1 Fights Chris Eubank UD12 Carl Froch Joe Calzaghe UD12 Nigel Benn Herol Graham UD12 Steve Collins Stage 2 Fights Joe Calzaghe UD12 Chris Eubank Nigel Benn KO11 Herol Graham Carl Froch TKO10 Steve Collins Stage 3 Fights Chris Eubank UD12 Nigel Benn Joe Calzaghe UD12 Steve Collins Carl Froch TKO12 Herol Graham Steve Collins and Herol Graham eliminated on points Semi Final 1 Joe Calzaghe UD12 Nigel Benn Semi Final 2 Chris Eubank UD12 Carl Froch Losers Final Carl Froch TKO12 Nigel Benn Main Event Final Joe Calzaghe UD12 Chris Eubank Final Ranking 1) Joe Calzaghe 2) Chris Eubank 3) Carl Froch 4) Nigel Benn 5) Herol Graham 6) Steve Collins
If Reggie Johnson, Mike McCallum and Nigel Benn, all firing on all cylinders, failed to stop Collins, I struggle to see Carl doing it somehow. And would Carl even lay a glove on Graham for christsake?
