    Collazo is skinny as hell what are you talking about? And he didnt come down to that weight he always fought at welterweight. Stop making excuses for Hatton getting STARCHED by a guy with 10 KO's.. Oh and by the way Collazo got ROBBED in that fight.. Everyone that watched it knows he won.

    I can remeember betting on Floyd to beat Oscar by decision.
    and I also bet that it wouldn't go 12.
    My logic was the Mayweather by decision bet was safe, and if he lost it would be by K.O so my under 11 1/2 bet would pay.
    In other words I knew there was no way Mayweather would hurt De La Hoya, but Ialso knew he wouldn't need to hurt him to beat him.
    He did hurt De La Hoya on more than occasion in that fight, and that's what kept him honest.
    I think he'll hurt HAtton also, and keep him honest.
    HE may want to pressure, and stalk.
    But like the old saying goes "It aint no fun when the rabbit has the gun"

    Hatton has to worry about the Referee and Mayweather's three judges. If Hatton wins it will be incredible because is so appears that the fix it in. That fight is being fought on Mayweather's terms only, no way should have have fought Mayweather in Vegas, should have been in neutral territory-see way too many fixed fights in my life, just hope the fight in on the level-but will not expect such a miracle.

    Then you and the rest of the audience should realize that what you witnessed was a boxing match, not a street fight and in boxing you win according to the more number of rounds that you won, and Hatton won more rounds and if it were 6-6 as i scored it, it still would have been 114-113 in favor of Hatton cause of the 1st rd. KD.:deal

    Hatton always goes back to that Tszyu fight. :-(( He knew the big right hand was coming, it's the sharp counters he doesn't see that trouble him...Magee, Collazo etc....and Mayweather WILL be landing those from the opening bell.

    Ive seen it a million times, Im a Collazo fan, and i scored it 6-6 in favor of Hatton. Hatton clearly won 6 rounds and that night it was enough to get the nod.

    I think the word "Robbery" gets thrown around too loosely on this site. You might have thought he won, but in no way was it a robbery. A robbery would be something like Casamayor/ Santa Cruz, not Hatton/Collazo.

    Collazo is featherfisted.

    Mayweather carries more pop any day.

    Collazo isn't even a big Welterweight - even though listening to Hatton fans you'de think he was Paul Williams or margarito sized.

    Is Hatton such a bad fighter than all you need to do to embarrass him is stand right foot forward? That's what the Hatton huggers seem to imply.

    Im not a big fan of either mayweather or hatton but kmon lets be real....mayweather is totally going to dominate this fight. As much as most of you here hope for Hatton to finally shut up Floyd since this fite does present a great opportunity ..it simply aint gunna happen, hatton will not be the one to stop Mayweather im sorry...mite sound repetitve but floyds speed and defence will be too much...and i am predicting a rd 9 stoppage due to cuts and....sum mite even find this funny but i actually think Floyd mite be the one that will be coming forward after rd 3....Despite all this Hatton does have a punchers chance as noone is unbeatable

    It was by no means a robbery, and I prefer Hatton in the contest. People think that because Hatton faded late that he lost. That's not how it works. Hatton also scored an early knockdown, registering an extra point.

    Collazo has 13 knockouts.

    Also, explain how Hatton was starched... considering he actually won the fight.

    Thanks.

    Tszyu didn't land many rights in that fight, in fact the compustats for that fight showed he landed one of his lowest percentages of rights.

    Not only that, Hatton nearly pulled off his right arm in the first few rounds. If Hatton said they hurt then yes, a weak Tszyu punch would probably be close to a hard Mayweather punch.

    I remember Tszyu's best punch being a few left hooks off the jab that surprised Hatton, which as a few others have mentioned, will be Mayweather's best opportunities ... that being the fast surprise punches that Hatton doesn't see coming.

    Let's get to the fight already!
