    I say Collazo is way too fast but the "in fighting" wold be intriguing to watch.

    Collazo UD:bbb

    Thoughts?

    Clottey. I'm a Collazo fan, but I think the difference in physical strength would really start to tell by about the eighth or ninth round. And there's no way in hell he beats Clottey by using the volume approach he did late against Berto. Clottey would counter the mess out of him.

    Very interesting fight. Collazo would win by throwing punches in bunches, but as Apollo said that would leave him open for counters. Clottey would probably knock him out from round onwards IMO, but if it goes to the cards Luis would get it. Clottey woulden't have to show him much respect (like he did against Cotto) due to his pretty light punching (compared to Cotto and Margo anyway).

    Collazo has pretty good power.
    I never thought about this fight....
    Very interesting. Collazo can box man. Clottey can too. The difference would obviously be in speed. The power i would say its probably the same.

    I wanna see this fight now.

    Great matchup! Collazo being a southpaw may be a factor. Don't underestimate Collazo, but I'd give Clottey a slight edge.

    Very good. I think physically strong guys with power really hold advantages over Clottey. Because he's not as eager to keep bringing it after he starts eating leather. But Collazo is fast has a very good chin and good stamina. But Clottey is pretty fast as well. I'd give Clottey the slight advantage and would think he would be too strong.

    Maybe im just putting to much confidence in Collazo, he looked good in there against Berto... he had good speed, good head movement and boxed well. Although I could see Clottey trying to walk him down letting Collazo get tired then putting on the mustard.:bbb

    He looked very good against Hatton and Berto. But physically they didn't hold the same advantages as Clottey would. I don't see why people don't talk about it but Berto is a small welter who had just packed on so much muscle as a kid due to his dads training.

    I'm not thinking that Collazo couldn't win just to me Clottey would be the favorite and my pick.

    Intriguing match up. No was Collazo hurts Clottey with anything, but i dont know if Clottey has the work rate.

    Clottey could walk Collazo down but does he have the power himself?

    I think a bout that goes to the cards, with a split descision verdict either way, and widely disparate scoring.

    If clottey loses he says Collazo hit nothing but gloves. If Collazo loses he says he pressed he fight and Clottey did nothing to take it

    I think Clottey's speed is really underrated, he's just as fast as Callazo. I would take Clottey by UD.

    If the CLottey that showed up against Cotto is Clottey we'll be seing from now is then he takes this fight fairly easily. Blocks everything Collazo throws and counter-punches him into oblivion. If Collazo doesn't throw anything that would make Clottey cover up all night then he's toast - and we all know Collazo doesn't throw anything that would scare Clottey.

    Wow alot of people are underrating Clottey speed cause he does have speed. Anyway in this fight i could see Clottey takes it. Collazo don't have a big pop to bother Clottey. Collazo 2 big fights he lose to Hatton a junior welterweight and Berto a prospect in which both were close ones. Clottey 2 big fights he lost twice to proven punchers and very good ones in Margarito and Cotto in which both were close fights as well.
