Steve Collins in Prime vs Carl Froch who wins?

McCallum also said he had the best chin out of everyone he fought.

 

Boo Hoo.

 

I like Collins, no b.s. approach, but Eubank and Benn were past their best days. I'd give Collins the benefit of the doubt tho and call this one even. After what Froch did vs Kessler, who was very similar to Collins, I'd call Froch-Collins a draw or razor thin win for Froch.

 

I hope you're joking! Reggie Johnson clearly beat a prime James Toney and Kalambay was the probably the most skilled fighter I've EVER seen - better than Floyd Mayweather.

 

Reggie Johnson was as slick as a greaseball back then!

 

yup. an even more telling and credible endorsement.

 

I can't stand Collins he beat one of may favourite fighters in Eubank but if anyone thinks this would be an easy fight for Froch is kidding themselves.

Despite coming up from middleweight Collins was a massive super middleweight. He was faster than Froch, was an excellent counter puncher, had a granite chin and was as driven and Froch is.

Not sure who would win. I suspect it would have been an ugly fight with their styles clashing, but would have loads of drama and wild exchanges. This fight is definitely going the distance though both guys could be dropped I can't see either of them being so dominant that they could force a stoppage.

 

Collins wins, on workrate alone. Froch just isn't busy enough.

 

Collins was a far better fighter in '92 than he was against McCallum, Eubank and Benn. He really peaked in that six-month period he fought Reggie and Sumbu - sharper handed and sharper counterer, and they were VERY close fights that could've gone either way, against two of the best and most avoided slicksters and skillsters in the business.

 

Froch close but unanimous decision

 

THAT Collins wins almost every minute against Froch.

 

Froch clear ud did Collins ever beat a world class fighter not past his prime

 

Chris Pyatt and Chris Eubank back-to-back and arguably Reggie Johnson in his peak. Earlier in his career he outboxed and outpointed Tony Thornton, who bettered Doug DeWitt and Merqui Sosa and did well against Eubank and Toney.

 

Froch would beat him rather completely.
