Compare their recors before making such a ridiculous statement, Collins fought and beat multiple world champions, Duddy neverereached world class.

McCallum also stated that collins has the best chin out of all the fighters he fought...

Steve Collins was and still is Irelands best at world title level IMO but i sometimes wonder what his career and indeed legacy would have been if Ray Close hadnt had to pull out of "that" fight with Eubank?

Collins would massacre Duddy and Lee. Macklin would be competitive early on but would get stopped as well

Ridiculous statement? Did I say he would of beaten him? Where did I say he reached world class? Where did I say he would of beaten him or achieved more? I think you should read my "ridiculous statement" again and take a bit of time before you reply to it.

And Chavez Jr said after the Duddy fight that he was the toughest fighter he fought.

[McGuinty]

I never said Duddy would of beaten Collins I said he would of givin Collins a tougher fight than Macklin for fuck sake.

He hurt his opponent twice in that fight but failed to realise it.
Also he needs to learn to jab more. Would like to see a strength & conditioning coach work on explosive power with him more too.
But great learning experience for him.

Agree, he looked like he was trying to KO him from the first round aswell. Loooked absolutely exhausted from about half way through the third. He's still a bit of a raw talent.

I think he's referring to the "Duddy probably had a better chin than Collins" comment, which is bordering on ridiculous. Freddie Roach ranks Collins as the best chin he's ever seen.
