I jsut find that amazing. In this day and age, where guys turn down huge sums of $$$$ for one reason or another, Tony,win,lose or draw, is so old school,willing to fight anyone. And remember, there were idiots saying he was ducking Paul...

Cotto(not Cotto himself,but certainly Arum has mentioned EVERYONE bar Williams, even Clottey has been mentioned)

Collazo(who's team didn't turn up at the purse bid for the fight v Clottey and he said Clottey wasn't a big enough fight before taking an untelevised fight last week v a no-name)

Cintron(didn't defend v mandatory Clottey)

And a a few other fighters, have turned down/ducked these fighters. The more they fight, the more Tony deserves credit because, regardless of the outcomes of the fights,he's been willing to fight them when no-one else has.

Sorry dude fact check..

Collazo was supposed to fight Jorge Linares' brother nelson - 15-0 , Possibilty of undercard on hbo but nelson pulled out..

So he took whoever came along considering his hand just mended up and hed trained hard he wasnt going to let it be for nothing..

As for the clottey purse bid i dont know..

Imo no way collazo is scared of the guy.. His team may have skipped the purse bid.. They may not have..

I dont know where you heard it either but its more then likely from a source that favours tony or clottey..

But anyway .. Collazo is not the point..

Tony has Massive nuts..

But he also had trouble fighting clottey.. I bet he would whip him in the rematch.. Because i suspect it wasnt that clottey is as good as tony.. But tony wasnt prepared for him that night and clottey never proved himself on that level or publicly on that level so tony wasnt to know the guy was so tough..

Either way.. On one hand props thats two hard fights.. and clottey is that hard.. But on the other hand im taking away from props saying tony knew clottey was that tough and he didnt care cos i think that was a suprise..
