Eubank is very good but I would pick Canelo to win a close fight. I think Canelo is the 2nd best middleweight in the world right behind GGG. Canelo has an iron jaw, very, fast accurate and powerful combinations and wicked body punches.It would be a great, close fight but I give the edge to Canelo.

When I watch him fight I see a million counter opportunities. I think his aggression is misinterpreted as speed. Canelo has true offensive speed because he is very efficient. He's not the fastest, but sharper than Eubank for sure.
As far as athleticism, it's a toss-up, IMO. Neither has brilliant stamina. Eubank's stiffness offsets any athleticism he has. He's not flowing like a a truly athletic fighter would be.

A high output(more openings) sloppy brawler(super counterable) with neither the power(Canelo didnt get hurt by Golovkin, Canelo will counter even more) or chin (like Golovkin who took a lot of punishment) to trouble him or keep him overly focused on the defensive and not countering him on literally eveything he throws?
People use their bias(or worship) to cloud their judgement. Seems like a gimme matchup wise for Canelo. Only advantage he would have is stamina. And against a good counterpuncher when you have neither good power or chin, sounds less than favorable.

He lost to BJS, a lesser fighter than Canelo in all aspects. Canelo wins this one in a one-sided UD.
