Eubanks v McClellan

[berry]

I just can't see that! 'G Man' was too active for Eubank - he wouldn't have been able to just do enough like he always did. He wouldn't have been able to live with the work rate. Eubbank's chin was cast iron, so assuming G' Man' could go 12, he would win UD imo.

What work rate??

McClellan was never a swarmer. He would circle opponents and use his jab as a range-finder, and rely on amazing timing. He had extremely heavy hands, that's for sure.

He was taller and rangier than Eubank, but Eubank was almost impossible to hit cleanly with a jab or straight combination due to his perception (slightly out of range) and reflexes (subtle head movement). They were both massive, coming in at 180+ and remaining chiseled.

Eubank shifted his body better, moved his feet better, doubled his jab faster and threw more right hands to the body, and had much more flexibility, so I would go with Eubank to out-box Gerald in a chess-type match with McClellan looking for the big overarm right and getting frustrated.
