A few days ago Shawn Porter was mini Mike Tyson and now he's being backed against with Collazo? i can't believe 8 people picked Collazo, i'd love to see this poll before saturday.
Fighters get shat on as soon as they lose but when they are on top the same people want to ride with them. Porter lost to a top fighter, it's not the end of the world.
You guys could be very wrong.
Julio Diaz beat Porter, despite the ridiculous decision of a draw in that fight.
To beat Porter, all you have to do is neutralise his lunge inside.
Collazo is craftier than Julio Diaz. I would not be surprised if he contained Porter, not one bit.
Exactly. Are people pretending Julio Diaz was in his absolute prime when he gave Porter hell?
Porter isn't very good really. He's like an ineffective version of Ricky Hatton. Collazo is very good on the inside. Khan destroyed him because he was so much faster from the outside and completely nullified him inside.
I find it hard to believe if Khan could keep Collazo neutral, Porter would steam through with pressure. Collazo did not look like he was in great shape last time, I think he must be having drug/alcohol problems, his body didn't look too good. Porter is young and still very active, you can't just dismiss him now he has lost once

That's your opinion. I disagree. I think he is a world class fighter and one of the 5 or 6 best 147 pounders fighting today. He lost a close fight to Brook who is also a very good welterweight and part of the reason he lost was Brook was allowed to hold excessively. Collazo was never that good and he is washed up and ranked about #30. Porter might be a champion again but Collazo is finished.
Collazo is older but he's a better fighter than Porter, skill wise.
What is Porter's class exactly?

When you are such a poor fighter that Khan can beat the hell out of you then you will be a huge underdog against a world class top 5 to top 7 world rated welterweight like Porter. Porter wins by easy KO. Collazo is not even in Porter's class.

Collazo is more difficult opponent than Julio Diaz
I honestly believe Devon's style cudnt cop with Porter because he only throws 1 punch at a time and clinches, also there is no power behind his shots. Porter basically walked through him, same with Paulie
Diaz packs a bit of punch so he was able to keep Porter humble. Brook kept Porter humble with the stiff jab and right hand.
I dont see Collazo having Devon and Paulie problems
The first Diaz fight doesn't represent Porter's true level. He clearly beat him in the rematch (I thought he won the first fight as well). Like the first Brook vs Jones fight, sometimes you just have an off night.
Collazo is shot to pieces, even if he's got the style, there's no way at this stage of his career he would be competitive against Porter.
So Porter loses a close, competitive fight and people now think he'd struggle against Collazo? Amazing.

Basically a sold jab gives Porter nightmares
