    At 168, who did most between them, in your opinion?

    Is there?

    There was a documentary about David Price becoming World champion also 18 months ago.
    I'd not read too much into biased documentaries.

    After Collins beat Eubank and Benn in that fashion, most of Europe thought he'd stand a good chance against Jones.

    Myself included.

    Collins would have worn down Jones, same way Joe would have,

    Benn would have gone for a KO against Jones, he had a chance of getting it. although I'd favour Jones to win a gruelling battle after Benn tired himself out as he does.
    Eubank vs Jones, classic chessmatch. 50/50 fights
    Collins would have done to Jones what he did to Eubank in my honest opinion.
    Fresher, younger more capable Joe would have beaten Jones worse than Collins' would have.

    I give the facts.
    I can only do that, and if the facts make you believe, well...

    This is all just your opinion..

    And If you truly think Collins was much superior to Roy Jones, then I can't be bothered with your opinions anyway.

    Well, you keep dismissing Collins as a guy who's not even worthy to be in the same ring as your hero.
    He was a major threat to Jones' plans.
    Its why Jones avoided him.

    Fans from both side of the pond wanted Benn/Eubank vs Jones
    After both lost to Collins, it was a fight boxing fans wanted to see.

    Jones COULD have unified SMW before moving up in weight.
    He left for bigger fights! hahahaha

    I'm reading all of this whilst on holiday, just shaking my head and laughing.

    Where do I begin?

    Collins would have worn down Roy?

    Joe would have beaten Roy easy?

    Collins was superior to Roy?

    Roy ran from a unification?


    Comedy gold!

    Ha!

    Wlad lost some fights also when learning his craft.
    He's now recognised as the true heavyweight champion of the World!
    What's your point?

    If you think the Collins who lost to Reggie is the same one who beat Eubank and Benn then you're sadly mistaken.

    Collins from 1996 beats Roy Jones ass.
    That's my opinion.

    Where did I dismiss Collins as not worthy? I am just laughing at the joke of the statement that people actually think he was much superior to Jones.

    There is an in the ring interview before Jones' last SMW fight you shold probably see.

    What did Collins do apart from beating faded versions of Benn and Eubank?

    Eubank:

    Got gifts against Close, Schommer and Benn, and admitted that he'd lost to Schommer and Benn in his own autobiography.


    Benn:

    Lost to Malinga, and came out of retirement to fight Collins. He knew he was faded, and he put a lot of money on himself to win, in the hope it would motivate him, which was something he'd never had to do previously.


    Collins would have beaten a 27 year old Roy?

    Ha!

    Yeah of course!

    What did Jones' accomplish at SMW?
    James Toney?

    Eubank, Benn and Collins would have beat Toney.

    Roy's wins over Toney and Malinga were probably better than Collins's wins over Benn and Eubank.

    Nope.

    Benn and Eubank had wins over Malinga.
    Collins would have beaten Malinga to.

    Eubank wouldn't have fought Toney.

    The version of Benn that Collins fought, was finished. He'd come out of retirement after his loss to Malinga.

    There's no way Collins would have beaten Toney. A stylistic nightmare for him.
