Luis Collazo (born April 22, 1981 in Brooklyn, New York) is a boxer in the welterweight division. His boxing record is 26-2 (12 KOs). He is a former WBA welterweight champion.
Collazo won the WBA Welterweight title on April 2, 2005 with a 12-round split decision victory over defending champion Jose Antonio Rivera. However, the WBA had elevated Cory Spinks to "Super Champion" status before he had lost his titles to Zab Judah, so Collazo was not the definite champion of that organization. On January 7, 2006, Judah lost a 12-round decision to Carlos Baldomir in New York. Baldomir had chosen to pay the sanctioning fee of the WBC only; as a result Judah's WBA and IBF belts were vacated. With Judah's loss, Collazo then attained recognition as the WBA's sole Welterweight champion. On May 13, 2006, he lost the title to Ricky Hatton in a close unanimous decision.
