Steve Collins Fights Again

[Gandalf]

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.

Let them fight. I would watch..on a stream,

Steve needs to forget about Roy but should aim to fight Flintoff.

Well, his next is 54!

He's proper sharpening up for Roy Jones!

Steve Collins has eye on Roy Jones Jnr ahead of return to ring

Spot on.

Jones Jr -v- Collins was not even that attractive a matchup in 1996, so what makes Collins think that the world wants to see that fight 17 years later when he's practically 50 & Jones Jr is more washed up than James Toney's favourite spoon is beyond me.
