I would say that he is one of the top welterweights if you consider the top being top 8 or 10. Collazo is an awkward southpaw who I think would be competitive against any of the top WW's.
Do I think he can beat all the top WW's.... maybe not but he can win 4 rounds against any. Collazo has good handspeed, southpaw and is physically very strong.
Collazo's only real knock is that he lacks power. He throws crisp, snappy punches but it might not enough to keep some of the other big WW punchers off of him.
He's top ten. The Ring has him eighth. The WBA has him fifth. The IBF has him 7th. The WBO has him 10th. The WBC has Arturo Gatti at 12th so we could probably discount the WBC's rankings. I'd say he was one of the top Welters, certainly top ten, I don't think any of the top welters would beat him easily but it's another ****** poll where the answers are weighted to make Ricky Hatton look bad. And don't try and kid us that this isn't what this topic was about.
