    Default RJJ / Steve Collins. Fight agreement?

    Anybody watch "The gloves are off" last night on sky sports?

    Collins asked Roy for the fight right at the end and they shook on it.

    I really wanna see this fight!

    I know they're both past it, but god damn it I'm nostalgic lol.

    The Gloves are Off - The Super Middleweights | Video | Watch TV Show | Sky Sports

    I'm on my iPad and the video only works on desktop computers so I can't check if its the whole show.

    But it seems like it is.

    It's such a good watch.

    I think everyone wanted to jab Eubank.

    I disagree, Collins was a top planner, he figured out some very good world champions and beat them, then figured out what they'd do in the rematch and beat them again.

    Plus he was tough as old boots.

    Roy may have won the fight years ago, but something in him knew it was a rock, hence one of the biggest dodges in recent boxing history.

    back in the day it would have been a cracking fight to watch and could have gone either way

    i side with jones now tho simply because he has been active

    i think he'll win by stoppage by about 8

    The only thing he figured out where they were no longer in there prime when he fought them. Benn was a shell of what he once was when Collins got him. And Eubank pretty much became a pussy after the Watson fights. Collins was a tough fighter. But he was tailor made for Jones. He would of had as much success against Jones as Clinton Woods had

    Whether collins has been training hard or not he hasnt been fighting.

    Collins is strong and a true warrior but he seemed to miss the best of his main opponents primes..and why was there no calzaghe fight.

    Jones would have toyed with collins if they ever met.

    Because Collins retired after getting knocked out in sparring by Howard Eastman.

    That was a great video. I love those round table shows. Entertaining.

    Is it me or do Steve Collins and Eubank still have immense dislike for each other?

    Those of you who say Jones ducked Collins are seriously losing it. Collins was a nobody in the grand scheme of things. Collins got knocked our by Michael Walker in 1989 and Chris Eubank in 1990. Why would Jones take a perceived easy KO fight with Collinsaftwr those losses when he was busy fighting Bernard Hopkins and James Toney? Beating a past his prime Nigel Benn who was coming in off of a loss is not really impressive, no matter how you want to frame it. If Chris Eubank is a win that's suppose to say made Roy Jones duck Collins then I don't know what world your living in.

    Collins got Knocked out by Walker and Eubank? Collins beat Eubank twice in 95 and Benn twice in 96. It would have been a big fight for Jones, bigger then Bannon, Friffin or Hill that he fought at that time. RJJ beats Collins imo but Collins would have given him more trouble then the other guys he was fighting
