    Who wins? Eubank is naturally bigger, and has the workrate to cause Canelo trouble.

    Eubank can't deal with Canelo's power and counter punching skills. Although it'd be an entertaining fight for as long as it lasts.

    CEJ would be best off going after Dirrell. Canelo would dismantle him and he's not getting a BJS fight anytime soon. Perhaps he could go back to 160 and fight someone like Rob Brant. Not right now but he could fight Jermall Charlo as well, at some point, for a belt Canelo is gonna vacate.

    Eubanks has poor defense and reckless offense, lacking the discipline Canelo brings. Canelo's defense will nullify Eubank's power. So, Canelo wins either by late stoppage or on points.

    Well, I can. Having a good chin doesn't mean you can go the distance with everyone. There are many fighters with iron chins who got knocked out on countless occasions.

    i doubt canelo posseses that power to do such a thing. this aint a drained rocky fielding here . this is a guy who degale and groves would not fight eubank toe to toe he eubank is dangerous on the inside.

    DeGale and Groves aren't really guys who fight toe to toe.

    There's only one way to know, so we'll have to wait until the fight happens, if it ever, happens.

    degale i already know he dosent on the groves part i meant is that groves was in the froch fights pressing forward in the fight more so than froch. we did not see groves press as forward against eubank than the froch fights. eubank is dangerous on the inside that is where he is able to use his athletiscism and speed the best

    Canelo UD.

    Canelos defense and countering would contain Eubank. Canelos ring generalship would dictate the round and his timing would see him land the more effective punches.

    I think the gulf in class is too much to be overcome by Eubanks size, aggression and desire.

    But its a fight Id like to see.
