Who wins? Eubank is naturally bigger, and has the workrate to cause Canelo trouble.
Canelo Alvarez vs. Chris Eubank Jr.

Eubank never been in there with a combination counterpuncher or an elite with consistent and precise targeting. Eubank would gladly take the punishment, but his father would tell him that by doing so against Canelo could forever change his durability.
More importantly it’s a platform conflict. It won’t happen anytime soon. -

I haven't seen anything the junior Eubank does that would trouble Alvarez. The only time I saw him was that ugly, hard to watch fight that he lost to Groves. If he's expanded his game since then, maybe he can make it competitive for a handful of rounds against Canelo but I wouldn't use the Degale performance as a measuring stick.Comment

Two completely different levels of fighter. And not to take anything from Eubank's win, but he just beat a guy that Truax already beat.
We saw Eubank's level when he faced Groves. I rate Groves, but even he is not close to Canelo's level. I don't think that was just a case of styles, it was a case of levels.
That said, Eubank seems very tough, i doubt Canelo could ever look like stopping him, which would give Eubank opportunities to do some work at times. Obviously Eubank would be the bigger man too, where as Groves was too strong for him.
Still, levels..Comment
