Roy Jones Jr would have destroyed Collins inside of 5 rounds.

I hate when people say Roy Jones had a weak chin. Collins can say all he wants, Jones beat far superior boxers than him and it took 49(there abouts) fights before anyone finally caught him clean on the chin, and that was only after he had drained 2 full weight classes to fight. Roy Jones is one of the greatest boxers to have ever lived, period. He would have destroyed Collins and it saddens me that Roy continues to fight as its a utter shame.

I loved Steve Collins, but I don't think he would have beaten Roy Jones. He was a tough guy, but I would expect Jones to win a clear and comfortable points decision had they fought.

Steve Collins was a fine champion, he worked for all of his success and came up through the ranks the hard way. Im proud to be from the same country as him. Roy Jones, in his prime was maybe the best boxer ever. Steve would have been embarrassed by him so Im glad it never happened. Jones embarrassed two all time greats in Hopkins and Toney, yes Hopkins beat Jones in the rematch years after Jones prime but we are talking primes here and Jones was incredible.

I remember at that time Roy would not fight the top fighters, I really wanted to see Roy vs Collins I don’t know who would have won but it would’ve been a helluva fight. Roy always played it safe
-
It means alot for the two fighters. they were on sky sports about a week or 2 ago and Collins really wants this fight. Jones shook his hand at the end of the show and said he was looking forward to it. Won't be the prettiest fight but will have lots of heart.
-
Jones had every opportunity to fight Collins, yet was happy enough to continue to take low quality opponents for the easy money. Jones, and Jones fans, can make any claims that they would like, but the fact remains, Roy Jones Jr. refused to fight Steve Collins.
-
He should of called him out like tarver did instead of crying about it now. Tarver got what he wanted
-
Jones was a paper champion...hand picked most of his fights. Jones was a runner with a glass jaw.
-
Steve give me and my father some of are best memories together thinks Steve think you
-
No, he called Roy out many times. I saw it in overseas video. Roy didn't want Collins, Eubank, or Benn. He (Roy) didn't even call Collins out until TWO YEARS after Collins retired. Roy didn't want any part of the European champions. He wanted to fight Derrik Harmond, Glenn Kelly, Cliton Woods. Fighters he could "get himself up for". But were not deserving of title shots....vs fighters that were two time world champs (Benn & Eubank), or lineal champs (Michaelchezwiski).

i wish larry would have opened up a bit more there.....great upload
-
Steve Collins in his prime stood not 1 fuckin chance of beating Roy Jones jnr END OF Roy Jones was theeeeeee best
-
So lets see - let the fight happen
-
We'll never know Steo was sumthing special but we'll never know the full potential. Love him to pieces but roy jones was a different animal or so I thought till the Welsh Rocky made an absolute show of him. Would have loved to see all these lads do it in their prime sadly boxing is politics and money
-
It was and still is "All about that money" If you are not a prize fighter they will not get in the ring to get banged up for crumbs. Roy's response to Collins is telling this fact. Fighting for glory is over. The money is the reason today.
-
Colllins gave every fighter he fought problems. I think it would have been a great fight Jones on points. If Jones had of retired after the Ruiz fight Roy could have ranked alongside Sugar Ray Robinson as TBE and Roy would have a strong argument never the same after going to heavyweight.
-
after what fight was this? this looks like late 90s roy.
-
lmao steve collins mad tht roy is 3 times the fighter he is. steve collins goes in 4 against jones if steves lucky roy will let him go a full 6
-
I think roy would've beat steve collins by decision but I think it would've been a tough fight and I do think roy avoided him
