    Tough, Collins had a nice chin but AA could definitely break it if he caught him. Eubank had him down.

    Collins UD

    Collins fought bigger and better fighters than AA and never got stopped, so can you talk us through your logic!?

    Colins was a very smart crafty boxer with a great chin.I think he frustrates and outworks AA for a comfortable decision

    Collins UD, he had a chin of granite and AA is too lazy.

    collins, from what i've seen, had a very solid chin, great workrate but sloppy as all ****. he could lunge with his punches, throw "awkward" combos that put him off balance but got away with it because he was so damn tough and determined

    a sharpshooter, a TRUE sharpshooter, could pick him apart over 12. eubank in his prime for example would have fared far better. AA is not that kinda cat. Collins would likely win 7 of the first 8 out of sheer workrate, hitting everything AA gave him or didn't give him. Ribs, arms, side of the head doesn't matter

    Over the last 3rd AA picks it up slightly, looks harder for counterpunching opportunities and comes out of his shell. He maybe takes 1 or 2 rounds with harder shots (i believe he hits much harder than collins) but steve still takes control with his aggression

    Clear UD Collins

    Arguello is far too small for Collins.
