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

[holmcall]

After amassing an 82-8 amateur record, Collins fought from 1986 through 1997 and retired with a 36-3 record. Amazingly, he book-ended his career with 16 wins at the start and 15 at the end–with a beginning and ending TKO as icing on the cake. The last nine were world title fights. Even more impressive is that this dominant iron-chinned Irishman retired as WBO Super Middleweight Title holder, something few champions ever accomplish.

He could easily get in with his credentials and the only reason I posted those others was to show just how inconsistent the suits are who ultimately decide. Some of them probably work at flower shops.
There are all kinds of people with less credentials then Steve already in there. Today, all you seem to need is a belt for reasonable amount of time. Primo Canera is in there ffs.

Collins got beat by the top US fighters and so came to the UK and was lucky enough to face faded Eubanks and Benn.

He lost on points to Johnson barely, the body snatcher and Kalambay. Those three loses dont discount him my friend. He then went on to beat Eubank twice in 6 months and knockout Benn twice in 4 months and remained undefeated for the remainder of his career. There are guys in the hall with a lot more questionable records then him.

You jut dont like him cause he's Irish

Well pog mo thoin
