Just read this and looks like its on
Freakshow.?
pretty much. No old men and one who hasn't fought in a million years. Just bizarre, Roy just wants a pay day.Quote:

in what way is it a freakshow?
these two arent the force they work but they are still good enough a few levels down
whats wrong with that? i watch plenty of lower level fights and enjoy them, id much rather see this one
people pay money to watch football "Legends" play who couldnt cut it anywhere near the top, whats the difference?
Have an exhibition by all means but don't ply it as a legit fight.
Didn't Steve Collins retire in the mid 90s? wtf boxing? really?
Hey!
If boxing has taught us anything, it's that comeback can be either great or disastrous.
Steve Collins was a BEAST! He never did anything to ever receive any negative comments from you idiots.
As far as I can see, he retired great and he will return great.
At least he didn't do what Jones has done and just fade into a laughing stock of a boxer.
Idiots is a bit harsh...
Who sanctions horseshit like this??? To start I'm talking about Jones continuing to "fight" let alone Collins coming out of the seniors home. I got respect for Collins, but come on man. Boxing fans are conned enough with bad judges and mismatches as it is.

Pick your poison, look in the mirror, then accept it.
If your giving Collins respect for trying to get a fight at this stage of his life, (we cant say career!) then dont.Quote:

Theres loads of examples of once good fighters coming back against seemingly lower tier fighters, justblook at Hatton, or Tyson. They retire for a reason. For Collins to be competative he would need some low level bums to have a handfull of warmups but he doesnt want that which ismwhynI think its more to do with cash.
Iv got nothing against old fighters coming out of retirement to fight fellow old fighters, like Azumah Nelson against Jeff Fennech, Nelson was 50 and hadnt fought for 10 years! He put up a good show but Collins doesnt have the skill that Nelson has and the shots he used to take 16 years ago will drop him now.

Are you Steve Collins.?
I hope no one puts the money up for this. This is shameful.
The tiny Island Of Malta is bidding to host this ;-). Its between Sicilly and North Africa for those that don't know...
Steve Collins has recentley been over their and I think is Director of Boxing too ;-).
LOL boxing
If Collins wants to get it out of his system, thats up to him. It's his life.
I'll watch for sure.
It isn't as though Collins is talking about world domination.
He retired many years ago, he was on his last legs then and avoided Joe at the time after being knocked out/down in sparring. Imagine what sort of shape Steve will be in now.Quote:

I agree that Collins will not be in great shape and has seen better days. At his age he is probably at greater risk too. I don't epect to see a quality fight and the more I think about it RJJ will most likely annihilate him. When it was first announced I thought Collins might have a chance of a shocking stoppage but he'll probably be fucked after 3 rounds.Quote:

Who knocked Collins out in sparring just out of interest?

Was it really .? Haha ... Apparantley Collins has been 'hitting things' in the gym since Dec.?!?!?
The article was in Belfast times or Telagraph... I'm using a bberry so.don't think links I post work for some reason ;-)
17 years is out is beyond most fighters careers these days...well beyond infact...at least jones has been fairly active in recent years (in between getting knocked unconcious) :-)
Rumour was Collins also had headaches and black outs.Quote:

Colins was crap 20 years ago and made a name for himself be beating past their sell by date legends... He pulled out of the only fight I wanted to see him in as he was wise enough to want none of Calzaghe.
luckily Jones is shot to shit so its prob a more decent matchup than it would have been then... I don't begrudge them a payday and will watch it 100% if it comes off :cool:
Oh Roy is going down the Holyfeild route expect his fundamentals are not as good and his chin. I hope he hangs it up because he is going to get hurt at at some point not this fight though.
Saddo himself knows Collins stood no chance against prime Jones Jr.Quote:
