Steve Collins vs. Roy Jones Jr.

[bzkfn]

Collins is messed up in the head

He hasn't fought since 97 and now 16 years later wants to fight in a professional bout with an opponent who is still dangerous?

This fight won't even generate any money so I don't see any reason for him to do it

RJJ must've gotten punched one to many times in the head as well ... he should've retired 10 years ago himself

If they fought in the 90s he would've just been another bum that Roy embarrassed ... especially at 168. I didn't even know who this guy was or if he had ever won anything until I googled him ... he won a WBO strap at 168 but he's pretty much a nobody

You didn't know who he was? He dethroned Eubank, and beat him in the rematch. He beat Benn twice too. He was hardly a bum or a nobody just because you didn't know him.

I think after 16 years Collins might have a bit of ring rust! I think Collins will gas he is way to old to comeback and compete in the pro's.

Collins was a strong celtic warrior but Eubank and benn were not in there prime.

Benn was never the same after gerald mcclellan and eubank not the same fighter after the second benn fight, he might have won a few after but he was not mentally right.

Great start to 2013. First Malinaggi Mosley and now this atrocity. The hits just keep on coming.

Eh I honestly didn't know who he was ... I do remember him being brought up as a potential opponent for Roy maybe once ... maybe it would've been competitive then but now he hasn't fought in nearly 2 decades so there is no point

1 million was mentioned for this mismatch/joke

This silly shit wont happen.

Dubai? They always schedule these freakshow matches for Dubai. Tyson, Holyfield, Naz, Roy have all been linked with spectacular comebacks in Dubai over the years, did they ever happen?

If John "The Golden Greek" Tolos and "Killer" Kowalski could, in their late 60s, get together to fight in a no ropes, exploding ring death match, then these two sissies should be able to fight with padded gloves on. At least they won't blown up or be set aflame.

I had no idea you were such a pro wrestling fan.

Was this match in Japan ?

Sounds like it.

This is meaningless and I seriously but SERIOUsLY hope that Jones is only doing it in order to retire on a victory and call it a day.
