RJJ / Steve Collins. Fight agreement?

[Rantcatrat]

That was a great video. I love those round table shows. Entertaining.

Is it me or do Steve Collins and Eubank still have immense dislike for each other?

[Spicoli]

I like Collins but a Reggie Johnson sharpshooting you and pin pointing uppercuts says Jones would have multiplied that big time. This happening now though is a carnival show and terrible. Jones is mocking his career and becoming a punchline to a bad knock knock joke. Save this shit for the circus.

Did someone actually say that prime Roy vs prime Collins would have been a fight that could have went either way? LOL

[imp]

Roy looks old.
Roy has been knocked out more than anyone around that table.
Steve would probably still ko roy if he gets thr chance danny green style.

Calzaghe was actually very quiet but he came across well but its a shame he was too young to be in that mix of watson benn and eubank.

Nigel benn and eubank would have prob beaten collins in their prime but after the mcclellan/watson drama both fighters werent the same.

Eubank wasnt in his prime in 95? Bullshit!

They were talking about checkers. Word is Collins is the man at it. And Jones ain't to shabby. So yeah it could go either way.

in a fight Collins would get slaughter

I really enjoy those Ringside Round table events, and this one was very good.



Some really interesting stuff came out of it:



Collins came across as a bit of a dick to be honest. He ambushed RJJ about the fight and he seemed quite bitter and angry about things. I guess he didn't make as much money as the other guys as he wasn't really a big name and he came after Benn/Eubank and before Calzaghe. I loved Eubank goading him about retiring to avoid Calzaghe, and when he called him a donkey - brilliant.



Eubank was Eubank - if you look past his silly affectations he often says some interesting things. I was surprised that he said he had no interest in fighting Jones as it would be 'suicide', and he clearly also really rated james Toney



Calzaghe was quiet, but with an 0 on his record, he can afford to be



Maybe it was just me, but I also thought RJJ was slurring his words a bit?



I used to spar with Richie Woodhall in Telford back in the day, and he is exactly the same as he was then. Great guy, intelligent and very modest. He was never an all time great, but he worked hard, good technician and made the most of his talent.



Oh and - had they fought years ago, RJJ toys with Steve Collins.



Once he went up to heavyweight and tried to come back down again, he was never the same fighter.
