Probably been brought up before but why did he stop at WBU level for so long, wasn't he good enough to fight for a genuine title, i never seen Colin so people are gunna have to help me out here, or is it just a case of he was getting paid good money for fighting at a level he felt comfortable at or did he actually believe he was a genuine world champ, any info would be appreciated.

He was a good fighter and entertaining, which is why TV liked him despite the peripheral route his career took.

He was a top ten lightweight according to RING magazine for months and months back in the day.

His win over Philip Holiday marked his arrival (from memory) and he had some entertaining scraps along the way but he was given an EMBARASSING gift versus moderate South African Martin Jacobs.

He looked shot to shit that night.
