Robin Reid vs Chris Eubank senior. 168 pounds 12 rounds

Let's go for two scenarios.

Reid vs Eubank 1997 following Reid's title win. Senior goes for one more throw of the dice and is the Senior who fought Calzaghe.

2nd scenario.

Wbo smw champion Eubank vs Wbc Champion Reid.

Injury free, full training camps, neutral ground

Two fighters who excelled when their opponent came at them. Eubank was the more versatile. I envision something similar to the Reid V Malinga fight but Eubank wins wider in both scenarios.

At their best, Eubank Sr. would outbox Reid to take a decision.

I'm gonna disagree, Reid had a great chin, and would have been busy enough to outwork Eubank, don't forget Dan Schommer and Maurizio Maural

Nevertheless Eubank always performed best when up against it, but I still think Reid would have done a bit too much

I think, I'd have picked Reid in 1997.
