Collins was a good fighter, shame he had to retire when he did.

Great quote in the above link:
I was USA middleweight champion in the 1980's and Bernard Hopkins was also around then. But at that time we had fighters like Iran Barkley, Nigel Benn, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Mike McCallum, Michael Watson, Sambu Kalambay, Chris Eubank and many more talented contenders rated above Hopkins. I would not have classed The Executioner as a threat.

So true! Hopkins is grossly over-rated, 160 has been empty for 10 years now.
