Froch. Collins didn't mix in anywhere near the company Carl has (washed up fighters aside). Plus Carl was a natural super middle.

Collins was slow and lacked the pop and athleticism of Froch. Mind you, Collins was stubborn enough to last 12 rounds. 117-112 Froch, if not wider if he really concentrated on his boxing.

I think at 36 Froch is slowing down. His starts are getting increasingly pedestrian. With the loss of speed and the fact he is more hittable, a fight with Collins actually becomes more even. Edge to Froch, but it's a harder fight now.

Would be a helluva rough and tough contest. But Collins wins it.

Any fight u care to think of u can see froch being beaten.Collins fought in a tougher era but despite his and British middleweight historians revisionism during 89-93 Collins was an also run at mw never truly in the league of McCallum,toney,jones jnr,Jackson,mclellan ,Hopkins or even b level guys like kalambay.

Than he beats a shot benn twice and a still useful but past it Eubanks by hair line decisions.

Froch has beaten or found a way to beat far better fighters in Kessler,Taylor,groves,and Abraham and diesel. Froch at his best beats Collins in a very good fight but manages to over power him
