collazo wasnt a jouryman either he performed very well and as for ricky moving down im glad he did i cant wait to see castillo vs hatton well you cant expect roy jones to stay at heavy wasnt he natrual middleweight or super middleweight ?? he wanted to win a belt at hw just to add to his legacy then move back down but it turned out that was the worst move
