    Dont know anything about Collazo any fans out there? What are his chances of winning and did he really beat up Hatton? Dam I sure wish I had a link to one of his fights ;)...

    He beat hatton, even though, hatton was awarded a gift decision. Against Mosely, he supposedely hurt his hand, but, Mosley outboxed him. He is a live underdog. If he is healthy and prepared, he will give Berto a good fight. I like Berto, though, but, would not be surprised if collazo pulls off the upset.

    An in-shape Collazo with healthy hands can hang with the best at 147.

    He's superior to someone like Clottey. Much more capable.

    He gave Hatton a great fight, although I had Hatton winning by a point or two.

    Collazo lost to Mosley. Collazo is probably not a top 3 welterweight, maybe not a top 5, but probably a top 10...

    So hes probably similar to Zab Judah? Has some great skills but is not really a serious threat to elite fighters besides Hatton lol

    He's better technically skilled than Zab, but with less speed and power than Zab.

    He couldnt even hang with an old Shane. If Mosley was younger Collazo wouldnt have seen round 6.

    Margarito, and Cotto would put an ass whuppin on Collazo.

    Collazo broke his thumb during the mosley fight which was why he performed the way he did.

    Fair enough, but regardless Mosley's speed was a problem for him. And the current Mosley isnt as fast as Berto.

    I think Clottey-Collazo would be an even fight. Mainly because I think Clottey is overrated as hell.

    on the scale of 1 to 10. 1 = charlie zelnoff 10 = ray robinson callazo =4.5. I'd say a consistant B grade fighter
