Oh right! That makes more sense. Yeah thanks for posting that I enjoyed it. I understand why Eubank annoys people and I know a few people that live in Brighton that say he's a massive bellend in real life (as was his son- a mate of mine grew up there and jnr had a reputation as a twat as well apparently) but personally I find him quite endearing. It was good that he pulled Collins up on his last minute duck of Calzaghe and didn't let it go until Collins was backed into making a poor excuse. Collins didn't come across very well I don't think: you could see yourself getting a photo and a chat out of all of them around that table but Steve doesn't seem the type.

Joe Calzaghe a man of few words as usual but when he talks I listen. Roy Jones obviously in his prime leagues above the rest of them with the exception of possibly Joe, but still doubtlessly the best fighter there. A prime Roy deals with a prime Collins fairly comfortably. To really have gotten the full picture you could have had Toney, Benn and maybe even Michael Watson there? But I suppose with Watson and Toney they're not the best advert for the game, what with one who can barely walk and another one who can barely talk. Benn would have been good value though.

In the papers at the time they were saying he blacked out in the ring.
The thinking at the time was that he was only going to take easy fights or big paydays. JC was the worst of both worlds.

Collins all talk? Where did that come from? He‘s a man of relatively few words. Why would he be skint as well, he has a farm, horses etc. Talking of Collins, isn’t this the episode where Eubank called him a donkey and tried to frame it as a compliment. Nice one, Chris. As entertaining as he is, you can see why he rubs people up the wrong way.

This is the one where Eubank called him a fox. Have a watch, it's entertaining stuff, Collins came across as bitter and was trying to make a fight with Jones. Eubank pushed him on why he didn't fight JC and Collins started waffling.

Woodhall is class along with Calzaghe,Eubank was sharp and too much for Collins who was clearly cheesed off at times and wouldn't let it drop about him ducking Joe.Did Collins say Eubank had 3 straight losses before the Calzaghe fight ?
