    Collazo's fought and won many times at LMW and your opinion of his attributes has nothing to do with fact and everything to do with your typically lame attempts to discredit Hatton.

    Whitaker is a defensive genius. Hatton is not. Therefore the size of opponent is less relevant to Whittaker's success.

    Duran is Duran.

    Hopkins came down in weight and stayed there for what, 15+ years? Hagler never went up, neither did Tszyu. Pryor was pretty much a career LWW too.

        Well said, you pretty much made all the points I would have made. Why punish a fighter for being disciplined, and smart, enough not too go out on a limb at the higher weights.

        As for Collazo. I think at that time he was second only to Margarito in terms of stature and his southpaw stance gives you another problem because if you stay on the outside of leading foot his jab can take your head-off, if, like Hatton, you have short arms. If you try to get on the inside he can catch you on the way in with right hooks.

        Fighting a taller southpaw can be a nightmare.

          .
          Mayweather fought and won at LMW. Does that make him "a big welterweight"? Shane fought alot at 154. Is he a big welterweight? Spinks and Ouma fought at MW. Winky just fought near LHW.


          Consider your position de-bunked.

          By "many times" for Collazo, do you mean TWO? Against opponents with a combined record of 8-42-1? That is funnier than if I tried to make it up.

            Shane is a guy who has struggled with taller southpaws. He handed Collazo his ass. Know why? COLLAZO IS JUST NOT THAT GOOD!!

            Collazo's jab can "take your head off"?? Hilarious.

              Collazo broke his left hand in the 2nd round.

                Nah, by "many times" I meant roughly half of his fights.

                It's taken you half the day to come back with that? You're out of your depth, stop wasting my time.

                    Luis Collazo is a real killer. He has that sterling record and that history of quality opposition. Let's not forget his frightening KO percentage.

                    There ya go. Happy? I built Collazo up for you.

                      I'm never happier than when I'm e-slapping tards. Thanks for asking.
