Collins was beaten by eventual 1984 Olympic gold medalist Steve McCrory in the flyweight final of the US Olympic trials, before moving up to the bantamweight division.[2] As a three-time national bantamweight champion, Collins entered the 1988 Olympic trials as the favourite, but fell in the semi-finals to Kennedy McKinney, who also went on to win Olympic gold.[3]
