    The ‘Dark Destroyer’ still keeps track of the super-middleweight division and is unimpressed by Froch’s claims of greatness.
    Froch, a four-time super-middleweight champion, has previously said his career “eclipses” the achievements of Benn and Joe Calzaghe.
    Benn thrilled fight fans in the 80s and 90s, claiming 35 of his 42 wins by knockout, while former two-weight champion Calzaghe retired unbeaten in 46 fights and is the longest-reigning super-middleweight champion in history.

    Froch has had a better career but I think Benn beats him. The way he punches so wide up close is just begging to be countered by a Benn hook off the ropes

    Out of the 90s Brit Supermiddles, Benn might be the only one I pick Froch to beat.

    In other words, he loses to Eubank and Watson. Froch-Collins, that's close to being a pick em. Used to favor Froch, but after more thought, I think I'd favor Collins.

    I'd pick Froch over all of them, but not a lock over any of them.

    Despite Froch's resume, he never lost to anyone worse than them. They cannot say the same.

    Benn is the one I would always pick Froch to beat.

    Of Benn Froch and Calzaghe, Froch is the one I would always pick to lose to Collins, Eubend and Watson.

    Benn was my favorite of the bunch, I thought he nipped Eubank in the rematch.

    Eubank looked the most skilled.

    Collins beat both of them pretty easily, even if they weren't at their best, twice.

    Watson I never saw except his loss and maybe another fight or two and couldn't tell he fit into the conversation.

    Froch's results speak for him louder than his video.

    I wouldn't say Collins beat Eubank easily. They were tough fights.

    Froch vs Collins would be a close fight. I just think Collins was harder to hurt than Froch, and probably physically stronger as well.

    Collins was all wrong for Froch........he is harder to hurt, especially to the body and his chin is solid too. Collins could keep his hands moving and his activity is what would win him rounds. Look at the big fights Froch has won, Glen Johnson, Taylor, Pascal and Bute.....guys weren't coming back for long periods of those fights. Collins would always be giving Froch something to think about.

    With Benn......Froch is simply too big and too hard.

    Watson does a better job on Froch than Ward did.
