Steve 'Celtic Warrior' Collins.

I've posted Collins fight against Reggie Johnson over on the classic forum. Its a great scrap.

 

Calzaghe would've thrashed him. Collins opted to retire instead.

 

Collins / Calzaghe was done but Collins got injured and retired. Eubank stepped in.

 

He wasn't injured, he simply quit. Cried too!

 

He did not get 'injured' he got knocked out by Howard Eastman in sparring.

Who on earth said he was the greatest super middle of all time ? I hope i missed the sarcasm there.

McCallum , Kalambay and Reggie Johnson beat him. Roy Jones would have slaughtered him. Joe Calzaghe would have slapped him around for 12 rounds.

Eubank and Benn were past their best when they met Steve Collins.

 

That was much later. Jesus christ...

 

Was it ? Jesus Christ i thought he pulled out of the Calzaghe fight because of it ? So what fight did he pull out of due to Eastman knocking him out then ? Jesus Christ i can't wait to hear

 

I agree. Both slap him silly!

He made a career out of wins over a past it Eubank and Benn. In their prime both would have ****ed him up.

 

Kind of. In 1999 came back to fight Jones. He booked a warm up fight and planned to fight Calzaghe in his next fight & then Jones. Then he collapsed in sparring.

 

Then,upon the advice of his doctor,opted to never fight again,which he didn't.

 

Like the other 2 that you mentioned,McCallum decisioned him.The same McCallum that knocked out Michael Watson,who,in HIS previous fight just before McCallum,knocked out Nigel Benn.

 

Just watched it Collins did remind me of Froch ..A prime Jones would be too much for him but scrap with Johnson was action packed ..For those who didn't see it check it out ..
