OOPS, muhammed by WIDE PTS, although he could (if anyone can) stop Froch. It would be a battering and I'm a big Frochy fan
IMO, this thread is a joke. If Eddie had his head on straight (and his training regiman on straight, he's a top 10 pvp all time great). A much, much, better all-time great than Michael Spinks, I'm open for debate on that. A Gregory (with his head on straight), could of whomped any MW/LH 100 yrs. ago and 100 yrs. from now....my $0.02
Thats a pretty big exaggeration... but a focused Eddie was extremely good. But would I pick a focused Eddie over Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, or Bob Foster? No!
Hey X; actually what I meant to say was that he would have been right in the middle of any scrap with any of the ATG MW's or LH's, not necessarily a win. Sorry, when I think of Eddie I always am reminded of the famous reverse quote: "Never has so little been done with so much!" :?
When considering what an aroused Eddie might have done, I think of how he ruthlessly hooked Mwale from behind, flattening him for several full counts. (His right had just blown Lotte's mouthpiece past the tenth row. Feeling his teeth unprotected with his glove, Mwale turned to go look for it. Eddie's follow up hook after he pounced forward into position was completely legal, and very reminiscent of the second undefended right Ingo nearly killed Patterson with in their first match. Being a true ATG though, Floyd actually got up.)
