I really hate this term gate keeper. I think it's a bit silly.

Really we're talking about fighters who didn't realize their potential and are now in a rut or fighters who were once good maybe even great but are now to old to mix it with the elite in their devision.

i feel sorry for callazo. That guy's got a lot of talent and really deserves alot more than what he has.

Chi and Pacquiao should have fought years ago at super feather

Collazo in my opinion is a much much better fighter than a gatekeeper. Thats an insult to the guy sorry, he beat Berto for sure IMO. Definately top 5 welter no doubt man....

Collazo has talent for sure, but he hasn't won a welterweight fight since 2005, surely that disqualifies him from top 5. I really like the guy, he is a challenge for anyone and you could make arguments that he beat both Berto and Hatton. BUT he didn't get the nod this is boxing and at the end of the day if you don't have the backing of the big promoters you aren't going to ever get the nod on the top level, he doesn't have the power to take the decision out of the hands of the judges. Hence he is a gatekeeper. It would be nice to live in a world of fair judges and an overall less corrupt system, but this is where we are, that's the reality of professional boxing.

I would still have a hard time classifying him as a gatekeeper, but I might be nitpicking as to what the term actually means.
