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

[denilson200]

Does the IBHOF have something against him? Also Benn and Eubank? I get Calzaghe of course, but come on, these guys deserve to be in there.

Steve Collins ? Get real

For what ? Beating a past it Eubank and Benn ? Yeah sure Eubank was only 29 when they fought but was an old 29 and as for Benn, well after McClellan, no fighter could ever be the same after that

Look. James Toney is not in the I.B.H.O.F nor is Hopkins or Roy Jones and are you seriously trying to tell me Collins was better than them ?

Maybe they'll all get in when they all finally decide to call it time once and for all, but Collins should not be in I.B.H.O.F, because to get in, it's not just about quality but it's about the drama, excitement you brought into the ring, that's why a guy Gatti is in

The only UK fighters from the last 50 years who have got in the I.B.H.O.F have been Lennox Lewis (And whether he was a UK fighter is another matter) Joe Calzaghe and Barry McGuigan

Do you really think Steve Collins deserves a seat alongside those ?

Don't forget Collins was schooled IN HIS PRIME by Reggie Johnson and Sumbu Kalambay ? "Who" I hear you say....yeah they were good fighters but to get in the I.B.H.O.F he has to be beaten them. Fair play, he also lost to Mike McCallum, no disgrace there

To me Collins has been dining out for the past 15 years, on his victories over faded Eubank and Benn

Toney, Hopkins and Jones are not in because 5 years have not gone by yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why I said "Maybe they'll all get in when they all finally decide to call it time once and for all"
