Steve Collins: "Roy Jones ducked me !" [VIDEO]

Collins is a future Hall of Famer, and those who say Benn, Eubank and Collins were jokes don't know what they are talking about. When Benn beats Iran Barkley, those wins don't count. But when Duran beats Barkley, it is so awesome it is unreal, right? Some people here have no clue about Collins, Benn and Eubank

He spent years chasing a unification. The Pensicola incident was after he'd already retired and got sick of chasing Roy. Roy then said Collins had to beat Calzaghe to get a shot, Collins was in camp preparing for Joe when he suffered a blackout and had to undergo brain scans. tough break...but didn't jones make an offer to collins before all of this, to which collins turned down...

Wins over Benn and Eubank arent impressive. UK fans always overrate their champions. Benn and Eubank were overrated and Collins didnt dominate either of them. Nobody outside the UK would even know who Nigel Benn is if it weren't for his fight with McClellan. Iran Barkley and Doug DeWitt might know him, he KO'd both in the States. Gerald McClellan was the third notable American Benn beat, and let's not forget who McClellan beat in the amateurs (clue, his initials were RJJ). All three of them were jokes compared to Roy. Like I said if he fought every guy who wanted a piece he'd have to fight everyday for his whole life. If you want to talk jokes, the real joke in all this is that Roy was a drugs cheat and half the fighter after he was caught. But putting that to one side, Steve Collins wasn't just 'any guy', he was a world champion, a credible opponent.

He also beat Reggie Johnson when Johnson was very good, in his prime though he got robbed. Steve Collins was nails, his resume, everything about him is underrated and with all due respect to Roy, I can guarantee Collins would of been a lot tougher fight than most of the bums he fought at the times Collins was calling him out. Roy has gone on record and said Eubank would of gave him hell. I dont think many on here realise how good prime Eubank was or that British era tbh but if it was Americans you can be sure you'd of never heard the end of it. Collins beat an undedeated Eubank twice! & Benn twice, Pyatt etc

So He retired and calls out Jones Jr while he retired but ducked Calzaghe at the same time. Jones Jr vs Frazier 01/09/1999 Collins last fight was 07/05/1997 puts it to bed for me....

Tell that to Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn. He went the distance with Mike McCallum too. You clearly don't know much about him. Iirc Collins was suffering blackouts and had to retire.

He may as well have been a fan. Dude was a talentless nobody. If Roy was to fight every guy who ever wanted a shot at him he'd have to fight millions of times. Steve Collins lmao Tell that to Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn. He went the distance with Mike McCallum too. You clearly don't know much about him. Didnt Collins duck Calzaghe? I doubt Collins had the power or skill to hurt Jones back then. But yea, Jones should have fought a handful of world class fighters, and for one reason or another chose not to. Iirc Collins was suffering blackouts and had to retire.

Well I believe there was alot of potentially good fights at 168 that Roy could've been in.

lol steve collins hahahahaha ?.....................

was steve collins, ever the #1 contender to jones 168 title or 175 titles at any time? i mean, seems like roy went thru everybody @ 175...tarver staked his claim by beating just about everbody roy beat and got his shot...
