Yes, yes and yes a thousand times over. I wouldn't use the fights they had as a barometer, but it's so ridiculously clear that Collins would have had Benn's measure at 168. People need to look with a little objectivity.
He was a tough fighter, I agree that he was kept in the shadows as he developed, a good thing when you look back...:yep Calzaghe would have boxed the ears off him...:yep A fantasy fight with Froch in my book would see Froch beating him by TKO...:yep Collins would be a victim of his own aggresion...:yep Although I am sure that could be said of both fighters in this fight...:yep I like Collins, a tough honest fighter who gave his all...:good
Being the same only opposite to all the biased posters .Best supermiddlewedight to ever lace a pair of gloves .Destroys Calzaghe 9 times out of 10 any night
great fighter- two weight world champion, never stopped in his career, only ever beaten in title fights. fought against the best on both sides of the atlantic. if mc guigan is in the hall of fame then collins should be too
Sorry but I just couldn't see that happening. Calzaghe had everything Collins had and more. He would beat Collins at his own game.
Very good tough fighter, who caught benn and eubank at the end.As a person hes a wanker.Heard enough about collins for me to label him that.Bully out the ring
I really don't get how all the Brits can say Eubank was shot when Collins beat him. Defence mechanism perhaps? It's ****ing bollocks anyways.
Realtalk - Eubank was coming off one of his greatest performances. Collins is hugely underappreciated on this forum. Disgracefully so.
He was tight at the weight for years.You know if you had watched eubank he had declined at that point.He had competitve wars with thompson but thats it after.
Yes a losing effort against a green calzaghe.Calzaghe improved after that performance and further performances. Theres no doubt one was on the way up and one on the way down.Psychologically eubank had'nt been the same fighter for years before he met calzaghe, maybe looked the bollox physically
