Froch vs Collins

The Irish warrior against the Polish farmer warrior. Who wins?

 

Froch has enough power at 168lb to keep Collins keen.
Look who ´The Celtic Warrior´ fought at 168:
* Chris Eubank - at that point, totally gun-shy and spoiled his way to boring points victories
* Nigel Benn - at that point, shot from the McClellan war and didnt really have legit power at 168

(sidenote: Collins also defended the WBO belt vs Neville Brown who I actually sparred 2 rounds with, in 1999 in his gym at Derby!)

 

Froch. But It would be close

 

collins 9-3

 

I'd actually take Collins.

Froch was rangier and heavier handed, but I think that gets offset by the fact that Collins was craftier, had a better chin, was less easy to hit, and physically stronger.

Close fight, but I think Collins lands the cleaner, more telling shots and pulls it out.

 

Look at who he fought at 160...................McCallum, Reggie Johnson and Kalamby....

 

I think Collins has the style to beat Froch, he was hard, very active, and strong. He was a really crafty fighter, overlooked when people describe him as some sort of mauler.

 

Yeah, thats when he was in his prime.
Froch at 168lb is a tougher ask than a shot Benn and Eubank were....

 

He wasnt even that. He was just your archetypal thick Paddy.
