Steve Collins said it how it was. A really good 1 its a shame they couldnt get Nigel Benn on it instead of Richie. Eubank trying to wind up Collins was good. What Collins said about Eubank was right saying he was shot prone when he boxed a young Calzaghe. Also what Eubank said about Collins was right too him avoiding Joe. But what Collins said about Joe at the time was right too. He was looking for a fight with Roy Jones Jnr and didnt want to take on someone he never heard of in a World title fight. Then he just retired after that. A really good 1 that was.
I can see why Collins is bitter towards Roy Jones Jnr as Roy did avoid a fight with Steve at the time. Its a sad state its like we never got to see that fight when both at there peak. Now the 2 get it on as they are old and past it.

Joe was the best and I think a fight with him and Collins would of been a great fight to have seen happening. I think Joe would of been push to his max of his limits in a fight with him. Also sadly we missed a Joe v Carl Froch fight too which would of been great to see. The UK and Ireland had some great Super Middleweights at the same time sadly the 2 best fights never happen Calzaghe v Collins and Froch.

There's no way Calzaghe would get near RJJ prime for prime.

I'd take Eubank over Calzaghe as well.

Collins seemed to get defensive whenever Eubank was speaking, taking intended compliments as insults.

Wish they had Benn or Hopkins there as well.

To be honest even without the 2 named it was well worth a look. I would love to see 1 with Naz , Wayne McCullough , Barrera and few others maybe even Scott Harrison for that weight division.
 
if that fight happens in their primes Collins doesn't win a round v RJJ, for me he doesn't beat Benn Eubank 3 years earlier either, the only question is Calzaghe v RJJ in their primes, Joe always found a way to win and had a great chin, Hopkins has such a hard style and Joe managed to do enough to get the nod, he always found a way, i was at both Hopkins and RJJ fights and when he got put down early in both the nerves in the arena were scary, now hes the man on the floor and the mental strength that takes to come back twice and win is awesome. BUT if made to call it id go for RJJ to win if both at their best

Put them in a ring circa '93-'03 and Roy beats him easier than he beat Toney.

i agree he wins but he i think he would know he'd been in a fight, just Joes hunger work rate chin and fight when hit would of made it a cracker to watch, Toney had that lazy thing and cocky "you didnt hurt me" thing and it went against him massive that night, that is if you were talking about Joe and not Collins

Cheers mate.
 
Adrian Broner v Paulie Malignaggi a bit of there press conference. Got to love Paulie about him slagging off Broner trying to be a Money. Haha. I hope Paulie backs it up in the ring. Think Broner may well spark Paulie out hope not.
