could steve collins punch?

[ICB]

Collins didn't drop Eubank, he tripped over as he was moving backwards, Collins glanced his chest at best.. obviously it was counted though

Yea it was obviously a balance issue, but i still remember Steve Collins landing a solid right hand to the body.

Its on this clip at 2:23 mark, from that angle it only looks like a glancing blow. But im sure when i had this fight, the replay showed it landing more solidly than that angle suggests. But maybe im thinking of another fight.

Doesn't even look like he touched him. Definitely a nothing knockdown.

Eubank is surprised when the ref starts counting - "slip, slip"

[BIG H]

Yeh you're right, didn't even touch him

The shot that Eubank put Collins down with was a proper knockdown. Eubank went down from a body shot sue to balance. Benn was horribly wahed up by the time Collins got to him and I dont think Steve wanted any part of Calzaghe which would have been his chance to prove he could beat a prime fighter .

remember Collins KO Pyatt at middleweight in 5 rounds. At middleweight he could punch a bit.

Yep, Collins was having doubts about his chances with Joe and when with less than a couple of weeks to go he got beat up insparring by the smaller Howard Eastman and that put the shiits up him.

Eubank was scheduled to face Mark Prince at light heavy on the same card which was billed as "the full monty" I think, he took the chance to fight for the vacant title that Collins relinquished against Calzaghe, Eubank always had a lot of weight to shift, so that week before the fight hed have had between 4 and 7 pounds to get down to light heavy, let alone another 7lbs to face Calzaghe in his prime, so to have to lose over 10lb's in a week then try and outwork Joe Calzaghe over 12 rounds is a big ask but even now Joe still says that Eubank gave him his hardest fight, Chris also had Joe out on his feet in the final seconds

I think a prime Super middle Eubank at the very least loses a split decision against Joe, Eubank was an awesome fighter, he was put down as being arrogant and a ponce but youd be hard pushed to find a man as genuinely hard as Chris was

Collins was lucky he came along when he did and did a Haye and pulled out of a fight when he did

[Master]

Did not realise that Eubanks was going to fight Mark Prince who was a big puncher and stood a good chance of beating Eubanks at light heavy.

id have rather seen the original card go ahead

Eubank vs Prince - Interesting fight . Eubank would have had tough fight and would have struggled but I think Prince' chin and stamina would have let him down late.

Calzaghe - Collins - Joe would have punched holes in Collins giving him the biggest beating of his career
