Collazo meanwhile is a much fleeter fighter than Vargas and will throw punches in bunches. Collazo is younger and I sense pretty hungry. He will want to make his impact and there is no way Mosley is going to last forever.
This may well be the changing of the guard....
CC Miles,I'm sticking my neck out and going with Luis too. Although he has only had half the time Shane has had to prepare for the fight,I just think people were overhyping Shane for his wins over Vargas,a shot Vargas. Luis fast hands,his versatility and movement will give Shane problems.
The only problem Colazo will have is his lack of power,which could cost him as Shane may realise he can walk through him! Still,I think Collazo,points.
THe thing is, while people may overrate MOsley for the Vargas wins, people are doing the same thing for Collazo and his fight with Hatton. Granted he showed some good skills and speed in that fight, but Hatton isn't a welterweight.. If people don't expect Mosley to be much stronger, faster, and able to take a much better shot than Hatton at welter.. I think they are in for a rude awakening. I also think your comment I bolded is dead on, and for that reason among others Mosley will take this.
Well,I think we find out tonight whether Luis is over rated or not,personally,I don't think he is,after having seen more of his fights,I'm actually pretty impressed. Hatton is not a WW
but Rivera was,a very strong WW and he beat the shat out of Collazo at the beginning of their fight but Collazo showed heart and came back strong. I disrefard the Vargas wins,when did Shane look good before that? I don't know man,I see where you are coming from,and you make valid points but I have a sneaky feeling Collazo will prove more than a handful for Shane.
Exactly. And Shane is a better, stronger welterweight who will be able to hit him with alot more, in my opinion. Its definetly possible for Mosley to be affected by moving back down to 147, but assming he handles it without problems Im confident picking him. He didnt look great before I will admit, but I think he looked much better against Vargas than he did in his couple tune ups after losing the rematch to Winky. He looks to have gotten some of his old speed and pop back, and was putting punches together alot better and pulling the trigger without hesitation against Vargas compared to say when he fought Jose Luis Cruz.. If you disregard Vargas you really have to disregard him too which is fine, but the point is Mosley looked alot better against Vargas than Cruz, who was a useless fighter as slow as molasses just like Vargas in the rematch, which Im not denying. Collazo is definetly a good opponent for him to prove that he has still got it, which I believe he does.
