question-
what was it like to lose to Sumbu Kalambay, the guy michael nunn koed in
round 1 ? do you think you won that fight ?
answer-
Sumbu Kalambay was an elite boxer who got by Herol Graham and Michael McCallum when they were still undefeated. But he was a spoiler - type and I had to pack my bags and go to Italy for that fight. He was a spoiler and did not like to get stuck in or mix it. I believe the aggressor should win the round but obviously in Italy or Germany they don't see it like that. I lost a majority decision and it all depends on whether you judge a fight on aggression and will or spoiling tactics.
question-
If you could go back to the Mike McCallum fight what would you of done differently?
answer-
There's not much I could of done differently, he was the best all - arounder I ever shared a ring with and the best technician with the best left hook and best body punching. I was a novice pro and obviously very nervous and anxious with this being a world title fight so soon. I couldn't help the fact that I was nervous and froze early on. There's a reason why I pushed for the rematch and there's a reason why Michael wouldn't give me a rematch, both he and I know that if I got out of the blocks faster and had over 20 fights experience then I could of won. I believe I would of won a rematch with him, I wouldn't of wanted the rematch otherwise. I would of started faster and set a high tempo that the older pro wouldn't keep it up with.
question-
You were always a guy who pushed the envelope and and came to fight. James Toney LOVES fighters who come to him looking for a slugfest. How would you deal with his pretty clear advantages in handspeed, defense, and arsenal of counterpunches. How would you go about attacking James if he was on top of his game (I'm talking about the James Toney who dissected Iran Barkley and Prince Charles Williams).
answer-
I would work from the chest down early on so that's he's sapped for later on, Dave Tiberi almost stopped him with body shots. I'd tie him up, hit him with uppercuts with both hands. I would throw him off and do my stuff. Drake Thadzi beat him who I always got the better of inside - fighting in the gym. Merqui Sosa pressured him into a split decision and he wasn't up to much. I think James Toney was a little over rated.

Why do they pronounce Celtic differently? On the video I got he goes "we pronounce it 'Keltic', so we do".
It's Celtic, as in the old celts of England, scotland, Ireland and wales, isn't it, not as in celtic the soccer team.
The thing is, Collins knows he was never that good, and he was NEVER a big star.
Someone who knows I like boxing got me his video for Christmas (:rolleyes: ) and it's full of him deluding himself.
"I beat Eubank, so I did, he wasn't shot at all, so he wasn't. Then I beat Nigel Benn twice and he wasn't old or shot either, so he wasn't."
like i said, made his career with wins over fellow brits. not even
when they were in thier prime. eubanks workrate was a joke, benn
was never that good, just very exciting.
This is all probably bullshit. I mean the guy claims he is emailing Collins, yet shows no proof. Like some photos of him with Collins or what company he works for etc.

the funniest thing about these threads is that dublindestroyer only posts
questions that are similar to questions collins has been asked before
meaning that he can just reuse collins' original answers, making it look
like were actually talking with todays collins. just a sad way to trick
peeps into posting on his threads.
if steve wants my home phone number, he can phone me to settle this
