Eubank is a better fighter. Chavez only had success at 160 because he had a massive size advantage over his opponents, once he moved up in weight he looked terrible. Eubank also has more time on his side to improve his legacy while Chavez is pretty much done.

You don't think Chavez's World Champion status brings far more to the table than Eubank Jr who in all fairness may never become a World Champion? I know the belt that Chavez won was a Mickey Mouse Belt but surely
I know Chavez Jr fought some $41tty fighters in his career but he's had decent wins like Andy Lee who was actually a World Champion in his own right having won a vacant to a solid fighter in Korobov and drew with Quillin (another World Champion).
Jr's best wins were a shot to death Abraham and Yildrim (who, let's just face it - walk straight into you).

Chavez won his title against a nobody. Eubank would have gotten a belt too if his godfather was the president of the WBC. I don't think it really means much. Eubank's two losses are both to great fighters and he didn't get blown out by either of them.
