    On their best day?

    Collins probably outworks Reid but wouldn't be surprised if Reid dropped Collins on the way. Reid was a puncher and loved the over hand right. Eubank nearly had him out of their in the 10th of their first fight but didn't really follow it up and missed a massive opportunity.

    Reid was good, not great. Had a decent chin but could be lazy.

    Would also pick Collins. Reid would get smothered by him.

    The BEST of Robin Reid would take this fight but 9/10 Collins would get it. He was much closer to his peak for a lot longer, he was a bonfire to Reids firework

    Lee jones summed it up perfectly, reids best was probably as good If not better, but Collins was a solid 7 every fight Reid was hit and miss, although to be fair had Reid gotten the Calzaghe and ottke nods people would look back very differently

    Is this a joke? Collins was streets ahead.

    Collins, as much as I like Reid and rate him. I think Collins would take it.

    Reid beats Benn and Eubank though.

    Collins really.

    reid had some class to snatch a title, but not the class to keep it. Collins did.

    Collins would be made for Reid. Points win for Reid similar to the Henry Wharton fight

    Collins grinds out a decision.

    Was Reid not thoroughly outboxed by Henry Wharton of all fighters for 4-5 rounds before Wharton mindlessly changed tactics and came on? The earlier Collins could box- using very good ring movement, a timed jab and sharp combinations.. Robin was very flat-footed and a pure counterpuncher.. Eubank with his super lateral movement would surely box circles around Reid in every minute!

    Lets not forget Joe C was completely dominating Reid for 3-4 rounds before his hand broke..
