question-
Does steve consider himself the greatest super-middleweight of all-time simply because he beat past their best Eubank and Benn on two occasions respectively? Does he believe that he would have beaten them at their peaks?
How does Steve believe he would have fared against the likes on James Toney and Michael Nunn at 168?
answer-
You have to remember that Eubank was coming off a career - best performance going into the fight against me ( Henry Wharton ). He was in peak physical condition.
Nigel maybe didn't have much gas left in the tank but I'd been looking forward to fighting him for 10 years. His career - defining win was against Gerald McClellan in a stunning upset, my career - defining win came a few weeks later against Eubank in what was also a stunning upset. I will leave it to you to decide who would of won had the fight with Benn taken place sooner.
I think in beating Eubank I eclipsed any of James Toney's or Michael Nunn's wins at super middle weight. I will leave it to you to decide if they could of tamed me.
question-
same thing if he could pick a boxer to fight from today and before he fought who would he pick ? and what would he do to win ? and what fighters would he have a hard time with if any ?
answer-
Of todays fighters I would like to fight Carl Thompson because he is the ultimate warrior and so dangerous with his back to the wall which would give me a buzz. It would be a gruelling fight. Of past fighters it would have to be Rocky Marciano for the same reason because it would give me a buzz knowing how dangerous he is with his back to the wall and if I fought the great man it would be a war.
question-
Ask Mr Collins why he's still convinced he'd of beat Roy Jones
answer-
Roy Jones Junior was yellow and wouldn't fight anybody who would stand up to him. He would only fight those who knew they couldn't beat him. I would of made it chest to chest and roughhouse to beat him.
To John Scully-
Yes it's right Gentleman John Scully was a real good guy who came to the gym in the days he was the top line amateur, travel many many miles to give me some good sparring.
