Roach: Stevie definately could of beaten Roy Jones

[oldgringo]

He was in tip-top shape, he needed this win to set-up his big win against Jones (not that he hadn't already beaten Jones).

priceless...

Yeah, he defended his IBF title five times - and none of those five opponents were even ranked in the top 10 at 168. You can't really count Toney, because Toney was in no fit state to fight that night.

Nigel Benn is the #1 at 168, of all-time. He was brilliant under Jimmy Tibbs (he was with Tibbs from Galvano 92 through to Giminez 94), boxing very intelligently. Then the McClellan fight.

Benn was robbed against the undefeated Chris Eubank and beat the seemingly invincible Gerald McClellan, he'd won the WBC title in Italy and made 10 defences but was never the same after the McClellan fight. His performances against Piper and Wharton were ****ing flawless, Benn was more impressive at 168 to me than Jones because Benn didn't run away like Jones he stayed in front of them and just ducked and weaved to avoid punches.

BENN SUCKS!! Get it?

Collins was a strange fighter, if u watch his fights with Kevin Watts, Tony Thornton, Mike Mc Callum, Reggie Johnson & Sumbu Kalambay he actualy shows some good boxing skills!!! he was capable of throwin sharp combinations, he looked good for a white boy. But if u watch his fights with Eubank he looks more like a pub brawler, one of the times he swung at Eubank in their second fight he almost fell out of the ring! it was completely different fighter to the old Collins, 95/96/97 Collins ****** but was more effective i guess in that clumsy, rugged 'walk forward nonstop' style.

i personaly think he would of possibly suffered brain damage against RJJ though
