Why didn't Joe Calzaghe fight Steve Collins?

[msagrain]

How come the fight never happened?

[Clegg]

Collins retired instead.

[Silencers]

Collins got injured and retired.

thats what happened i believe

[Silencers]

I think Collins pulled out a week or two before they were supposed to fight, Eubank then stepped in, he had to lose about 20 pounds before the fight.

[x-PeROxiDE-x]

Collins was the champion, and Joe was the madatory.

Collins signed the contract, waited all the way up until a few weeks before the fight, and retired.

Joe then won the title by beating Eubank instead.

Eubank was already fighting on that bill.
