OK, I just saw Hatton/Collazo..

[mECHsLAVE]

Are you attempting to claim that Collazo is better then zab judah??

"Better" is an ambiguous term, which should hardly ever be used in boxing to compare fighters. I think I was pretty clear with what I said.

I think Hatton would've had an easier time with Judah. I think he'd stop Judah late in the fight. Stop trying to play word games. Is Maussa "better" than Hurtado or Urkal? Sometimes a fighter just has the style to matchup with another, like Maussa did with Harris.

Judah is not strong enough to take all that infighting and body punishment, and Hatton going to the head late in the fight, catching Judah on the ropes (esp with the stamina Judah showed in his last two fights) would stop him, IMHO. Collazo is a tough fighter, no matter how "off" Ricky looked carrying the extra weight. Collazo's just naturally bigger and with that comes a certain toughness, which allowed him to hang in there with an off Hatton that was still ****ing him pretty good, esp to the body.

Judah is a power puncher and hits much harder than collazo. He is much faster and has better defense. Zab could take the punishment that Collazo took from Hatton. Remember, Hatton didnt work the body like he normally does.
And lets not forget that Zab throws the best uppercuts in the business, e****ially to a fighter trying to get on the inside. If HAtton had toruble with Luis, he would have alot of trouble with zab IMO.

** Callazo is much bigger and stronger than anyone Zabby ever fought. Collazo KOs Zabby or makes him quit. Please, Zabby is $100 million talent governed by a 10 cent brain that the popcorn of Baldy managed to shortcircuit..

OK. So zab is the better boxer. Zab is faster. Zab is much more powerful. Zab has faced far better career oppopsition. and Zab is HUNGRY because this is his last shot.
Collazo is a good boxer, but not as good as zab. Collazo is fast but not as fast as Zab. Collazo has decent, but not overly impressive power. Collazo's chin is still a question mark, he was dropped in that right, rocked a few times and has been stopped early before.
Your saying that Collazo would beat Zab based on 1 preformance, and i think your totally wrong.
But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

Much stronger???
Collazo has 12ko's in 26 wins.

[Azteca]

collazo is 'stronger' because he has fought at 147 and 154 his entire career. zab is a former 140 lber moving up.

[Easy-E]

Zab has 7 fights at welter, hes established him self there and has more power then Collazo. Its pretty simple.

[Azteca]

you said stronger, dummy.

[JuicyJuice]

Collazo got KO'd by Jeff Lacy at the 1999 US championships at 156! Interesting fact.

[Smokin']

That's more info that Lacy has taken steroids on his huge weight gain.

He won the 1998 US championships at 165 though, and competed at the 1996 Olympic Trials at 165.
