Collazo is the sleeper of the welterweight division
All of you are talking about Spence and Crawford.
Let me tell you all that the man many dont want to fight is Luis Collazo.
I think this is a very dangerous underrated fighter.
Thoughts?

He is excellent as a gatekeeper but not very relevant to the top guys
Why the hell would they want to fight him? They'd get no credit for beating him and it would sell awfully.

Khan took him apart, and I see him as a gatekeeper at best too.

Re: Collazo is the sleeper of the welterweight division
His next fight vs Kudratillo is the exact place where he's interesting and relevant...testing an unbeaten guy.
Re: Collazo is the sleeper of the welterweight division

He is in love with Sammy Vasquez. Collozo beat him so he's legend, I remember him telling me that Sammy would smash Errol. On the plus side it's good to see a super fan of a regular fighter. Luis was a bit underrated in his day, long ago.

Super fans of regular fighters are fine. Delusional ones I can do without.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑30 Sep 2019, 17:36He is in love with Sammy Vasquez.

Re: Collazo is the sleeper of the welterweight division
Collazo is a solid operator and is still capable of beating a fair few fringe contenders.
But to mention him in the same paragraph as Spence and Crawford is giving him far too much credit.

He is 38 years old. Once he was, but not anymore.

Re: Collazo is the sleeper of the welterweight division
At this point Collazo is just a guy that used to be a name for the other guys in the division to potentially fight if they need a tune up or whatever.
Like Thurman used him for instance.
He's a good fighter. His best days are certainly behind him. He did seem to get sold a little short in his heyday, and has maintained a solid level of skill as he's aged, but he's really never been much better than a lower Top 10 contender on his best day. I doubt he's Top 20 anymore.
Maybe match him with Josesito and find out.

You call being hurt by a body shot, losing that round, but winning every other "barely making it out alive"?

Collazo hits so hard to the body he LITERALLY MAY KILL YOU
Re: Collazo is the sleeper of the welterweight division
No joke. Jewboy has it on good authority that after that fight Thurman told his Lawyer. "I need to write up my will"
Feels like insult to call somebody jewboy, but that's the guys screenname

You are correct. Collazo is a sleeper. That's how boring he is.

You're serious? Wow. What does that make Khan then, since he beat the piss out of Collazo? Maybe he is a super duper top secret sleeper?
