****ing hell - can you read ? At no point have I stated Hatton is good . My point (which I’m repeating for thousandth time now) is Mayweathers resume is cherrypicked and full of asterisks , with Mayweather fighting Hatton at a below optimum weight. And Collazo was at best C+ level stop sugarcoating shite. oh wow he beat undefeated Berto?! Because Berto was a world beater right
Collazo has made no such impact at WW to come to that conclusion. He gave some good fighters a tough time, but otherwise, did nothing of note.
Is that how you think it works? How about you tell me why Collazo is better than anyone else Hatton beat at 140? What had Collazo accomplished for you to rate him so highly? But here's an easy one already.... Paulie Malignaggi. Here's another, Cool Vince Phillip. Heard of him? BOTH greater than Luis Collazo.
40 year old Vince Phillips? Nah. And Collazo performed much better against the elites than feather-fisted Malignaggi, who was pretty much dog walked whenever he tried to step up. You are deluding yourself if you think Paulie was a stiffer test than Collazo... and you and I both know that Ricky would've handled Paulie the same way at 147. Hatton fought a bunch of no-hopers at 140. At worst, Collazo at 140 would be his third toughest test after Pac and Tsyzu. Kostya quit, but Pac had stopped him in two rounds. Two rounds. Hatton looked like Hatton at 147, IMO. He just found another guy that gave him stylistic problems and was also physically stronger than he was. There were other guys like that around at 140 that Hatton never tried to fight.
Dude, all you are doing is poo-pooing Hatton's record. I asked what Collazo did to make himself so much better? The answer is nothing. Collazo was a WW gatekeeper for the most part. You can repeat all you want how Hatton at 147 was the same exact guy at 140, but no one of serious note would agree. Maybe a few idiots or trolls here might.
The poll " Is Floyd overrated " look at the results, almost 75% of the forum voted YES!!!!!!! Only the deluded Flo Mos voted no because they treat him as a God ROFL So the Flo mos call us 75% HATERS !!! Guess it figures by the deluded way they post
Irrelevant really. Hatton loses to both at either weight. And likely gets starched at 147 just as fast by Pac. This is about which weight Hatton was at his best. Again, that's 140 as evident by his record. If you need to continue thinking about which weight was his best, watch him at both. And if you still want to say how Collazo was better than anyone Hatton faced aside from Tszyu, actually discuss Collazo's record, not just bringing up Hattons.
Depends on context. Is he a hall of fame level fighter absolutely. Was he carefully matched, yes that is also true. In terms of best ever, yes clearly overrated.
