How do you rate Steve Collins?

a thought u liked calzagie dan ha:rofl

 

i know a fella that trains with mike in vegas got him to ask mike about stevie.his reponse was

"As far as Collins, he said Collins was in his opinion his toughest Fight. He remembered the crowd being so loud for Steve, and when it comes to Steve himself this is what he said:

"Ah'm 'ittin' 'im, 'ittin' 'im, trowin everytin' at 'im, and dis mudda****a laughin' at me. Tough sumabitch."

he also said
"Mike said he respected Watson a lot, but that he wasn't THAT good. Very strong, and a lot of heart in there, but basically a walking target"

 

You're high :deal

You get my notification on your page ?

 

legend

 

Cheers.:good

 

I haven't seen any of his fights in years and have no interest in rewatching them but I remember his style being ugly and not very entertaing to watch. Didn't help that he came after Benn, Eubank and Watson from a selling to tv pov either. I'm sure he made good money but was very limited as a fighter and got through on sheer determination.

 

ye i replyed m8

 

Highly. One of the best to come out of Ireland.

 

wish dunne had his chin

 

your not the only one:?

 

Excellent fighter,one of the toughest fighters of recent times,iron chin,my dad who is a builder worked on a house next door to steve collins,said collins was a nice man,stopped and chatted to the lads every day..

 

No way did he win, 11 out of the 12 rounds.

What the **** are you on.?

 

Kalambay beat Collins by a wide margin imo.Steve hit nothing but gloves, arms and shoulders all fight.

 

Clear as day to me.

(Eubank's level of performance had dropped dramatically, no snap at all.)

 

Collins was a bit limited BUT he was as tough as teak with a big jeart and would give any fighter absolute hell...top pro :deal
