Mcclellan v Collins?

This would've actually been a great fight, I think Gerald would be too much for Stevie though. McClellan was a beast, a really vicious man. They both had great chins and aggressive styles so something would have to give. I think Collins might've been stopped here. McCellan had so much physicality and leverage. He didn't have the best defense, went back in straight lines so Collins would've had his success, particularly early. But McClellans advantages and pop would change the fight and he would win relatively comfortably. Gerald has so much advantage in see-saw match-ups like these.

 

McClellon by KO. The long right that Eubank decked him with was typical McClellon- only less powerful.

 

Echo the Above.

G-Man wins via KO in a damn good fight but G-Man would of prevailed IMO.

 

if collins could survive the first few rounds he would have a good chance to wear the g man down, however thats a pretty big if. Id say he would knock him out, that right hand was incredible

 

G man KO round 1

 

I see you're a fan of G-man, mate. How do you think he would've done against Toney/Jones? I know him and Roy probabily wouldn't have fought as they were great friends, but i think Gerald had the best chance of coursing a prime Roy Jones the biggest problems, along with Calzaghe. They might've lost, but they're no worse then 60/40 or even 50/50 with Roy.

 

well gerald beat jones in the amatuers , i know its a different game from the pros but still , it shows the guy can box efficiently aswel as punch hard , i think gerald would have taken roy at middlweight ( by ko ) it would take more than the usual 1-3 rounds maybe a 8th round ko , toney is more difficult for me to decide because toney could slip and duck punches like theres no tomoro and i think gerald would be open for the counter alot BUT could toney take a real pasting like gerald could give ? hard to say what you think ??

 

You've hit the nail on the head. I think he has a better chance with Roy, i could see him getting a stoppage whilst behind on the cards. Roy didn't jab enough, he relied on hybrid lead hooks to bail himself out, but McClellan had all the tools to course him problems and hurt him. Jones jr. would be very cautious wary of Geralds power and maybe his workrate would drop. Gerald put EVERYTHING into his punches so Roy would have to fight close to a perfect fight to win. I think he'd probabily eke out a decision.

I think James Toney would've given Gerald fits. Like you said Toney could slip a punch with his eyes closed and always came on late, Toney also had an ATG chin so i don't think G-man would hurt him enough. He would smother Geralds power in the pocket and get a stoppage IMO. Lets not forget McClellan sometimes had stamina problems too. Toney would take away his lethal right hand and counter punch all day. Gerald got hit a lot with right hand counters.

 

ye theres no doupt toney vs mcclellan is a tough one to score its either a quick ko for mcclellan or a decision for toney , i cant see g man actually been stopped tbh

 

I agree with this, however I think Collins' chin may hold up, I've seen him take huge bombs and still come forward.

If McClellan couldn't take out the weaker chinned Benn, then he wouldn't take out Collins.

 

That fight is an exeption though.

 

Well, Benn was a better fighter then Collins, especially when he fought McClellan. He brought more things to the table then Collins would've done. Nigel was also an inspired man that night and he almost did get KO'd early with McCellan coming into that fight with an injury IMHO. He just has too many advantages over Collins. McClellan was a real killer and Collins' style really suited him. It's just a matter of how many big shots Steve would've taken...he may have made it to the final bell, but my money would be on a McClellan stoppage in the mid rounds.

 

exactly ^^^ collins coming forward fancying himself as a tough guy would have got him a one way trip to the canvas
