I like both fighters they are both very exciting to watch and they are great for the sport....I think a fight between them only happens at 147....Cotto just can't make 140 anymore, also at 147 Hatton is an unknown due to the fact that Collazo is a tough guy only KO'd once before and that was by a legit welterweight with good pop.

Collazo needs to get in with more top teir welters and then we can judge him better.

As for Hatton's troubles with him....that can happen for any number of reasons, not to make excuses but here are a couple of reasons why Ricky might not have done so well:

1. Hatton may not be a true welterweight

2. Hatton fought the wrong fight

3. Hatton didn't fight in his normal style

4. Hatton didn't train hard enough

5. Hatton was injured in training

6. Hatton was sick

and it could go on forever....Ricky maybe just had an off night, Collazo maybe had a great night which if he did wasn't THAT impressive. Hatton won the fight fair and square in my opinion and it's a shame such a big deal was made over it that Ricky moved back down in weight, I think he had it in him to be a good welterweight and he should have stayed if for anything else just to chase Floyd Mayweather Jr.
No doubt. And as for Hatton having an off night, I'm not sure, I think that it could well be that Collazo is better than we all thing. I hope he fights Mosley.
