    And yeah maybe so, but to be fair on benn he had just won a hard fight, of course he's gonna celebrate, and he did calm down once he realised mclellan was hurt AND visited the man in hospital afterwards, that shows class, he didnt have to go did he.

    Double :roll:. The duck was when Collins retired as champion rather than lose his title to Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe
    Eubank/Benn
    Collins


    It's quite obvious that Collins got Eubank and Benn at the right time. As good as those wins are on his record, it has to be taken into account that they were on the slide.

    Was Eubank unbeaten when he fought Collins?

    That collapse was AFTER Collins pulled out of fighting Joe. It was after Joe had beaten Eubank and Collins was in prep for a warmup fight.

    Why did he pull out initially?

    Yes, but he was gifted a draw against Benn.

    Yeh but Eubank was past his best in my opinion and he still gave collins a run for his money in both fights.

    So on that logic, Collins is as good if not better than Mike McCallum as he gave McCallum a run for his money in his 16th fight....
    Stop talking ****, Eubank lost against Collins twice when he was 30 years of age and was at the time unbeaten. Maybe not his best showings in the ring, but certainly not 'past it'......
