Junior footwork is poor and the only thing he is better than his dad is his work rate and stamina. If they fought Junior would try and outwork Senior but the straight punches from dad would be simply too much for his son. Senior would win on points.
Styles make fights Eubank SR didn't like it when someone just keep coming to him throwing punches - Collins , Schommer ( who beat him for me ) Ray Close etc.
Eubank SR was overrated as is his son.
Both have good chins but JR has a far better engine.
Agree with bits of that, but I think Sr’s Jab frustrates Jr. And keeps him at bay.
And to put it into perspective, if somebody put up a thread for say, Sr. v Groves or Sr. v Froch , I think it might be a 50/50 split. And we saw what Groves did to Jr. And no doubt Froch would beat Jr.
