    Very good fight but I think I’ll go with Froch by a decision

    Close fight. Pretty evenly matched. But, I also think Froch squeaks it out.

    Froch accomplished more, but I cant help but feel like based on styles it favors Collins.

    I think he could drag Froch into a tear up, and get the better of things, especially late.

    Collins by decision, but obviously we're looking at a close fight either way.

    What is Collins going to do? Froch just as strong.
    Bigger. Hits harder.

    How is Froch stronger? Collins wasn't manhandled once in his career.

    Wins over Taylor, Bute, Pascal, and Dirrell, all in their primes.

    Collins has wins over washed up versions of Benn and Eubank.
