    Who would win in actuality? Eubank.

    Who would win on the cards? Canelo.

    Canelo. Eubank is overrated as hell. Having a close fightan arguable win over GGG is miles better than what eubank did (beating a green benn and a hail mary ko against watson)

    And eubank benefited of friendly judges even more than canelo

    And Canelo's not??????

    Eubank had the style to beat Canelo, and I feel the Eubank of the first Benn fight was a better fighter than Canelo.

    But Eubank actually getting the decision is doubtful.

    Ya gotta shoot that Ginger bastard dead just to lose a split decision.

    Canelo lost 10-2 to Floyd and got a majority decision. That's all you need to know about how favorable he is to judges.

    If you look at it stylewise, Canelo is a counterpuncher, and Eubank's awkward style would give him a lot of problems.

    Eubank is the more athletic of the two here, with much quicker feet, and he had sneaky enough power to keep Ginger honest.

    It would be a posing contest, and i like canelo better hand speed and combos to carry him to a win

    At least canelo needs friendly judges to get past elite fighters. Eubank needed some home cooking to beat euro level fighters and bums

    To Canelo's credit, I think he's a better thinker in there.

    Eubank had physical talent, but the guy was truly daft as fuck in the ring.
