    I hear you but I don't think he won that by any means ..Johnson was just the better boxer that night it was an ugly fight at times but Johnson landed the better shots ..

    It was a foul-fested brawl! I liked the short right hand counters of Collins amongst it though, shading rounds.

    Think Collins has this one....both were tough to the end of their careers but I see Collins as been too cunning for Froch.

    With all the Irish in London you would imagine this would do Wembley stadium two nights running.

    Collins is criminally underrated, he finds a way to win this one. Close decision.

    Collins was terrific. He beat Eubank twice on points using two completely different styles (wise countering first fight, wild leading second). He outboxed and knocked out Chris Pyatt, and made Benn quit twice, all while past his best. He beat Eubank in their second fight more convincingly than Calzaghe did.

    I agree Collins was good but eubank could of ko'd him in the first fight after the knock down. Eubank couldn't finish after Watson. And Benn was shot to pieces. Collins would not of beaten calzaghe. But would of ud froch

    This would have been a good tear up prime for prime - both granite chins - fight likely to go the distance think if they fought a trilogy there’d be a good chance of a draw in there.
