    I don't disagree with any aspect of your post, I was merely endorsing it.

    Are you not allowed to agree with someone on ESB?

    Collins had hard fights that he lost on points. He came to the ROI\UK and his style, boxing skill, stamina, chin and relentlessness were enough to beat Benn\Eubank twice and defend against a few other challengers who were pretty decent Middleweight\Supermiddleweight operators in UK\Europe.
    Most famous for the man who beat Eubank first. He lost those three fights learning the trade.

    roy jones like naz looked amazing against fighters that were in ore of him and intimidated. Collins or benn would have put it on him with no fear. not saying either would of beat him for me it's pick em fights but to say it wouldn't be competitive is bull****, ask tarver.

    Eubank was burnt out, Benn was shot (McClellan fight ruined him) Carr/Brown were Middleweights (Collins was SUPERmiddle champ when he fought them) Seillier and Cummings were third tier. He then retired rather than fight Calzaghe.

    He was a mediocrity like so many Barry Hearn & the WBO made 'champion' in the 90's

    Jones would have embarrassed him, peak Eubank & Benn would have beaten him, as would Barkley, Nunn, McClellan, Toney.

    If Collins fights Jones the big loser will be boxing.

    Eubank and Benn, both got beaten twice each, by Collins, they were so overrated (mainly in England) that it's laughable. I love the excuse that they were both shot because neither of them could beat him, and he was a pretty basic brawler. The Jones/Collins, Jones/Calzaghe etc fights should have happened back in the 90's, it'll prove **** all now.

    Jones was the boss in his day, though he was juicing like ****, throughout his prime, without cheating, how good would he even have been then?...he could have been getting KO'd all the time, even back then.

    Personally would love to see this, something fascinating about the old pikey coming out of being retired for so long, and taking a crack at the most denuded chin in boxing today. Like waiting for a train crash to happen in slow motion.

    yup, I listened to a Collins interview recently where he said he actually went into the ring to challenge him, & RJJ ignored him like he didnt exist. Steve was a fine fighter & a loveable guy but ultimately a nearly man & should be grateful RJJ didnt take him up on his offer, cos RJJ would have beaten him handily, just like he did to everyone else at the time.
