Why is Steve Collins not in the International Boxing Hall of Fame?

[Hulk]

Yeah but come on, he beat Nigel and Chris at the end of their careers.

He was a solid fighter for sure, I was impressed that he hung in there so well with Reggie Johnson (who is an INCREDIBLY underrated fighter) but I never saw Collins as anything special.

I've seen very little of Collins, but his resume is not HOF worthy imo.


Reggie "The Embezzler" Johnson was a fine Light Heavy. He holds a LEGIT knockdown of James Tony, which was once an incredible feat.


Watch what Roy Jones did to Reggie Johnson. Just shut him down from the get go.

Yeah, people who just look at stats and names and don't watch a lot of boxing sleep on a guy like Reggie Johnson. Reggie also beat Lamar Parks, who was poised to do big things in boxing before getting HIV and got robbed twice against Castro.

Also IMO beat and got robbed vs Tarver, even though he was old and past his best days.

Because he's not good enough nor famous enough.
