Collazo was highly underrated as well so lets wait before the next fight to see if Hatton is back to his marauding best.
Hatton has every right to consider himself "the man to beat" at 140, but in no way, shape, or form is he "unbeatable."
Yes he beat Tszyu, but Tszyu was nearly 36 years old and had fought once in 2.5 years. There are other quality junior welterweights, and now talented lightweights like Jose Luis Castillo and Diego Corrales are being added to the mix. Corrales would enjoy a 5 inch height and reach advantage over Hatton and could give him all types of problems.
I think Corrales is tailor made for Hatton.. Diego come to fight inside, negating any reach advantage. and I don't think the Corrales chin can with stand that Hatton onslaught. Hatton can crack that whip and never takes his foot off the gas.. he would just overwhlem Diego at this stage.
