The Collazo fight was a close decision no doubt, but it wasn't that controversial IMO. I am not arguing that Rick didn't think it was going to be easier than it was, as almost everyone else was expecting the same. Hatton may have made different choices had his performance been better but that doesn't prove anything. I can't believe that some expect him to admit that he found it too tough as the reason for moving back down. As he gets older it may be harder to make LW and so he may have to fight at Welter again.
Danno, suggesting that he got a boxing lesson is stretching it a little too far as that suggests it was all one sided, which cannot be said otherwise it wouldn't be generally acknowledged as a close decision.
