I really don't like to say this when it comes to a persons opinion but i think you are wrong here tam..

whislt there is no odubt better names at 147 ricky is would be well out of his depth there...

pfp ricky is better than collazo, but the size and reatch of collazo was to much for him at 147, te likes of flod, shane,even oscar if he dropped down would be way to much for ricky to overcome..
not wanting to sound likea broken record but if he kept in shape ibetween fights he could easlily make lighweifght and would in no way look weight drained in doing so...

whislt many will slate ricky for not giving collazo a ematch, he was right in dropping down... he wa sway out of his doetch in weight terms because of hs out of ring life he wasn't mismatched, but in boxing terms he was well out of his weight range and that fight showed..

people underestimate the highet advantage rather than the 'weight range' imo
