I felt Ricky was exposed a little bit tonight. He's been built up by so many people to be the man who is goingt to beat the man at 140 and 147 that last night was a reality check. That was probably the first time Ricky has fought a slick boxer with fast hands and he looked vulnerable.

Credit to him for staying on his feet in the last round when I thought he was done but he really didn't look like a Mayweather beater to me.

Actually I've gone on record many times saying Hatton has little chance against Floyd anyway and I do think that Collazo will be proved in the future to be a very good fighter. He looked to me at times to be the white version of Zab Judah but with a better chin.

I still think Ricky could beat Castillo and Cotto, he has little chance against Floyd but then I already knew that anyways.
Not really true son,Hatton has ALWAYS had problems with southpaws,and Collazo was a natural 147 pounder too. The only thing that worries me was that Collazo's power had an affect on Ricky,he only has 12 kos but Ricky can grow into the division. Floyd is not tall,not a southpaw,and not a true 147 pounder and has yet to face 1 himself! If they were to fight later this year(hypothetically speaking),I'd put my money on...Fl oyd
