But what i see in collazo is more then that, so i keep my faith in him because i see talent and skill that has yet to be shown, the way he fights and all the early fights that alot of people wont have seen.. these are all things that never got noticed and to people who recognised him early enoug he was a prospect, some never knew him until he got to the rivera fight or even the hatton fight.. but he hasnt ever been treat as a prospect cause people just didnt know.. its always been there but he hasnt had all the air time and press of a guy just as good like berto.. So theres more there then his record can show or general boxing fans will know.. but he just needs the fights and to make up the lost time now and no one will know unless he proves it so.. i cant keep telling people i just haveto hope lou shows it, till then its just a matter of opinion.
I appreciate you supporting your boy... I was impressed with his hatton showing even though he lost and was hoping to see more of him, sometimes a loss especially a close one will propel a fighter into better opportunities because of the expectation he will shine in the future.. His management and promotional team dropped the ball IMO by not getting him a decent showcase follow up fight in a timely manner...

Luis gets a crack at a good but past his prime Mosely and can potentially put a good scalp on his resume and he loses again and falls further into obscurity..

Instead of Luis being a hot up and comer and fighting a gatekeeper to propel his rise, Collazo is the gatekeeper and test for a young star Andre Berto

IMO Luis is a solid fighter who falls short of the bigtime and is the victim of shitty management.. Another fighter who quite possibly could have the world at his feet is Devon Alexander but Don King is holding this kid back
