    I'd say Froch.

    He's ALWAYS fought the best fighters in the division, and cleared up domestically with KOs over Magee, Dodson etc.

    Benn, Eubank etc didn't face the likes of Toney, Jones etc, and of course Watson was ruled out due to the serious injury.

    Calzaghe had the talent in his locker but during a ten year reign at 168 only fought about four decent fighters, plus a hyped American in Lacy, before toppling Kessler and then beating Hopkins.

    H2H, Calzaghe would beat Froch for me, he's way too good at fighting in close, and Froch loves fighting too much to discipline himself to try and beat Calzaghe on the outside.

    Froch has proven more than the others, but it's debatable whether he'd actually beat any of them. Watson would make him look like a journeyman for as long as it takes to bang him up and get him out of there.... Benn would prevail in a war and Eubank would probably counter him to a clear decision.

    Froch vs Collins - get me a ringside seat. Think Collins wins that one too.

    No offence, but I had no idea who you were on about until I read through this thread. That Apathetic guy really does talk some sense, I wish there were more here like him.
