    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.

    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!

    I can see Calzaghe beating Froch on points, but no way does he blast him out

    That was more a shot Kessler than a superior Froch.

    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,

    Froch didn't stand up to Taylor or Groves. And Benn's right was in a different universe.

    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

    :patsch:patsch

    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?
