    Who is the better fighter?

    Old English or his son?

    Close but I'd say CES just, although to be fair he's 50.

    Eubank snr was smashing people up until he hurt Watson. Much better at everything apart from volume.

    Jr volume would trouble old English just like Calzaghe did.

    Jnr feet are nothing compared to calzaghe. Couple with his southpaw stance made him very hard to deal with. Jnr isn't as relentless as calzaghe. Jnr likes to walk about and fight in flurries

    Calzaghe was on you from the opening bell popping in and out of range with lots of shots at multiple Angles. Most opponents get tired and concentration dips allowing for decent openings.

    Jnr jumps about and goes for walks and showboats far too much to deal with someone like his dad

    Snr was much better as someone rightly said he was smashing people about until the Michael Watson fight, he was never the same afterwards. Also rightly pointed out though he has high workrste CEJ it's overrated as he does go for plenty of walks.
