    Agree with your post. I also think a healthy Mcclellan absolutely wrecks Benn. Its of my opinion G mans team knew he was ****ed and something was wrong but still let him fight...Ive heard enough accounts of sparring stories and other bits that points to this.Heavy blinking etc, wobbled by jabs in sparring. No one gave 2 shits about him

    No evidence for that in fairness - nothing decisive had occurred in the fight to cause Benn to panic etc. Also Nigel actually did have a pre-existing injury to that ankle coming in to the fight, as I recall....

    Doubt Joe C would have 'ruined' Steve in fairness. Won, maybe...and only maybe - but certainly not 'ruined' Steve, by no means.

    With Collins chin and toughness and calzaghes punch output plus his hands were fine at this stage, he could whack at this point. I see Collins being pebble dashed bad.

    Calzaghe too fast for Colins. I actually think would be a great fight. Much like eubank when he alludes to his sons style it would be 2 punches (for colins) v 5 for calzaghe in exchanges.

    Very hard man Collins but Benn pre McClellan and Eubank pre Watson both beat him imo Calzaghe beats him fairly easily also imo
