    Eubank for me (I'm presuming you mean at 160, btw?)

    Kelly has his moments, and may even hurt Eubank a few times, but Eubank was a lot slicker than he was given credit for, had a granite chin- for all that Pavlik has a BIG straight right it's no gimme that it was good enough to hurt Eubank (Benn's big shots didn't), and I see Eubank moving in and out of range behind a quick, solid jab and landing enough of his own power shots (again underrated) to eek out a tight but clear UD.

    Would have loved to have seen this one... :popcorn:

    Would have been a GREAT fight. I like Pavlik by decision though. Workrate would be the difference here.

    I think in my mind Eubanks wins a close decision. And being British, he may even beat Pavlik in a drinking contest

    Eubank isn't a drinker at all. The guy lives a clean life. Pavlik would murder him in that area.

    As for the actual fight, I think the Eubank from the first Benn fight was better than the Pavlik from the first Taylor fight.

    Chrittthhhhhhh by 8-4 or maybe even 9-3 decision... probably scores a KD of Kelly along the way.

    I think eubank is very overrated, but his style mesh well with pavlik. He probably take a close decision

    Does anybody in the UK remember when Chris Eubank hosted Top of the Pops and he had to say "at six it's Suggs with Cecilia", they did him dirty with that one, man :Jest::Jest::Jest:

    To answer the thread, I think Eubank on points in a fairly close one.
