      A link? It's common knowledge that Jones vacated the WBC belt when Nunn was mandated - it happened. Famously Rocchi sued the WBC for tens of millions.

          Yes...A link.

          Apparently not so common.

          Now, if you're finished stalling, how about that link ?

            You have access to Google. I'm not babysitting you. It's part of boxing history, and something Chris Eubank can never be accused of

            Calzaghe pulled out of fights, Jones gave up his belt to duck a fighter, Collins did both... Eubank most certainly not, he was the real deal and its inarguable.

              The time it took you to type that crap, you could have provided a link

                I've watched that thing a couple of times, think it was originally aired quite a few years ago. I've never ranked Steve Collins that highly, don't know why. He seems to be up his own ass big time. Makes out like Roy was running scared, but then retired rather than fight a green Calzaghe himself. Still to this day is in denial about ducking Joe. I liked how Chris Eubank held him to account for that.
                its way more likely to do with joe and his manager, they made a career of saying they were lining up some name and then fighting someone who had no chance instead. Collins never did that.

                  Frank Warren. He bled Ricky Hatton dry with the WBU run

                    Did you watch the video? Steve Collins openly admits he didn't have any interest in fighting Joe Calzaghe, he was looking for money fights and couldn't motivate himself to fight little known upstarts. It isn't opinion but fact that this happened, c'mon man. The wider opinion at the time is that Collins had nothing to gain from fighting a young beast like Calzaghe, and a lot to lose, and I'd agree with that. Both sides of the coin are understandable.

                      According to Jones himself, Eubank was the only guy he had reservations about facing and who he considered a risk.
                      Eubank is not even close to Roy Jones’ level.

                      They are leagues apart.
