I thought about this fight before tonights fight even though I thought Collazo could easily win and I also think Shane could give Margarito hell next week. The only problem is that Collazo gave him such a tough fight tonight that you may would rather have an easy fight for the young guy next just to get things going again and then fight Mosley.
I hear some on here saying that he's lucky he didnt fight Mosley tonight because he wouldve killed Berto but I totally disagree with that. I like Shane so Im not going to take anything away from him but fans & media in boxing dont ever want to hear any excuses even though some of them are clearly legit. Shane may wouldve killed Collazo anyway but I could also see Collazo giving Shane hell if he wouldve had time to prepare for there fight and didnt get hurt during it. Its hard to beat a top guy on short notice and he did have surgery after the fight so you know he wasnt faking it.
As for Berto getting killed by Mosley, I dont think you can say that. Infact, I think the exact opposite. Ive always said that Berto matches up way better with Shane and even a guy like Cotto then he does with Collazo because I just think that Southpaw style and how slick Collazo is would give him fits. He wouldnt have to worry about that at all against Shane and it would just be a straight up fight. I said Berto's team was dumb for taking the Collazo fight and it showed but I also say that I would jump at a Mosley fight if I was Collazo's team. Besides, who else are you going to fight? The division is too good and too deep. You may could fight a guy like Quintana but he's too high risk/low reward, e****ally since he's Southpaw. I would have an easy fight and then go to Mosley
