I'm not Lawhoops, but I've seen Collazo fight twice. He's the type of fighter where your not overly impressed with his technique, but IMO his motor is always on and he's gonna be willing to trade with Hatton. I really do think that a lot of Hatton's style is based on wrestling guys and hitting on the inside. He's gonna have to eventually use his defense @ 147, because Hatton isn't big enough to pressure someone all night. Hatton's defense is not the greatest but his heart and determination will push him in this fight. I see a Hatton KO 10 or 11. The only way Collazo's winning this thing is on cuts, which could easily happen as well.
I've only seen him once, versus a very old Gonzalez, so that's not much to go on. Nothing about him jumped out at me though, but it was only one fight. I heard he had a tough fight with a Rivera, who's very mediocre.

I think Hatton will still be strong at 147, how many really big, strong welterweights are there? Margarito, Mosley if he comes back down, Clottey even though I don't think he's elite. Hatton was bigger and stronger at 140 than both Judah and PBF so I don't see any reason why that would change at 147. But I don't think his strength would be quite enough against PBF at either weight, but I still think he'll be a strong welter, especially compared to some of the other guys
