    I'd almost be up for it, but it doesn't warrant the cost.

    The article doesn't say which board has granted the licence

    **Just seen the 98FM source....I'd certainly want clarification. As far as Im aware granting Collins a licence to fight would be in breach of their rules/guidelines

    This is exactly the shot in the arm boxing needs. Fantastic news.

    He now looks like Nigel Adkins. Him vs Eubank now would be an intriguing matchup.

    Who said he got an Irish licence?

    Whilst you are bumming up the BBBC, just remember they are the ones that granted Freddie Flintoff a licence. Cringe.

    Stiff upper lip, what what.

    ;)

    Please tell me you are on a wind up and not just incredibly stupid.

    Collins ain't British, I doubt his licence is British (my guess is it's Maltese) and the fight won't be in Britain. WTF do you think that BBBC a. Has to do with it, or b. Can do about it.

    I'd've rather given Flintoff a license than Collins in honesty.

    I'd have given neither, but let's put it this way who wins in a fight between Collins and Flintoff.

    In fairness Flintoff beat a heavyweight who is 3-0 in his 3 other fights.

    In fairness there was a smell of fish off the bout and yer man never threw a punch - apart from one that put him down! Plus Collins would put him away inside two rounds.

    14 may Live coverage super middleweight Legends

    Any info on this?

    So do you actually think Flintoff would beat Collins?

    That prog isn't live I don't think. I came across that listed somehwere else. So might be a compilation of past super middleweight stuff building up to Froch-Kessler. Or cud be that sit down thing Calzaghe, Woodhall and Collins did with Newbon repeated possibly

    That's a little weak considering their respective opponents.
