Have replied in a couple other threads about the matchup... But basically I feel, just like you say may be the case.. That Shane will be able to walk through alot of Collazos shots and outmuscle him. In turn, I think people expect to much of Collazo or rate him too highly based on the Hatton fight. Lets not forget noones denying Hatton wasn't effective at welterweight, yet he was still having no problem landing shots and even combinations on Collazo. Mosley is much faster and stronger than Ricky at welter, he can also take a great punch I see no way Collazo will hurt him. Luis has also said that he hasn't sparred with one natural welterweight in this fight, and he's not preparing for power. Big mistake considering Mosley is coming down from 154 where he has shown good power. I just don't feel Collazo is capable of performing much better then he did against Hatton,and even that wouldn't be enough because Mosley is a bigger, better welterweight. Collazo is a good counter puncher but he will fight to the pace set by the other man on the inside and I think Mosley will just be alot stronger than he can take. Do expect it to be competitive, but only for a time as Collazo will have to trade with him to win rounds and I just see him taking considerably more punishment.
