Why no one calling out Luis Collazo

[amagnin]

I don't mean to be harsh, but when you lost your last figh to a smaller guy, even if it is Hatton, it makes it difficult for you to call someone like Margarito out. Collazo deserves a rematch with Hatton, but Hatton is going to 140 so he probably won't get it.

I see your point that he is coming off of a loss. But his performance in the loss makes me intersted to see a Collazo-Margarito fight. Hatton comes forward and throws a lot of punches sort of like Margarito (not exactly). And Margarito seemed to be somewhat troubled by Santos who is also a southpaw. I just think it could be a good match of slick-boxer versus big puncher.

with all do respect y do u think hatton is going back down in weight? i ll answer this one for u: its cuz collazo showed him that the 147lb. division aint no joke and that the competition is way tougher. hatton knows hes jeoparodizing his career in the 147lb. welterweight division.

The loss wasn't 'bull****'. It was just a close fight.

Hatton says he didn't have much time to get his weight on for 147, and I believe him. He'll probably look better in his next fight vs a 147 guy. But Hatton should stay at 140, and there's no shame in that. Collazo is a good fighter, but since he is coming off of a loss that fight would mean less for Tony than if Tony beat someone like Rivera.

There are rumors of it in his camp.
There have been a few press releases that alluded to him moving back down to 140.

High risk, low reward........nobody really wants a piece of him he may become the next Winky but in the WW division......

Hatton says he didn't have much time to get his weight on for 147, .

hes a professional. gaining weight or losing weight is part of the job, so who cares if he supposedly didnt have enough time to gain wait. as far as im concerned those r excuses.

but since he is coming off of a loss that fight would mean less for Tony than if Tony beat someone like Rivera

good point.

I agree and actually wish more fighters would stay at their prime weight rather than jumping all around to make fights. I think it would help to sort out a lot of the confusion as to who are the "real champions." Mayweather and Hatton CAN both fight at 147, but imo SHOULD be fighting at 140.

The guy walks arround at like 180 between fights he doesn't need to gain any weight to get up to the 147 division.
