You're in the minority if you think Collins beat Eubank at Millstreet I had Eubank winning about 9 rounds, because Collins was lunging and scuffling.
RJJ refused to fight collins, even when Collins showed up on his front lawn, Ali style. Pity really - I think he would have murdered Collins
I think he did enough....I freely admit to scoring for the aggresors in most fights.....Eubank often won fights by doing just enough but he came unstuck away from home in Ireland and to be fair it was close, but I liked Collins all action style for some reason.....Calzaghe v Collins would have been a tear up...it's a shame Benn was ****ed by the time he came to fight the Celtic Warrior
I think he had one tear-up too many with McClellan, to be fair He was clearly shot to bits against Nardiello, falling over his own punches.
Collins was a good fighter, and I think it is a shame that people deride his victories over both Benn and Eubank - but I must admit that it would be silly to suggest that Steve would have beaten either of them in their prime. Benn and Eubank are totally different fighters, Benn a real warrior, whereas Eubank was more likely to sneak up and chin you! Benn had the better resume, and was the better 'fighter' - but Eubank was a better 'boxer' and as styles make fights, I think Chris would win more often than not. Very difficult to split them.
