Collazo is underated

[2OSouzaSuarez12]

Yea, but its a problem with every single fighter that moves up. Mayweather had a problem with mitchell for example. Maybe not as big but he was still a problem. hatton struggled because he didnt judge the weight difference right. He was looking around collazo when he should have been looking through him. It doesnt really show off their weaknesses, it just shows what they need to improve on.

hatton needs to improve his face protection, and getting on the inside without getting hit. Those are the only reasons hatton lost rounds. if he protects his face and jumps inside while protecting his face with his left, and throwing with his right, hatton will quickly become unstoppable. hatton reviews tape like crazy, so him and his trainers WILL notice this and WILL improve on this. Expect him to be the underdog in his next fight because of this fight, and pull out a dramatic underdog win by Ko

great observation, Hatton only lost rounds cause he got hit. All he needs to improve on is not getting hit and he will be better. Great obsevations from a boxing guru.

kfootball- enough with your Hatton *** sukin already. Go to Hatton website if he is all you wanna talk about.

Get over is Souza, ur boy collazo lost fair and square. Stop suckin COLLAZOS ****, and just admit to his defeat. Any true fan knows when their fighter lost, so u definetly know that collazo lost. Enough with YOUR hatton hating and shovin everyone around. how bout u just leave all forumns altogether *******.

How about we make a deal.
u stop bad mouthing hatton, and ill stop praising him (even though he deserves it.) DEAL?

I just mentioned that too, that Ricky really needs to work on his defense, to block punches, move his head, and roll with the punch...he has a great chin, something that he should be lucky to have, but it isn't illegal to protect that chin once in a while

I also don't understand why he doesn't use more straight punches, or even move from side to side throwing those combos...the guy has great stamina, moving around the way that Acelino Freitas did against Chico, wouldn't be a bad thing; it is not like he has to keep doing this throughout the fight, just when needed.

... got hit while jumping on the inside. If u DIDNT notice this u dont know boxing. And YOU DONT KNOW BOXING souza. Collazo would have lost every single round, and would have been KOed for sure if Hatton protected his face. Not once did hatton put on the earmuffs and protect his face. but wait, what happened, he STILL won the fight. hahaha. WHen hatton learns to cover up, and jump on the inside with an arm up for protection, he could go toe to toe with the best of them.

I agree 100%. I think he moves his head great though. He dodged some pretty big punches, even after he got nailed with a huge left hand. He knows when and how to duck.

And yea, hatton is outstanding at taking punches, and almost immiatly recovering. He could turn this into an offense by letting his hands go every time someone lands an okay punch. They'll think hes hurt and go in for the kill, and since he isnt really hurt, he could land some nice combos

[Abe Attell]

my point was that he doesn't do it enough: it is one thing to do it once in "blue moon" , but to not have this as a normal reaction/part of your style is a fustrating to watch as a viewer...the guy is a dam top fighter, yet he still has amatuer flaws...imagine if he corrected this?

[GreatestIam]

and shutup here to. haha. wow u really know how to make people think u know what ur talking about by using words like "effectively" "intrigue" "bluepring" "exposed" and "discovered"

Just shutup. now we all know to never listen to u again.

Every single fighter in the world knew how to fight hatton. everyone of them. The problem is actually doing it. Collazo did a good job of keeping him at bay, but it was a Ricky Hatton that the world had never seen before.

A ricky Hatton whose punches were about 50% as effective as they were in any of his other fights.

A ricky Hatton that couldnt get inside using the right cross like he did against tszyu.

A Ricky Hatton that didnt contain the ferociousness and savage rage that the normal Hatton has.

A Ricky Hatton who through his best punch, the left hook to the body, maybe 50 times during the fight, and landed it maybe 25 times. A WEAK showing by Hatton, but he STILL WON.

And i garuntee that any true fan of the sport is willing to give hatton another chance. any fan of the sport says this was hattons first fight at 147, he did bad, he'll prove himself next time.

And im also willing to bet, that every boxing fan out there STILL wants a Hatton Mayweather fight.

And whoever said that Collazo was supposed to be an easy win for Hatton is an idiot. Hatton is known for only taking the fights that challenge him best. Hence him jumping up 7 pounds, and taking on a southpaw that was quick and effective on the outside.

Just shutup, GREATESTIAM, and get outta these forumns. nobody wants to hear it anymore

Haha im sure people rather listen to me then you... And for last nights fight being in all estimations Hattons biggest fight yet (moving to welter and fighting for a title) he didnt impress and its that simple, if he went out there and appealed to the AMERICAN public like say a Joe Calzaghe did.... Then this thread would be non-existent, but see thats not what happen and therefore, in my eyes and ALOT OF OTHERS Hatton is very beatable, and i know i wont personally waste my time being a fan of a OVERHYPED CHAMPION that I GUARENTEE WILL LOSE 1 of his next 3 fights, if they are against the TOP GUYS such as: Floyd, Antonio, or JLC!

jose luis castillo would move to 140 to fight hatton. Hatton is the best 140 fighter. better then castillo even. that would be a great fight. I definetly see hatton winning, but not by much. Hatton isnt a great welterweight yet, but he has already proven himself as a junior welterweight on NUMEROUS occastions.

If collazo moved DOWN to fight hatton, it would have been an utter domination by hatton. Hatton owns at junior welterweight.

And GREATEST I AM, u basically just said that u dont waste ur time with fighters that arent good. do i smell a front runner? u only root for the best? Hatton is an extremely exciting fighter to watch, even at welterweight. I love his style and determination.

At junior welterweight however, ud love to watch him because he dominates the division. He'd school a 140 castillo or carrales. And since ur a frontrunner, ud love watching at that weight

[Kball15]

and plus, as many potential fans as hatton didnt gain last night, he did gain a ton of new fans in the states. People love the aggressive style, especially the casual fan. Even if hatton had lost that fight, he would have gained a big fanbase in the states. Hes fun to watch, has an exciting and appealing style, and dominates a lower division. how much better could it get?

[mayweather]

hahaha omg so collazo is underrated. I think you guys are ****** and ricky hatton is overrated he boxes like ****. collazo sucks. rickys only a step above him
