Collazo was simply an off night and a massive learning curve for ricky.
Mate if your saying a fighter coming down from lite mid to welter (ODLH fight) to fight a lite welter moving up to welter, even tho he has consistently through out his career shown to be a better fighter at lite welter (Hatton) ...& even admitting after the Collazo fight that with Collazo's shots he felt the extra weight difference .... then thats even more obsurd ...

& do you really believe Ricky fought Floyd in the belief he would walk through him & go for the legacy ? ..... personally I dont ....

No ... it was all about money & a shot in the dark re the legacy .... more hoping than believing...& yes he was soundly beaten, & maybe he still would be at 140,

I almost find it insults Hatton by claiming him to be the same fighter at 147 that he is at 140 because he isnt...

He is a shodow of the 140 fighter when fighting 147...
