    Quite a difficult thing pinning down how good Collins was, he basically made his name by feeding on the bones of Benn and Eubank, im in no way detracting from his performances but Mike McCallum dealt with him convincingly .. Ottke would depend on were the fight took place, if its in Germany then Collins wouldnt have a chance, even if he KO'd him they'd find a way of disqualifying Collins, Kessler would have a great chance of beating him, havent seen much of Andrade and i'd take Taylor every time to beat Collins ..... None of them compare to the under-rated McCallum who'd beat them all .....

    Ottke: Ottke wins a boring close (but wide on the cards) UD.
    Kessler: Kessler wins a wide UD.
    Andrade: Great match-up. Collins wins 2 out of three times, but if he trades he will get in trouble.
    Taylor: Taylor wins.

    Id pick him to beat Andrade, that would be a great fight.

    Ottke could probably out point him in the right ring with the right ref.

    Kessler is simply a better techinician all round and dominates a 12 round decision.

    Jt is a hrd one to call, we still dont know how good a super middle he will make has he hasnt really taken much pressure, I pick Collins in a tight one.
