Collazo has always been a welter so we can only speculate but I thought his style was simply troubling for Ricky.
It depends really. I think the fighters you mention are different altogether. Floyd is P4P one of the best & Collazo never would fight at 140. Now we could take some guys Hatton fought or could have fought at 140 that mimicked those styles and we can talk.

Ricky Hatton fought Paulie Malinaggi at 140 already and it was an orthodox pressure fighter vs a slick southpaw & Ricky did pretty damn good. Ricky was up 99-91 on all 3 cards & stopped Paulie in 11. Versus Collazo Ricky was held at bay the entire fight and failed to impress at all.

This Senchenko guy Ricky is supposed to fight seems a bit weak having read what happened in the fight vs Paulie....so maybe Ricky can dominate, he certainly should.
