Anyone Who Thinks Steve Collins Was Lucky Vs Benn/Eubank Watch This.

His great fight vs a prime Reggie Johnson.

Collins looks poor, he could never handle world class slick boxers, McCallum being the best he fought. Benn suited him more but Steve did not look that impressive. Remember Steve beating Pyatt with ease, come forward fighters suited him better.

The Man Beat Benn Twice And Eubank Twice. He Then Finished His Career With A Nice Winning Streak. Nothing Shabby About That.

He was a really good fighter - new his limitations and used his best attributes to win fights. Credit fdor completlely outpsyching and beating Eubank, BUT (and I know this is said about a lot of fighters) the Nigel Benn he fought was a shell of the old Benn. Having said that I would actually give Collins a good shot at beating a prime Benn.

True style wise Benn suited Collins but the later Benn was more experienced and better defensively, so the Benn that fought Eubanks the second time and McClellan would have beaten Collins.

I dont think he was lucky against a Weight drained Eubank or a washed up Nigel Benn.
