Collazo lost to Berto and Hatton but he really won those fights. He also gave Mosley a pretty good fight. All elite fighters here.

Considering Collazo beat Hatton, Berto, Ortiz and gave Mosley just about all he could handle (boring chess match type fight), I would say Collazo is ready for more elite opponents.

Its crazy how underrated Collazo is and it stems from the Berto and Hatton fights which goes down as loses for him. I dont think there is a better pure boxer out there except maybe PBF.

Collazo has serious skills thats been tried and tested against top level fighters over and over. Its about time this dude gets his due.

With all this being said, all that matters in boxing is the W/L columns. It doesnt matter who really won, all that matters is who won in the record books. So out of all of Collazo's top level fights (Hatton, Berto, Mosley, Ortiz) he only gets "credit" for one (Ortiz).

Also, if you notice, neither Hatton, Mosley or Berto fought Collazo again even tho he desreved a rematch in each of them.

Collazo is the craftiest of southpaws and no one likes going up against that.
Mosley won damn near every round against Collazo and shut him down.

Berto vs. Collazo was razor thin, but I begrudgingly felt Berto edged it.

Collazo schooled Hatton pretty well n def won.

Honestly, a Berto rematch could be a very good thing for Colllazo if no huge fights are immediately available.
