    I don't think Eubank is active enough.

    Calzaghe, close and clear UD.

    I agree that Eubank wouldn't be active enough. I also feel that there is a possibility that Calzaghe could force a late stoppage as he very nearly did against Lacy, if Joe could force a pace that Eubank struggled to live with, like Michael Waltson very nearly achieved in his second fight with Chris.

    I could see a scenario that Calzaghe stops an exhausted Eubank very late.

    Tallies with my view. It would obviously be a lot closer than their real fight though.

    Even though this would be a middle vs a supermiddle, I'd still back Eubank to win comfortably.
