    Eubank everytime. He was an arrogant *******, but he could sure back it up.

    Id go with eubank by decision 116-112 cuz eubank had a great chin and hed out box pavlik but eubanks tendencys to fight below his real capablilties would make it a tough fight change that to 115-113

    Must be a joke?

    Eubank every time - granite chin, very good skills, great stamina, decent power and most importantly an iron will. All pavlik has is a decent one two and power.
    :bbb

    Pre-Watson II wins by stoppage.

    Post-Watson II Eubank confuses Pavlik, but labours at times to a UD.

    Eubank was an effective defensive fighter and come forward, straight punching bangers like Pavlik were his bread and butter. He'd beat the living hell out of him.

    Not totally sure but I can see Pavlik winning a decision because of his consistent pace and pressure forcing Chris to fight at a pace he would not like.

    Pavlik doesn't have the greatest footwork in the world though.

    Eubank easily outboxes Pavlik.

    I'll take Eubank by UD but I'd have loved to see the consensus before Pavlik for B-Hop.

    Personally I think Eubank just controls the fight off his jab and I don't think Kelly would be able to work out Eubanks unorthordox style!!

    Pavlik's best ticket to beat Eubank would be to do what he did to Miranda but id pick Eubank because he had more skill and if Mckart and Taylor can hurt Pavlik i dont see why Eubank cant.

    Agreed about Pavlik's footwork however it is his other attributes that I think will unsettle Chris. The fights with Michael Watson especially the 2nd fight and the bouts with Steve Collins are instructive in this regard. I can discount the Calzaghe loss as Chris was way past his best. Chris is not comfortable when he cannot dictate the pace a luxury Pavlik would never afford him. It seems that the Hopkins defeat which is actually no shame has made people forget how good Pavlik is.

    I love both Eubank and Pavlik, Eubank takes this though, would have agreed even before the B-hop though. The pre-Watson II Eubank likely would have at least TKO'd Pavlik late. The post Watson II would have likely UD him without the same killer instinct. By the way... to anyone interested I highly reccomend purchasing Eubank's autobiography. Really an amazing book that will change your mind on not only him but boxing and the mental feelings fighters go through.
