    His activity level against Hatton was fine. It was poor against Mosely but that's because he broke his hand in the 2nd round.
    THat's ridiculous. His activity level was good against Hatton because Hatton came forward the entire fight, almost stubbornly so. Collazo is a good slick counterpuncher, who will eat up your average come forward type. The only reason Ricky didn't take more punishment in that fight is because of his own activity. Stylistically Hatton was a very good opponent for Collazo to look good against, especially since it was his first fight at welter. I think Mosley even took that fight as a blueprint to do better against Collazo. If you hadn't noticed, Mosley was almost hesitant to come forward against Collazo, though it is in his style, he was far more of a counter puncher in that fight than he has been in most of his bouts. I don't think it really matters whether Collazo really did hurt his hand or not, Shane had him figured out by the mid rounds anyways. Berto is more of an accurate one punch type fighter than Hatton is, and he has a fairly big frame for a welter. Don't get me wrong I think Collazo would be a great test for Berto, but I think Andre takes this one handily as it get's to the later stages. He just would need to fight smart and pick his spots, which from everything I've seen he already does well.
    So surely that shows that if he had to fight Berto's fight, he would be able to adapt. If he can match Hatton's activity level, i'm sure he can match Berto's?

    And i think his hand injury was of importance in the Mosely fight. It was 1 round a piece when he broke his hand. At that point Mosely was struggling to cope with Collazo's straight right hand. It landed at will throughout the 2nd round. When he hurt it, he stopped throwing it.....which enabled Shane to take control of the fight. I can't imagine anybody hanging with Shane with a broken hand.

    Still if Berto was to beat him, i'd hold my hands up and admit you're right. Guess we'll just have to wait and see....if it happens.
