Comments Thread For: Oscar Collazo aims to show the world he is the face of Puerto Rican boxing

He needs good opponents to get some buzz going , it's sad but true that it's harder for the little guys. Collazo is really good and exciting too. It's that bullshlt "bigger is better" mentality that pervades the American psyche.

You really did your homework on this one Cuba, and I've got to give you credit on your analysis.
When I commented on Collazo's statement about wanting to show that he was the face of Puerto Rican boxing.
I couldn't do a deep dive into his career, because he hasn't had enough professional fights in order for me to do that.
I was commenting on Oscar's eagerness to obtain superstar status, and what he's been able to accomplish in his career so far.
Is he the next Naoya Inoue not likely, but he's going to give it a hell of a shot, I respect him for that, and I'm going to be rooting for 'El Pupilo'!
That said you gave one of the most compelling arguments for your opinion to date.
I remember thinking the same thing about the lighter weights, and female fighters.
I thought that they looked like two elementary schoolyard kids just throwing a lot of wild punches at each other.
Naoya Inoue, and Amanda Serrano changed my mind on that, after I saw their skill, power, and how successful they were thus far in their career's.

I probably enjoy and follow the lower weights including straw more than 95% of the guys on NSB, but no matter what a single division champion let alone strawweight is hard to make a name for yourself no matter what. My personal impression is that you seem to need to atleast get to superfly 115 , or flyweight 112 at the very least before you get any kind of regard.
