    Calzaghe by decision, I have to admit I didn't see much of Collins though. I seen his fights against Benn and Eubank but clips of it and he didn't look all that good. Especially against Eubank, he actually looked real bad. And didn't he like elbow Benn in the face in their fight? I could be remembering incorrectly, but I thought the clips I saw of him fighting Benn he was fighting extremely dirty I thought...

      Yeah would be a great matchup. Collins got good power but i can see Calzaghe winning this by UD.

        collins has the better resume. he beat eubank twice while he was still champ(unlike calzaghe) and benn twice. not to mention he challenged good fighters in their primes like mcallum, johnson, and kalambay. collins would win when calzaghe gets scared and pulls out the night before the fight(again)

            not sure about this one, Collins was one tough mother f....., but Calz is smart enough in the ring to outbox him. Not sure how it would end up. Either Collins KO or Calz UD

              collins had a great chin, was a tough SOB and had good power as well. however his wins over benn and eubank were over jaded competition that had been in one too many wars, however that sid he still beat them and deserves credit for it.

              calzaghe imo would trade with him early on because calzaghe can't help it, however in the later rounds i see calzaghe coasting to a UD by putting his boxing skills, speed and combination punching on display.

                I think Calzaghe would take a wide decision.

                Neither hit hard enough to have much chance of knocking out the other, as they both had very good chins.

                IMO Calzaghe is better than Collins in almost every department.
