    Collins UD.

    Collins was a very underrated boxer who spent his best years in the USA and was beaten by only the best of his division in McCallum, Johnson ( who said it was the toughest fighter he ever fought) and Kalambay.

    It would be a fan friendly fight which would be gruelling all the way. I can see Collins outlasting Froch down the line something like 116-112.

    I rated Collins will and toughness hugely, and stamina but Carl Froch pips him on those points

    Collins is better-schooled and did better against better fighters. Froch can't win.

    Collins.

    Collins by easy decision. Too tough and wily for Froch.
