    More and more Jones will have the on paper 'what ifs' with a few big name opportunities that he never pursued. Collins did well to run with and come within a point vs a far better and prime Johnson than Jones faced if anything.

    Eubank would have won the rematch had the ref awarded Eubank a genuine knockdown from a body shot. Collins hoodwinked the ref in to thinking it was a slip by running up to him and giving him his gloves to wipe down.

    Why was it "The last golden era of British boxing?"

    The title may as well been - "When nobody had SKY/Cable, the internet or social media"

    It was when 16 million people watched boxing on free national TV. Legendary.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
