    I do recall Eubank saying Arum wanted him to fight Nunn in America if he beat Collins and that's what put him off, 'Why would I fight a southpaw 6'3" speedster in his backyard when I'm already the world champion? It's illogical.'

    Do you think the arm-punching Collins of '90-'91 would've got the better of a sharp Eubank, four years before he did?
