    What fighters of today would you say would fit in best with the fighters of the earlier half of the 20th century?

    I would say Derek Chisora certainly has to be up there. Tough as old boots, fights the best guys he can get into the ring with him, he gives it his all every time, but he doesn't really seem to care that much about winning or losing, and he doesn't seem to care all that much about money.

    Lemieux. He would be way happier had he fought in the 50s.

    I always felt like Froch was like a classic fighter in a modern era.
