    Prime pre-Watson Eubank would beat both of them comfortably.

    Eubank is a fairly big guy. Bigger than Groves I reckon, but not as big as Frock who does indeed seem like a very big super middle. Looks like a decent sized light heavy to me. Having said that, I was really surprised on that interview type thing Slice posted, Slappy Joe looked the same size.

    I think you're right, Groves really is special needs.

    It looks like a kitten in a frilly skirt holding a nutcracker, no less. If this was America and Groves later went on a shooting spree those tats would be counted as warning signs.

    Yeah, Calzaghe's pretty huge too. Didn't he have a 16.5" neck or something, it looked about as thick as my thigh. I bet he's about 15 stone now too and wouldn't seem remotely fat if you met him

    The same Steve Collins who went 12 round with Mike McCallum and finished the fight punching harder, and McCallum called him the "Toughest Son of a Bitch I Ever Fought"...he went 12 with Kalamby and Reggie Johnson.

    Collins would beat Froch.

    There is also the somewhat-suspect notion of Eubank not being the same post-Watson and Benn being definitely shopworn before he fought Collins.

    Collins was a hell of a fighter. He was tier B at a time when Tier A was guys like McCallum and Co.

    I see Collins-Froch as basically a 50-50 fight.

    Donaire got lucky. He was in a tough fight and the knockdown saved him.

    The cut was bad but he seemed out of sorts and was getting hit before the cut.

    Donare is such a weird fighter. Sometimes he looks elite, and sometimes he looks pretty scrubby.

    Lazcano was never jobbed. And was never going to take Hatton out. Referee made life easier for Hatton but never saved him. Tackie..hurt Hatton once and was never on the cusp of victory. You are reaching son.

    Gotta be honest, I've never even seen Walters fight, but I generally like Jamaikuns - so I'm a check him out.

    Or the Lewis vs Grant fight, in the USA, or the Wlad vs Peters fight, or the Ali vs Frazier fights, or just about any fight where illegal spoiling tactics were at play.

    Same here, partly because Donaire was becoming overrated, and partly because it was a pathetic showing from him, and a masterclass from little Gondo.
