    Steve was too much of a warrior and in my opinion would of stopped Woodhall late on.

    Collins UD.

    Steve was the better fighter, Richie is the better analyst.

    I think Steve Collins would have worn down Ritchie Woodhall to a late stoppage similar to Joe Calzaghe's victory over him...:yep

    Got to agree with the consensus, I think Woodhall would have made a bright start but Collins wears him down and wins via comfortable UD or possibly a late stoppage.

    Yeah Collins takes this. But, on a different note I enjoyed them in the studio, it was good to see different faces and voices, as I am so sick of johnny nelson.

    Johnny Nelson and Smith do a good job on the documentaries and ringside. But on fight night I want different pundits - it freshens it up

    Woodhall and Collins were great pundits, Jim "Arram Punch" Watt was good tonight, just ditch Rawling and bring back Ian Darke...:good

    The Darke Destroyer's interview with Walsh was shocking at the weekend.:-(

    Watts get on my tits, the whingey ****er. Collins and Woodhall were excellent and I'd like to see them on more often.

    Collins on points or late swarming stoppage.

    Collins wins late.

    Re the commentators. Watt is ok on small doses. I think the British problem with commentary is that there is too much false excitement. The analysing during the fight is all about generic comments too. Saying someone should keep on what they're doing etc. If you ever listen to woodhall commentate, there is technical reason to back up what he's saying.
    How many times did Rawlings need to tell us last night that aincough nearly died?? Too much irrelevant information is given. Boxing commentary is so different to football, and I think Rawlings fails to make the transition between the two.
    Darke is better but he still has that fake excitement in his voice

    Collins by late stoppage. Richie takes the early rounds and then Steve comes on strong.

    My opinion of Steve Collins has been tarnished by a belief that he was lucky to meet Benn and Eubank at the right time and even then, Eubank could have won one of the fights (I think it was the second one...)

    I'd have to re-visit his fights and clear my mind a bit if my answer wasn't to be Woodhall UD.

    I think Woodhall was the better boxer but Collins was a ruffian and would probably have overwhelmed him.
    For some strange reason that I can't put my finger on I actually like Collins. It must be his smile.
