Hydride of boron occurs as B2​H6​ but B2​Cl6​ does not exist. This is because small hydrogen atoms can easily fit in between boron atoms but large chlorine atoms do not.
Note: Instead of B2​Cl6​, the stable compound is BCl3​ which acts as a Lewis acid and accepts a lone pair of electrons from ammonia to form BCl3​←NH3​.
