    Benn was world class but Eubank was a great. I'm not convinced by Collins, I think Eubank and Benn just aged a lot quicker than he did.

    That is probably due to them being in both tragic fights benn with MClennan and Eubank with Watson. That would be my take on it. Just wondering didn't eubnak knock collins down three times in the first fight?

    Collins was never involved in wars like Benn-Eubank, Eubank-Watson, Benn-McClellen. Fights like that take their toll even on the winner. No fighter has many of that kind of fight in them.
