Steve Collins makes boxing comeback in Lancaster - The visitor
Printable View
I don't understand this obsession with coming back and fighting Jones Jr beyond the money motive. It's a pointless fight being out a decade and a half. If Jones is going to fight it should be something fun like James Toney. Who on earth cares less about Collins/Jones Jr? I don't want to see it in the slightest, it doesn't even have a curiosity factor as I don't rate Collins all that highly. At least Eubank had the balls to fight Calzaghe.
Still, fair play on getting the win. However, I don't want to encourage him.
the fella he fought was 52?
What a freak show. He thinks a 3 rounded vs a guy even older than him prepares him for Roy Jones? He hasn't fought a real fight in 16 years. Roy Jones just fought and beat an undefeated, ranked 30 year old last year. It's no contest.
Collins ducked Calzaghe cuz he was done with boxing apparently so this comeback contradicts jus excuse
Collins caught eubanks and benn on the slide bigtime. He is a good fighter but roy jones would pick him apart at any stage.Quote:

I don't know!
Ican understand why people don't want it but I can't understand why Steve wants closure!!
What's roy scared of ey? Steve would beat gunn and toney now and he's fresh !
Get it over and done with
Collins is 50 years old ffs, there is no assurance he would beat me. Hopefully Jones retires, but fighting Collins would be zero risk if he wants to dick around like that.
It was only a piss around exhibition but that was also an out of shape 52 year old ex welter weight and it looked as if Collins had to hold a few times.
In an exhibition you are exhibiting your skills. If thats the best Collins has now, he wouldnt last 2 or 3 rounds with Jones now.
Let em fight if they want to. Why not?
Because they would make out it is the biggest fight in boxing between legends and worthy of PPV.Quote:
