    So do you think the talk of Collins vs Benn III is real or just a wind up for publicity? Maybe to get their kids some exposure.

    I don't see the point of it. They were great fights back in the day - the whole Collins/Benn/Eubanks series. I wouldn't want to see them go at it again at this stage though. Would you?

    These rumours surface again every few years. I think at one stage Collins was going to fight RJJ on a cruise ship out near Dubai or something at one stage :pac: .

    It's sad when a McGregor vs Mayweather fight is more legitimate that this. Two 50 year old guys going at it, seriously? And weren't there reports of Collins blacking out the last time he sparred? Shouldn't be sanctioned.

    Arse will fall out of this soon enough.

    Must be both broke.

    Hopefully this will go the way the supposed Roy Jones / Collins fight went.

    I don't think either are broke. Like so many other big sports stars they just miss the attention.

    Seriously, what's the origin of this story?

    Completely ridiculous. Is there precedent for a license being granted for this kind of ago bracket?

    For a very rare occasion on the forum I have nothing to say on this boxing thread.

    That may surprise some, may even please!

    In the words of Homer Simpson: Do'h!

    FFS, by the time this thread is closed I'll probably have more posts than anyone,. All them saying nothing.

    Who don't you have anything to say? Is it that the thread or the motion of the fight is ridiculous?

    Anyone see the video of Benn on the pads in the ring? If its recent, i doubt Collins is in half as good shape.
    Whole things a joke really.
