12 (or 15) Rounds Middleweight Bout

Would Eubank get the better of Griffith behind his quick jabs and combinations to take a decision or vice versa for Griffith to take a decision after outboxing and outslugging Eubank. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Griffith by a comfortable decision.

Griffith Unanimous Decision.

Eubank is a damn good British/European Level fighter. He's not a World level fighter.

Would you include Eubank in the list of notable SMWs, that Crawford would've beaten (at 168)?

Yes. He just beat a better fighter than Eubank.

Perhaps. Though, it probably could've been a tougher style and physical match-up for Crawford (than Canelo was).

Canelo definitely could've and should've made it rougher, but that's really just not who he is, and you can't blame him for sticking with what got him there when you've had the kinda success he's had fighting like he fights.

That I agree with.

Btw, I dropped a Crawford-Kessler thread below. Be interesting to get your thoughts on that one, too.

At middleweight, Emile Griffith wins.
At super middleweight, that's 8 more pounds. That's too risky for Griffith. I would pick Chris Eubank here. He was the stronger fighter at 168
