    Just saw a thread asking who would win between Eubank Sr in his prime and a prime GGG and I was shocked because Eubank was never in at that level, how would he fare v GGG`s title opposition at? I feel Canelo would have toyed with Sr at 160 and all his opponents during middleweight career.

    Jacobs would have landed a lot on Eubank, his balance was bad.

    Perhaps but I do not see Jacobs as being better at anything as a mw than Watson or Benn and eubank handled both. I wouldn't be confident picking ggg over either

    Canelo wouldn't have toyed with Eubank.

    "toyed with" is one of Marks clichéd comments

    Canelo would never have had it easy with Senior
    I dont think he could knock him out for starters

    He would never have got through Canelo`s high guard and ate a lot of counters Canelo is a master counter puncher.

    In what way was he a beast? He ate a lot of shots and missed tons.

    GGG would have destroyed Watson the same way McCallum did, he would have destroyed his body, Jacobs is bigger than Benn and Watson were as is a lot stronger than Watson was, his chin would have handled Eubank`s power better than Watson`s did.

    Eubank was world class and extremely tough.

    His biggest flaw was a lack of work rate at times.

    Whilst I could see Canelo winning, saying that he'd have toyed with him is a gross exaggeration.

    I don't even think a prime version of Roy Jones could have toyed with him.

    How you're still allowed to post here I have no idea. You defy belief. I can only assume you're autistic?

    Ggg was nowhere near the boxer or body puncher McCallum was. Ggg struggled with Danny Jacobs who in my opinion is a clear tier below Watson and Benn. I see an enormous skill gap between Jacobs and those two guys. Almost as enormous as the skill gap I see between McCallum and ggg. I would pick McCallum to beat ggg and canelo
