What does Collazo have that PBF doesn't really

[SkillspayBills]

It was the same for "The World Awaits". And people didn't get tired of that either. In fact, they created threads about that fight two months after the fight was over.

Somehow, love him or hate him, Mayweather has put himself in the situation of being far and away the most talked-about and most watched fighter of 2007.

So true and that is what sells tickets, like they say "there is no such thing as bad publicity." I hope that this fight isn't a massacare, I think pbf needs the sort of challenge that will have him truly bring out his a-game. Ali had frazier and leonard had duran, sometimes you don't get as much credit as you deserve because people don't see you pushed to your limit, since he usually outclasses his opponents.

I agreed with your post up to her.
Get serious, Maussa ****ing sucks.

So does Baldomir but he still beat the champ to get his belts. Maussa knocked Harris out, making him a legit titleholder. Hatton beat the man at 140 and KOd Maussa on his way towards unifying the division.

I never knew that the commentators were the best authority on the match they are commentating on. .

Generally speaking - and you'll forgive me for this - I will take Emanuel Steward's assessment of a fighter's capabilities a bit more seriously than Squeal's assessment.

Call me crazy.

Unless his opinion doesn't concur with yours right?

It's funny because Witter's belt is constantly brought up by Hatton's detractors as "proof" that Hatton is ducking Witter. The belts carry a meaning. Without the belts it isn't a title fight. Do you think that Mayweather would have fought Baldomir if there wasn't a couple of straps on the line?

Squeal,

I like you. But for that comparison, I would like to go back in time and ravage all of your ancestors.

Did you just compare Witter's 140 belt to Baldomir's belt?? Not all belts are created equal.

Let me tell you about Baldomir's belt:

Delahoya => Shane => Forrest => Mayorga => Spinks => Judah => BALDOMIR => Mayweather.

THAT BELT THAT BALDOMIR HAD WAS AS REAL AS IT GETS. That was the legitimate and linear welterweight title. That lineage was considered the REAL (and Ring Magazine) welterweight champion. That is why Margarito was never "the champion".

I would love for you to tell me about the pedigree of Witter's belt.

We can both disagree with Steward or Foreman or RJJ as the 'expert analyst". But will you give weight/consideration to his opinion? Of course.

In this instance, I agreed with Steward because I was concerned from the previous fight where Castillo looked suspect vs. Ndougojougodojugo or whatever his name was.

The only thing that Collazo has over Floyd:



Tattoos

I swear when Collazo fights more often then not I find myself hypnotised by the face on his back. I can't look away, it is just freaking looking. I do think it is cool that the guy stuck with a theme for his tats, most people don't.

Perhaps Baldomir's belt was a bad example. How about Judah's IBF belt? Or Gatti's WBC effort?

Great thread. I like the 1st post and not only it. But if to answer, Floyd doesn't have heart, activity and stance of Luis.

activity and stance i will give you that but heart compared to collazo could be equal or higher it hasn't been test cause he been able to make fights go his way. If Mayweather ever did get dominated in a fight it would be interesting to see how he would act, probably would just stay away and complain about the judges
