By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s) thinks Ricky Hatton is wasting his breath in trying to give tips to Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) to help come out victorious against Collazo on May 3rd. Collazo believes that the advice Hatton gives would only work for himself and not for Khan.
Hatton beat Collazo by a 12 round decision eight years ago in 2006 in a fight that many boxing fans saw as a robbery. They felt that Hatton, the more popular fighter than Collazo, was given a gift decision. It’s hard to take Hatton’s advice to Khan seriously given that Hatton really didn’t prove that he was a better fighter than Collazo. I mean, that’s like getting advice from one of Collazo’s victims in how to beat him.
