Chris Eubank vs. Gerald McClellan

I go with Eubank.

I think he is a better technical fighter than the G-Man, and
had the mindset to win when the going gets tough.

 

at middleweight g-man was a monster im going to say he would be one of the very few fighters who stops eubank, and it would be late in the fight.

 

I just don't see McClellan stopping Eubank, his chin was fantastic. I see Eubank nicking a UD decision by a couple of rounds.

 

I'd favor McClellan, looking at how he did against Benn while more or less dying on his feet

 

Eubank is simply to good in this match-up..His chin should carry him through the rough spots...and there would be a few! But his mobility and style would leave him with a nice UD...bring on RJJ!

 

The G Man was better than Benn, despite the result. What Benn does, McClellen does better. His power was frightening. I see Eubank getting stopped. For all his ability he could be hit and took quite a lot of punishment along the way. Eubank gets stopped around the midway point.

 

If Eubank gets stopped it won't be because his chin let him down...

 

So for Benn to be better than McClellan, he would have had to lose to him??

Bizarre logic or a blatant attempt to undermine Benn for not being American?

 

Im not sure why, as an Englishman, I would be biased against Benn for not being an American. I was a BIG Benn fan and was no particular fan of McClellan. It's my opinion that if the tragic injury which befell Gerald early on in the fight (which was a freak accident, relatively speaking) had not happened, Benn would have been stopped, despite his huge fighting heart and significant ability. McClellan was a superior fighter than Benn imo.

 

and another huge benn fan is agreeing with this.

I think eubank goes the distance with almost any middleweight in history, but we never seen the full peak of the g man and im saying that he could be the man to stop eubank, his power and aggression were freakish.

 

I think Eubank would take this one to the scorecards, and win the decision. McClellan's frightening power would be a huge factor right up until the final bell, though I personally don't McClellan would land quite often enough on Eubank to sway the fight in his direction. Should Eubank choose to trade at close quarters though, he'd be in danger of getting stopped despite his solid chin: McClellan could potentially close the show on virtually anybody if he landed enough accumulative heavy leather.

Still, Eubank: UD.

 

I think Mclellan could've been great, but did he seriously knock anyone out who had anywhere near as good a chin as Eubank?

 

Eubank would win a tight decision. McClellan would be in with a guy just as strong as him and who would fight him all night.

Eubank would have to have trained properly but he's too smart for McClellan

 

I think McClellan's power is a bit overrated. He was a big hitter, but his power wasn't on the level of, say a Julian Jackson. He didn't even knock out the weak-chinned Dennis Milton. He did have a great chin, though. With this being said, Eubanks was physically just as strong as G-Man. The problem is that Chris was a much more rounded fighter, with a great chin to boot. I think Eubanks takes a tough decision in this one.
