I would actually rate Collins as a better tactician than Eubank. Although studying Eubank's ring generalship there were certainly very few, if...
Benn was a phenomenal natural talent considering he very rarely sparred, that torque on his hooks and uppercuts was just there - he didn't have...
Considering Sumbu was perhaps the most skilful fighter out there outboxing Mike McCallum and Herol Graham, with the slickest defense possibly I've...
Cronin was actually a really good amateur, ABA champion and knocked out some of the top Eastern Europeans with his left hook, as well as beating...
They were down to fight on the same night as Benn-Barkley which would've been very interesting. [IMG]
1- Eubank 2- Benn 3- Calzaghe 4- Collins Eubank's boasts terrific wins against top fighters at their best (Benn, Watson x2, Rocchi) and other...

Yeah he had quick hands (sneaky combinations), quick reflexes (efficient counter right) and good movement (effective lateral side-to-side footwork...
Eubank doesn't rate Collins at all. Infact he dis-rates him, and says he was rubbish.
Watching Collins-Kalambay, it's just a better Calzaghe-Hopkins. And if the judges of the Calzaghe-Hopkins fight judged Collins-Kalambay, there's...
I know you have to rate them highly... But watching Michael Nunn (arguably the most talented boxer above the lighter weights of the 80s and 90s)...
