"Don't you go tellin me I aint wanna fight nobody, I bend over backwards tryin to get my pops to get me in with Terry Norris in 1990, tryin to fight Terry Norris. A few years later you got Nunn gonna fight whoever comes out on top out of Benn or Eubanks and I was gonna fight whoever came out on top of that, but Benn and Eubanks drew and then Nunn lost so what could I do? Nunn and Benn fightin in England on same card, they both win and fight eachother, I gonna fight the winner of that but Nunn went and lost didnt he. So then as soon as Nunn loses I tries to get hold of Michael Moorer, if he wins the heavyweight title I gonna fight him, he won the title and then he not wanna fight me, wouldn't do it. I was gonna fight all the mother ****ers when I was coming up, now I'm on top so I just fights whoever they put in my way. If my opponents aint good enough for you, that aint my fault. I dont wipe em' out I shut em' out, just shut em' out, all of em', I could wipe em' out but I left RJ behind a long while ago. So dont ya'll go tellin me. I put a whoopin on everyone I ever fought and I'll keep doin it til I get bored and cant be bothered to do it no more" Roy Jones Jnr 2001

Collins could of taken Roy to places that Roy has never been before if he stuck to him like glue and made it get ugly on the inside. Collins was so determined against Eubank and beyond,awesome infact. But Collins back in his middleweight days was just a tough boxer-puncher/counter-puncher,although the only fighter he truly lost to at middleweight was Mike McCallum when he froze and gave away the first half of the round. He was robbed by back-to-back losses in his opponents backyards and lost faith for years until getting his chance against Eubank,finding fame and fortune overnight. Even though he was a formidable opponent at middleweight,he was better than ever against Eubank. He completely changed his boxing style into an all-out slugger/marauding warrior for Eubank and it worked so he stuck to it,That Collins was a world-beater. Collins was a ****ing BEAST at 168.
Collins first wanted to fight Roy after Roy beat Hopkins because Collins was IBF number one contender at the time,then a year later he wanted a unification fight with Roy at middleweight in 1994. But I really do not think that Collins in the days before he called himself the Celtic Warrior even stood a chance against Roy (Collins didn't call himself the Celtic Warrior until he was in his 30s),not a single chance. However that marauding warrior beast in his 30s definately stood a chance!
Pull your head out your ass, Collins stands no chance against Roy Jones Junior. He wouldn't of stood a chance against a PRIME Eubank or a PRIME Benn either. Eubank was robbed at Mill Street on that St Patricks Day 10 years ago, & Collins used disgraceful tactics beforehand anyway. Benn was totally shot after McClennan fight.
That's exactly what Sam Soliman said about Hatton's chances against Tszyu
Hatton was nine yrs younger than Zoo and Zoo had been very inactive. Collins was five yrs older than RJJ and RJJ had been putting on breathtaking displays every couple mnths.
Hatton is better than Collins
RJJ is better than Zoo
