    He wouldn't beat Ward that's for sure. Other than that, yeah a peak Eubank would have a very good shot at most of the super middles. But he would have his hands full with plenty of them, and it is not a given that he would beat someone like Froch.

    :lol:

    Well I mean I'd pick Eubank but the reality is that Froch is awkward, would pressurise and can take a shot. Benn gave Eubank all sorts of problems and yet had more vulnerability that Eubank could exploit. Collins beat a past his best Eubank and Froch brings similar attributes to the ring. He cannot bang like Benn but he hits hard enough to have an impact, has better reach and wouldn't be hurt or slowed down by one or two hard, well placed counters.

    Ward would simply have too much for Eubank. Too fast, too tight defensively, able to fight in close and judges distance well.

    Or the fact people forget that Collins was also past best when he fought Eubank and OLDER than him!

    Dont mention the war though:tong

    Froch is a massive styles make fights boxers though - you never know how hes going to look against a fighter

    Your right about Ward - I think he beats most in the history of the division by finding a gameplan to win - In really boring fights

    Is he coming back ?

    Or was that just a gimmick headline to draw more attention to Jr.'s career ?

    Having watched his son fight a few times now I can see where he's coming from.
