Yes he seems to dislike Collins and does not speak well of him in public but if you could engage him in a private conversation I would be interested see would he say anything different.
Yeah he had quick hands (sneaky combinations), quick reflexes (efficient counter right) and good movement (effective lateral side-to-side footwork - see US title fights) and so often landed a hook downstairs if the right over missed. He was very very good, but not exceptionally talented or skilled like his peers (Nunns, Eubanks, Toneys, McClellans)...though he was extremely tough, strong and determined.

Calzaghe is overrated because of his poor competition IMO How would Collins have done against Kessler or an old Hopkins? Not too bad I'd say. And there's not much else to Calzaghe's name except staying undefeated, against who?
I can definitely see a case for it, but I think Calzaghe was marginally superior and that in a one-on-one matchup that his style is anathema for Collins.
Thats hilarious... Eubank must be as thick as two small planks. Does he not realise that he is discrediting a fighter who beat him twice..How does he think that reflects on him?? What a clown, get back in your truck you muppet
He had this relentless, brawling, head on style that was so enjoyable to watch. He had complete faith in his chin and stamina, this was often enough to break the hearts of many of his opponents. He would not go away.
