IF Collazo Wins.... then what???

[CrunchTime]

Lets not pretend that there is no chance of this happening. It could happen. I haven't seen much of Collazo but from what I hear and read, he seems to be underrated by many.

What if he wins? What does that make of Hatton? We obviously wouldn't want to see him against PBF or anything like that. Maybe that would give Margarito the opportunity to fight a big name in the division to generate enough hype to warrant a fight against PBF?

What about Collazo? Will we all want to see Collazo in the big mix if he pulls off the win?

This could change things a bit...

if collazo wins, hatton may as well pack it in & go back to UK!!! it will boost collazo but devastate ricky's US campaign!!

[CrunchTime]

You cant blame Floyd one bit for fighting Dela Hoya, he should fight him but hopefully we see Hatton in the mix with both of these guys.

Oscar is also the toughest fight for PBF right now!! way more versatile than margarito & hatton+cotto, baldomir,etc.

[Purist]

If Collazo wins then Hatton is saved from a beating at the hands of Mayweather. If Hatton wins, then he commits career suicide and gets destroyed by Mayweather IF Mayweather beats Delahoya.

[Violent Demise]

If Collazo wins, then Hatton is finished in America. With all the recent hype he's had. To lose his first fight in the US would be embarrassing. Rematch with Collazo or not. He would never fight in the US again. He'll stick to his home turf.

A very big IF.....but to be honest I just cannot picture Hatton blowing this...

Collazo might be tricky, but he is pretty inexperienced and hasnt faced anyone in Hattons league...Hatton will impress on the way to a stoppage win...

What if he wins?

If Collazo wins, Satan's gonna be looking in the classsifieds for a less frozen new pad.

I duno cuz he still has a marketable style .

Gatti was a repeated failure but they kept giving him exposure .

Hatton has a style the yanks wana see . Witter for example could keep winning but they dont want him . Hatton could lose wars but still be invited back .

Its doesnt matter anyway cuz im certain he'l win tonight

I wouldn't count Collazo out remember when Forrest signed his contract with HBO and then got koed by Mayorga, or when Juarez was on the way to a title shot with an undefeated record and ran into Humberto soto. Or the tune up Morales was supposed to have against Raheem. Or when most "experts" thought Trinidad would knock Wright out, and lets not forget the jeff lacy butt woopin, when most "experts" predicted a lacy knockout.

I thik Hatton will win as well but I have never seen Collazo, so Until the first round beggins im still unsure of what Collazo can do.

[sillent killer]

Anything could happen this is boxing(cuts,lucky punch,home decision) but I still going with Hatton to win 6rd TKO like most people here.

[The Whirlwind]

A lot of different things have been discussed in this thread so i'll start with the hot topic,

If Collazo wins he will retire from boxing because he will need a kidney transplant from the Hitmans body shots.
Ricky will go home, regroup and finally put Jnr Witter to the sword then come charging back across the Atlantic without wasting anytime.

PBF is not afraid of anyone, except perhaps his publicist , he is the silkiest boxer P4P in the world, shame he is a twat. He just wants the money, can't blame the guy, and I believe he will make ODLH look every bit as old as he is. I know ODLH will make a packet but he will get beat easily by the younger man.

Ricky Hatton is not afraid of anyone with the possible exception of his mum.
He is a breath of fresh air in the fight game. He is always entertaining, because he hits so hard but he gets hit as well with his pressing style and above all he is honest. Stop the press. He is honest. He knows PBF would be a real handful and it would very hard to catch up with him and hurt him without getting tied up and becoming ineffective. He clearly sees a better outcome for himself by getting more fights stateside before stepping up to that challenge. Even if he lost if he gave a good account of himself, and I think he would, there could be rematch or other possible big earners for him either side of the Atlantic.

EXACTLY!!! 99% of these people act like they would give Margarito a shot if they were in PBF's shoes. Well honestly, if 99% of these people we're actually in PBF's shoes, they'd be trying to fight De La Hoya too. If Tony land a lucky a** BS shot and PBF gets knocked out, who is the dumbass? PBF. Even though Tony only has a punchers chance, that's still a chance. PBF essentially threw away his undefeated record, his P4P rankings, a difference of $15 Million, all because he wanted to give Tony a shot. Well unfortunately people we live in the real world, not some F****** Rocky movie. S*** if Rocky had PBF's pedigree and record, he wouldn't have fought that Russian mother fucker.

LOL.. some f******* Rocky movie! Well put
