Although I don't rate Collins as one of the best and in his prime I think Benn beats him, I don't think Benn would have stopped him. Collins was only knocked down once I think. He only lost to 3 great boxers in McCallum, Johnson and Kalambay but thats why I don't rate him highly. He beat a past it Benn and Eubank and when he stepped up to people who were in or near their primes (the 3 above) he lost. I don't think he ever beat a great fighter in thier prime and for that reason I wouldn't have him as the top SM/
