    not the bottom line, collins showed interest when joe,previously unknown nothing at national level, won some cred.

    a 2000 volume arena, gainst nobody, and beig told it was being arranged last minute when he was on holiday, was an insult to steve. it would not suprise me if wassen hadnt manufactured that move to engineer steve vacating the title for joe to get an easy route in.

    sorry that you cant handle a balanced opinion garnering both good n bad. u need to take a look at your approach to life.

    also talk to the person, dont hide behind someone else.

    Whatever spin anyone wants to put on it the fact remains that the fight was only days away from happening when Collins pulled out. That is the indisputable truth of it.

    The fact that he was scheduled to fight in September 1997 cannot have come as a surprise as it was part of his contract with Warren. His only argument against this was that the contract gave him the option to turn it down.

    You can argue until the cows come home about who ducked who but Calzaghe whips Collins every day of the week.

    how many world title fights did he win?

    he was the Kevin Mitchell, Ryan Rhodes of his generation.. a nearly man

    he's lucky he got them shots and he couldn't take them Jamie Moore and other good fighters never even got a shot. he got knocked out 3 times so he was clearly a bit chinny.

    then why was he in spain on holiday getting fat if he knew about it was signed for?


    no no collins has explicitly said that a september fight was optional to him, not mandatory nor necessary, nor was he informed of it being set in stone.

    matched atg mcallum, but lost to jackson, and noce well faded lost to brewer. not sure WHY he was given that brewer shot.

    how many title fights that werent wbo wassen jobs did joe calzaghe win? 2. hardly a difference. is cowardzaghe world class? I would say pretty definitely.

    claiming that a man who matches Mcallum, who is a better fighter by far than anyone joe fought, isnt world class, is tantamount to stupidity.

    Collins said he believed the contract stipulated the fight in September was optional. Warren believed otherwise. The reason Collins walked out of the initial press conferance like a diva was because of this dispute.

    In the end it was all irrelevant because Calzaghe was the WBO mandatory and the WBO sanctioned the fight, and Collins was obligated to fight his mandatories so he had to take the fight or be stripped.

    Never seen him fight, but if he is anywhere nearly as good as his father, he will become a star...........
