    Collins crowds Froch just like he did Eubank twice.

    Damn, I really couldn't call that one. It would certainly go the distance.

    The Collins who fought Reggie Johnson and Sumbu Kalambay threw sharp combinations and was cute at countering - he'd beat Froch convincingly on points.

    He beat Eubank and Benn, so it's not strange that some people think he would be Froch.

    Im irish and i voted for froch. I dont think its fair to suggest that the only reason that collins has more votes is because of national bias. Collins has beaten some really good fighters.

    More importantly, there is no way collins gets stopped here. He had a cinder block for a head. Freddie Roach has said on numerous occasions that Collins had the best chin of anyone he has ever worked with.

    Froch wins, collins is overrated he beat fighters who were on their way to being shot big deal

    Reggie Johnson and Sumbu Kalambay would get beat by half of froch's opponents

    Sorry guys collins is famous for beating a past prime benn and eubank
