Watch some of his earlier fights, he was much more a cutie. As his career developed yes he relied on his chin and fought a more rugged style. But he was knocked down by a journeyman in his final bout, and admitted to being sparked in sparring by an Irish junior Champion, hence the reason he pulled out the Calzaghe bout. His punch resistance was on the way out, and that was nearly 20 years ago...

He must need the money Collins just wants a big purse, this is a farce RJJ or Calzaghe don't need
the money, but Collins does.
I remember him knocking out Chris Pyatt and it seemed like a man against a boy. Collins was massive. He started fighting in the UK because he got beat by the top fighters in the US.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Chris Pyatt was really a light middle weight, and against Collins it showed yep man against boy,
never a Collins fan, a tough guy but now at his age he's making himself look a fool.
He had his chance against Calzaghe, but here retired he was never good enough to beat
Joe or RJJ, maybe in his dreams.![]()
