    I don't think Collins was really that good, He beat Eubank and Benn because he caught them when they were past their primes, I think both beat him in their primes.

    Benn and Eubank are 2 of my favourite British fighters, More so Benn, But i don't think either will go down as ATGs really, Maybe British greats but that's about it imo.
    joe probably will. the division is only 20 or so years old and he's been champ what 10 years? the wbo being accepted as a major org in recent years really helps his legacy. jones and toney might be better but they didn't stay at 168 long.

    i think benn beats joe tbh prime vs. prime.

      It depends what Joe imo, When he was a puncher or since he has had bad hands

      I think the puncher Joe would try to take Benn out and fail and get overwhelmed by Benns ferosity and power. The newer, non power reliant Joe would probably be able to outbox Benn to win a decision, But Benn has a very good chance of winning it. Especially with Joes bad hands.

          eubank was the king of gift decisions i swear. i've seen 3 or 4 fights where he clearly lost and was given the decision and i've also heard of even more but haven't seen them where he should have lost but won. why is this guy considered a good fighter? he should have at least ten losses(most in his so called prime) but wait calzaghe beat him omgggggggggg go crazy folks go crazy!

            Hey Herby where did you find Collins Eubank 2? I've been looking for both of those fights for years. Havn't seen them since they were shown live on tv.
