I can see Canelo vs Eubanks Jr @168 in the UK!!!!

Good points on Canelo pocket fighting and sometimes falling back into the ropes. The thing is, Canelo does that when he wants to or needs to, its not necessarily his default style. If Canelo found that fighting in the pocket or going to the ropes against Eubank wasnt working, in my opinion he would just stop doing it, and start circling. He's shown high level ability of doing either one when he wants to, in my opinion.

I think against Eubank he would likely find going to the ropes not favorable, and simply not do it. But I think he could probably fight in the pocket with Eubank effectively, at least enough to punctuate pivotal moments within rounds. Canelo is a much better combination puncher than Eubank... and as long as he continues circling after the pocket exchanges, I think he would be fine.

We have different definitions of being dwarfed. To me... saying Golovkin dwarfed Canelo is pretty hyperbolic in my opinion. 2 to 3 inches is a pretty standard height difference in boxing, and I dont know how reasonable it is to look at Golovkin and Canelo, with Canelo likely as heavy as Golovkin, if not heavier, and then say G 'dwarfed' Canelo. Thats a complete exaggeration to me.

Eubanks height isnt something that out of the ordinary for Canelo... hes had plenty of opponents within an inch of Eubank, or taller than Eubank.

I just dont see the basis as to thinking size is going to be that big a factor here.

I do think Eubanks gas tank can make for some interesting rounds after the 7th or so... which is why I want to see the fight.

It would be interesting to see Canelo deal with Eubanks aggression once Canelo starts to tire a bit.

On the other hand, I also think Eubanks tenacity and workrate are getting overrated as well. Hes not a Margarito or Kirkland in there. And what I mean by that is hes not an offensive machine that is going to throw and throw and throw whether he has a target or not and whether he gets countered or not. If he was, he would have a much better chance.

But hes not. He can be contained by shifting targets and by countering effectively.

But thats just my opinion.

Hopefully they fight and we can actually get a chance to see how big an impression Eubanks size and supposed aggression would make on Canelo.
