    Prime eubank > Calzaghe

    This is the same steve collins who recently said something like this.

    "Haggler, Hearns and Leonard couldnt have survived in our era," (benn, eubank, Watson, Collins era)

    He talks pure ****e although he and benn were heavy in that commando's reality show on Ch5.

        Collins was a weak fighter who beat past it Benn and Eubank, both of those guys would have killed him in thier primes,

        I'd Love to See Steve Collins Vs Roy Jones at 168 back when Jones was champ, that would be good viewing, if you like boxing mixed with domestic abuse.

          Absolutely. Every other week he comes around saying how he was so ****ing good and all this bollocks, saying how he'd have beaten RJJ and Calzaghe and anyone else - would he ****. He could have fought Calzaghe but he gave his belt up instead. He was an okay fighter but he's a **** head that embarrasses himself with this ****

            Collins wasn't a weak fighter, look at the guys he fought and beat and the guys he lost to were great boxers.

              He's famous for retiring Benn and beating Eubanks, both of them were way past it,

              He had poor skills and was about as accurate as stevie wonder in a "pin the tail on the donkey" contest.

                  Realistically, Calzaghe couldnt really have fought Eubank any younger. He was still fairly green when he did take them on. So they may have been on their way out, but he wasnt exactly in his prime either.

                  Collins did very well for himself considering his limited ability, but he needs to learn that throwing his mouth around isnt going to help anything.

                    Bottom line is Steve Collins shouldnt be talking the crap he is talking now. He should have boxed Joe when he had the opportunity.

                      he did not thoroughly outbox eubank, he didnt even win imo. eubank was clearly robbed in the 1st fight.
