    Hearns was far better than Eubank in every department other than his chin, Chris was never in at this level.

    Hearns UD. But, every moment of the later rounds would be a nail-biter, wondering if Hearns would get sniped out by a fortunate shot by Eubank.

    Eubank by a comfortable decision and wouldn’t be surprised if he stopped Hearns after 6+ rounds. Hearns is a great but his greatness at MW SMW and LHW gets a bit overstated IMO

    I don't like Hearns here. Eubank could bang and Hearns couldn't take one. Hes an ATG 147 and 154 but not 160, I think Eubank's chin is underrated as well, Hearns definitely could win and convincingly too but I think like Chris to land his money punch around 7/8 whilst being considerably down on the cards

    Pre Watson fight Eubank has a chance at stopping Hearns, post Watson fight Eubank loses wide UD.

    Eubank has 1337 stamina and a heck of a chin, he's pretty good in almost every other department as well. Maybe if he'd met Jones, Toney or a couple of the other yanks we'd have a more formulated answer, even so Eubank has a pretty strong resume at middleweight, strong enough for me to back him here at least.

    I agree entirely. And I also think Eubanks was a great fighter. He would stop Hearns. I tell ya, Hagler-Eubanks would be VERY interesting.
