This may well be the changing of the guard....
Mosley ain't what he used to be...but its not gonna matter.
Why not?
Because Shane even at this stage has worlds more talent than Collazo, who is a good fighter in his own right. I dunno if you have seen much of Collazo outside of his robbery loss to British Troll, but he had a very close fight with Jose Antonio Rivera, who is NOT in Mosley's class. Collazo's biggest wins were against Rivera, and washed up Miguel angel Gonzalez. Collazo will give Shane trouble, and he has a chance at pulling the upset, but I think the talent and speed differential will be just too much for him to overcome. I know the Vargas win wasn't too meaningful, but Shane is STILL an elite fighter.
I agree that Shane is an elite fighter but those spells at the top are not indefinate and Collazo is young and improving. This makes it a more competitive fight than had it been against Mosley in his 20's. As you admit, Collazo does have a chance. You just think its less chance than what I give him, and thats the fun of debating boxing.

, Hulk...a bit of boxing banter is always good!
