Hopkins by CLEAR UD. Eubank was quite simply not on B-Hop's level. Theres a reason he ducked the best American fighters.
Not to mention the top, most experienced british middle at the time(Graham) and the best euro based middle(kalambay). Eubank was a disgrace as far as making fights goes, even though i like him as a fighter.
2 of my favourite fighters but I see Hopkins winning a UD. Eubank was at his best against aggressive fighters and while Hopkins in his prime would have fought aggressively he could also box and that would be the difference. Close fight early on but Hopkins adapts and out boxes Eubank to win a comfortable decision.
Eubank would have made it closer than a lot of you think. Obviously this fight would go the full 12 and Hopkins' superior ring smarts would eventually prevail, but I still think we are only talking about a 115-113 type decision on the cards.
Agreed, eubank is very likely to get outboxed but how many men in history would have an easy night with him Plus eubank has the speed, strength and power to make this interesting, added to the fact he would chaseand go after his man if he was losing
