I take Hatton to be near his best and win a TKO10, but you never know for sure, this is after all boxing, there are very, very few gimmes at the top level of the sport

Some people might get mad but I'm goin with Collazo. Now don't think that I'm a hater because I'm not I just don't think hatton is as good as his fans think. If this kid collazo can take his punch he'll have a good chance in winning. I've seen collazo a couple of times and he ain't bad. I'm picking collazo cause I think hatton gonna have a harder time getting in than you think. This guy is a natural WW, his reach is 72 compared to hattons 65 and hes a southpaw. Those are the ingredients for trouble. If this kid has it mentally this could be a good fight. Collazo UD12
I saw an analyst on TV in Canada say almost the same thing... That Collazo could be a big spoiler with the reach and being a southpaw... Apparently Hatton has struggled with them in the past, plus there's the weight difference. But Collazo has been TKOEd before by a nobody, in 2002... I don't know anything about the fight it could mean a whole lot or absolutely nothing.. I guess we'll see what kind of punch the guy takes.. IF his chin holds up I pick Hatton but in a tough fight going the distance.. Maybe Collazo won't be able to take Ricky's punches though, I have no idea.
Yes he was tkoed earlier in his career by nobodies but so did Pac-man and we see how he turned out. Good luck to both and may the best man win.
Step up so I can put you down
