I would favor Eddie, I think the deciding factors would be Eddie's more well rounded attack, his pace and his cardio. 55/45 in favor of Eddie in a 3 round fight if it were a 5 round fight 60/40 in Eddie's favor IMO.
BJ Penn rarely mixed up his offense it was mostly just boxing and I think that would be a big drawback in this match up.
It's a pretty hard match up to judge though, BJ was mostly fighting grapplers and he matched up really well with that style at LW in his prime. Alvarez was fighting a wider variety of styles in that time frame and was fighting nearly twice as much.
