    Yeah, he was pretty good actually. Bit of a step up from Glenn McCrory who seems to be becoming completely unintelligible. Too much time hanging out in the Tyneside irish centre, Glenn? :hut:

    Yup. And Eubanks would have been competitive against those three anyway. Benn probably less so.

    You are an actual imbecile, so what you think of me is completely irrelevant.

    I just don't see it happening. I don't think it sells. I know Froch has a voluntary next, but he won't fight Degale. Look at how much money he made from fighting Groves. He'll not get near that for fighting DeGale, unfortunately.

    I think once Froch decides to vacate the IBF belt, Chunky will fight for the vacant strap then face Groves again in a fight that will sell very well and make both guys some good money. Froch will fight in America against Chavez Jr I think.

    Benn's problems were exacerbated by a lack of size. Benn was really a smallish 168lbr. He could bang with the best of them. I would say Benns loss to Watson had an awful lot to do with inexperience and stupidity. Watson was of course a superior boxer and probably the best boxer of all of them, but Benn made life hard on himself, trying to impress his Norf Landan pals in that stupid Finsbury Park venue. Finsbury Park, seems to be the lost and found of morons. Apparently Benn stayed up all night getting his hair done before the Watson fight. Then he was overweight before the first Eubank fight.

    Benn was a real enigma. His win over McClellan sticks out like a sore thumb. It seems Benn was the sort of guy who was destined to lose where he was tipped to succeed, and destined to succeed where everyone picked him to lose.

    Benn and Watson will be unfairly remembered as the guys who lost to Eubank, but Benn and Watson did something Eubank didn't do, they fought internationally and fought the best international fighters. Eubend never really traveled or fought the cream like they did.

    That's why I love Collins wins over him. Eubank went on the road and got spanked by a guy who, like Benn, had fought a lot of very very good American fighters.

    In many ways it is easy to see why Benn and Froch will always be more popular than Eubanks. Eubank might have beaten them both, or had the beating of them both, but Eubank never went looking for it against the very very best. His late heroics against Carl Thompson redeem him somewhat.

    I thought Mitchell was struggling until he got the job done.

    That's okay so. You seemed very angry with Groves, like you bet on Groves with the missus and loser had to make the bed or something.

    Anyone with 2 eyes should be able to tell clearly that Eubank was not the same after Watson. He was more preoccupied in the ring, and pulled his punches to some extent.

    To some extent sure. But instinct would have compelled him to let rip at times. When he did, against Collins, he had mixed results. Eubank used to get tired and hope his big right hand bailed him out. It didn't that night. And I am sure he absolutely wanted to KO Benn in the rematch.

    I'm sure at times his instinct did take over, but overall he was simply nowhere near as effective a fighter as before.

    Ehhhh......no. Chunky has done fuck all. It's like a guy who died climbing Everest being described as inferior to a guy who plans to, maybe, someday, assault Ben Nevis. Via helicopter. On a fine day.

    I think Chunky definitely has a good chance of beating Groves again.

    Na man, Pink Kitten kid has to go to the back of the queue now. He's had his shot(s). I think under Hennessy on Channel 5 DeGale was wasting away and unmotivated, his performances showed that. A happy Chunky on the big stage again looked like he was getting back to his best (shit stoppage aside):

    Chunky is a stylistic nightmare for Froch

    If the queen of England and Kate Middleton both laid a shit, The two shits could sell out Wimbley stadium. Brits are easily entertained by mediocrity. Fact is Ward would destroy both these guys on the same night.
