    Benn and Eubank are well Known yet Steve Collins beat them both twice and doesn't have their level of fame. He proved himself as a great fighter and a warrior.

    Simply because he was in America during the height of the Benn/Eubank era

    He is well known. Or was. He's been forgotten since the 90s because nobody has seen him.

    he wasn't as well liked as the likes of Benn and his best wins were against guys are little out of their prime

    good fighter, legit hard case but fought and trained a lot in America. These days he would have a promotional team creating jumpters, tshirts etc to market him and raise his profile but that didn't happen so much in the 90s

    His brother Phil produced the more catchy tunes.

    Becaus Benn and Eubank fought each other and others at there peak , Collins fought them when they were past there peak , and refused to fight Joe

    He spent most of his time in the states, he was Irish not English and also came on the seen after the big 3 had all fought each other.

    Only has himself to blame, can you imagine his stock if he had fought Joe and won...now knowing what Joe went on to achieve. But he bottled it
