Agreed. That would be a great fight. Lots of action.

I think that Hatton beats Gatti.
Baldomir & Collazo could be looked on as about the same thing...as far as lack of power & great workrate goes.
I'd be shocked if Baldo came out on top over everyone...stranger things.

Agreed. Rematch Collazo & give him his title back.
