Steve Collins: Could he have beaten a peak benn and eubank

.....apart from Eubank...

 

So does that make you Collins nuthugger? twat!

 

Prime Eubank beats Collins in a close fight. Collins beats Benn IMO.

 

Every day of the week and twice on Sunday:good

 

Apart from March 18th, 1995

 

Except he did beat him that night, legit.

 

Not according to the rulebook

 

I think both in their prime beat him but he has the wins over them so credit to him

 

Bump!

 

I remember Eubank beating him quite easily for much of one fight, but he had lost the killer instinct.

 

Now this is an old thread brought back to life!

I think Watson, Eubank, Benn, Collins were all much of a muchness and peaked in differerent ways at different times. Watson the best all round boxer, Eubank the more durable counter-puncher, Benn the no-quit fighter and Collins a bit of all three.

On absolute best form I say Eubank beats them all - but not by much. But there are good reasons none of them fought peak Jones Jr or Toney; still think they'd all give Calzaghe a proper fight though. Joe said Eubank absolutely wore him out by absorbing the pace in their fight, and that was Eubank on the slide.
