Unpopular opinion , and I hate myself for saying this because I can’t fucking stand Steve Collins, but he beat previous champions in Benn and Eubank TWICE EACH in title fights. I know the old “both fighters were shot” scenario, hell I use it myself most of the time, but you have to be consistent and take emotion out of it.
There’s even a case for Frampton being above McGuigan. 2 weight World Champion and all that.
But let’s be fair , McGuigan won the title on an emotion packed night and fair play to him . But he only successfully defended it twice. Then we have the old “Dehydration” gate against Cruz.
And Let’s be honest, Azumah Nelson would’ve fucking battered him!
Sorry @Master, I’m not deliberately being a cunt.
