    All three on the same level IMO. I'd pick Collins over Eubank prime for prime as Chris could be outworked at any time throughout his career, but styles make fights, and I find it a hell of a shame that Eubank didn't press for the big names Toney/Jones. Not saying he would've beat 'em, but he would have given them hell with his awkwardness and one of the best chins of his era.

    There were so many fights missed out on in the 90s Middleweight/Super Middleweight era.

    Nigel Benn vs Julian Jackson
    Mike McCallum vs Michael Nunn
    Chris Eubank vs James Toney
    Roy Jones vs Steve Collins

    And you could switch any of these names around, and there all still interesting match ups.

    Hes in shit at the moment(Collins) he was working for RTE at Bernard Dunnes fights at the national stadium, he had no pass when he arrived and punched some bouncers teeth out because he didn't recognise him and wouldn't let him in, sound fella
