    I Doubt there will be a stoppage in this fight probably a points win for Collins, but's lets see what Froch has learned in his next fight.

    Collins is busier than Froch with better technical skills. He wins on points or late tko, Froch's power can't bail him out of this one, Collins' chin is iron.

    This is probably just a little unfair to Froch! Froch is still proving himself, and has looked good recently against good (not great) competition...his come from behind KO over Taylor is a good way for him to begin building a legacy. Collins on the other hand we know he was and what he capable of for the most part. At this point in time, I would lean towards a Collins win by late stoppage (No disrespect meant to Froch or his chin), but would not be surprised if Froch lasted the distance making Collins earn this one on the cards (which I believe he would). I have no trouble imagining Froch being very competitive and landing some solid stuff of his own along the way.

    But by and large what Froch does in the next couple of years will go a long way in determining how this hypothetical match-up would go...Froch does not have a complete legacy by wich we could evalute him. He could be remembered as the best SMW of this era (I am not saying he is or is not!)...or he could be barely remembered if things don't go so well! To early for me, but based off of now, I would lean towards Collins!
