September 1995 and just six months after their first fight, Steve Collins was putting the title he had won from the former champion on the line in Cork.

Steve Collins is relentless, he just doesn't stop.

[@1man1bike1road]

yeah not a good style for eubank who liked to take big breaks

[@Gray-zi5bp]

Eubank just finishing Steve Collins in the 12th if yes would have went on the attack like he's always done . Any attack on Collins in the end of the first flight the referee would have just ended the fight just think eubank did not want to hurt anybody else . Has all big boxes agreed at the time eubank should retire he can no longer finished a fight.. and as for Ben the fight he had with McCallum took it all out of him he had nothing left in the tank . Collins was a good fighter but he would not have beaten them at their peek ... What's the hunger has gone it's gone especially when you don't want to hurt nobody . Anybody could have finished Collins off in that last round just take a look at it and tell me that you wouldn't be able to finish that yourself. 💯🇬🇧🇯🇲👍

Collins is the same age as Nigel Benn & fought top quality fighters for yrs,losing on a split decision to Mike McCallum and Kulumbay( who beat Errol Graham) and he was a clever Counter Puncher,who was never stopped ( at that point) So there was a very good reason why they never fought!

Yes Collins was good but it was never no match for a peek eubank or a peek Ben . And I do respect Collins because even Collins has said this in the past.

Even when Johnny said 46 tried that method against Joe and lost . Calzaghe would of hit Collins for fun for 12 rounds !

[@wazzzappening4848]

Collins may have mixed it up with the likes of Frock,Kessler, Ottke, Beyer or Groves.But the work rate of Calzaghe or skill of Ward no way.

[@leescammell9988]

@@wazzzappening4848 he more than mixed it with fighters just as good as them (Johnson,Kalambay,Eubank 1)

[@franklyn9642]

irish man decent ! That’s it ! Not world class like Joe ! Any top super middle would have hit him for fun !

[@timothyconnor7166]

Man if yall think Collins could last 5 rounds with a prime Roy Jones Jr u lying to yourself. James Toney wouldve destroyed him too. This ma was talking so reckless on gloves off i had to see what he was made of and its not enough

[@storminboy]

@@timothyconnor7166 Jones Jr vs Collins = Jones too much for anybody at super middle. Snapping uppercuts, speed, awkward angles etc etc.. Jones beats Collins with maybe 2 knockdowns but hard fight. Collins vs Toney = If the best Toney turns up- late stoppage by Toney with outstanding inside work. James Toney chin best I've seen for years.

Steve caveman collins

[@rothsteina]

Collins was willing to die in the ring, give his life in that ring, and thats why he won. Eubank at this stage was already made, and loaded. The hungry Irishman sick of potatoes came to fight and got his just reward.

[@tom11zz884]

No skills whatsoever...lol

[@zaintlouis]

amateur boxing?

[@annahawula2427]

says in the description - "September 1995 and just six months after their first fight, Steve Collins was putting the title he had won from the former champion on the line in Cork. Both men had visited the canvas in the first fight and this WBO World Super middleweight championship contest had all the hallmarks of an epic battle."

[@zaintlouis]

@@annahawula2427 but they really fought like amateurs sorry

[@Campcrystal1]

Collins has no accuracy..... Good at wrestling 😂

[@annahawula2427]

Good at beating Eubank twice also it seems.

[@Campcrystal1]

@@smuilc I know the lunacy of it😂

[@johnmc3862]

Sure that’s why Roy Jones junior didn’t want to fight him.

[@Campcrystal1]

@@johnmc3862 Jones only wanted to fight the Best and that's where the money was.

[@stephenhind5187]

Why does betty mcguigan get a say? He was a little nobody.

[@johnmc3862]

What? BS.
