Fighting Collazo again would have been a good career move because:

1) it was a VERY close fight
2) he promised Collazo a rematch
3) it would justify what he was saying about not having enough time to train for the fight
4) it would give him the chance to silence the naysayers that thought Collazo won
5) he would have had leverage (a title) in the money division (Welterweight, more likely of a jumping point to PBF or Cotto than Light welter)
6) it was an oppotunity for him to show the WORLD (not just the UK, that he could dominate a slick boxer)
7) It would have drawn more fans than a fight with Urango.
It would have been a bigger payday than Urango

That being said, at this point I am hoping that he drops the IBF title and goes ahead with the Castillo bout (which is the best move he can make right now IMO)
