Collins was looking to get a big payday...hoping he could "sucker" a great fighter into fighting him....Kinda like Tarver....but RJJ wasn't taking the bait......he was looking for challenging fighters and bigger paydays....when Collins beat benn he was already a spent fighter after all the wars.....Benn lost to a then 41 year old Thulani Maglinga before the Collins fight....he was done....Collins pounced and beat an already fallen legend.....as for eubank...eubank lost 5 of his last 9 fights....he was at the end as well....Collins benifited from father time......not from being a better fighter....
