Someone please explain why Hatton left 147 and went down in weight?

So you like wrestling? More than that synchronised swimming shit that the likes of Spinks and Floyd put on. There's a reason those guys wear pegs on their noses.

Basically, hattons enjoyable to watch and floyds not So you like wrestling?

Some people need to realise that Hatton isnt finished his career yet. He has said that he'll likely move back up again and he probably will. If he moves up and beats any top fighter at WW, all this crap about him 'running back down' to LWW will be entirely forgotten.

Please elaborate? cause eventhough he won, collazo kinda exposed the crap outa him, 147 isnt his place and should be happy he got away from there with a win..

Its not that complicated. Hatton is 5'6, and he is a pressure fighter. He has no chance in the Welterweight division with that syle and being so small. He could probably easily make Lightweight if he managed his weight between fights. Cotto moved up in weight because he physically ill from making weight. He looked dead at the weigh ins. Besides Hatton did actually move up and beat a titlist. That has to count for something, and dont give me that Collazo got robbed shit. Just because Hatton had a bad 12th round doesnt erase the 11 other rounds.

I agree, i think he felt the power at that weight and his heart wasnt in it!!! In other words he dropped his nuts!!! Zab or Cotto will kick his arse if he fights either one of them!!! So hattons dreaming if he thinks he can beat floyd!!! I know all the hatton nuthuggers wont be impressed but he dont impress me none!!! YES!!! Hatton is overrated and got beat by Collazo... lol Mayweather would win a tko on him!!! Good predictions there!!!

A P4P level fighter should be able to move up one weight class and be able to hang with the best fighters in the division. Hatton could barely handle a fringe contender...

Can someone explain to me how Cotto moved up to welterweight and completely dominated a slick southpaw in his debut, while Hatton had so much trouble with a similar fighter with no power? How does 7 pounds make no difference for Cotto (might have made him stronger, if anything) and make a world of difference to Hatton? I was thinking exactly the same thing, And cotto probably weighs less outside of ring then hatton, but was killing himself to make 140, couldnt do it anymore and had to move up, yet hatton claims he feels better dropping from 168+ pounds to 140, rather than from 168+ pounds to 147, Im not sure about that. :ugh:

TS, you are brighter than that. Naseem hamed has no problem making 180 but that doesn't mean he should fight there. Boxers have always got down to the lowest weight they can....not sure what to add if this doesn't make sense.... Naseem hamed stayed at the same weight his whole carrer if am not mistaken, he didnt jump up to 130, say i dont feel right at the weight and move back down. Im not saying hatton should fight at 160 or summin, but he can clearly make 147 with ease if he weighs 168+ outside the ring, so what hatton says doesnt make sense. Think about it, how can 7 pounds be the difference between hatton being a world class fighter or not, when other fighters have moved up 30-40 over the course of an entire carrer? Do you really think he is that much better at 140 than 147, Whats the difference between the hatton that fought urango and the hatton that fought collazo?

Because he sucks that's why. he got his ass handed to him by Collazo....lol

for that. Given his style and lack of ability,he cannot be in a bad fight. Hatton has heart but the Urango fight was pretty bad, especially the last few rounds, no way was that fight better than mayweather-Baldomir.

Basically, hattons enjoyable to watch and floyds not Now that is a true statement...which I can agree with. Even tho PBF would hit Hatton so hard and often the Queen would feel it. A Hatton fight is a much better fight than a Mayweather fight...simply because every fight I have seen of Hatton's he has been life and death with inferior,supposely...opponents. Urango and Collazo were mediorce opponents who had Ricky huggin'... Hatton gets by on heart,so he has my respect for becoming a champ with limited ability.And...he is fighting in the USA now,so more respect for that. Given his style and lack of ability,he cannot be in a bad fight.

It wouldn't have given him much of a psychological edge to say "I feel weaker at the new weight and I have less energy" would it?

Surely you realise that there is a logical antithesis to your argument. Yes Hatton balloons between fights, that may very likely be his natural non-fighting weight, when he pigs out all the time. Its most likely that when he retires, Hatton will turn into a fat fuck. However, when he is in training, when he is working hard, he's burning weight off. His natural weight when in training is obviously quite a good deal lighter. That doesnt mean that he's draining himself. yeah but in my opinion hatton is making too much out of a 7 pound difference from 140-147 when he weighs 168 plus outside the ring, it doesnt make sense, how can he tell us he feels so much more better at 140 than 147 when he can make 147 with ease? in terms of performance, how much difference is there between the hatton that fought collazo at 147 and the hatton that fought urango at 140? How can 7 pounds make such a big difference to guy who can make 147 easily? Weight is overrated, mayweather jumped from and 130-154 and still kicked ass, De La Hoya did the same, Roy jones jumped up several weights, these guys are moving up 30-40 pounds in weight and hatton is talking about how 7pounds is the difference between him being world class or not, it doesnt make sense. Especially when he said he felt more powerful at 147, then changed his story after the fight. :ugh:

Henry Armstrong won the World Welterweight title from Barney Ross. His next fight was against Lou Ambers for the World Lightweight title... Did Barney Ross "send Armstrong back to Lightweight"? No he did not. Why do we know this? Because Armstrong fought at Welterweight afterwards. Hatton's career is not yet over. He may well be going back up to Welterweight for his next fight after Castillo. He can make Jr Welter. He can make Welter. Who's to say he didn't drop down in weight for three fights before continuing campaigning at Welterweight?

Because he got outboxed and hurt by feather fisted Collazo,before the fight he was saying he feels stronger and faster at his new weight,after the fight he said he didnt want to move up in the first place,its amazing how a guy like Floyd can move up from featherweight to light middleweight,still stay undefeated,beat the top guys and gets pure hate,but Hatton cant even move up 1 weight against not even a top p4p opponent then move back down and struggle against other average opposition Different styles. If Floyd has a bulldozer style where he was going to get tanked in the face round after round to be able to land his own punches, he would not have found the transition so easy. Because he is a master ring technician he pot-shots, doesnt necessarily hurt the bigger people with shots as much as he does at his ideal weight, but wins by being a superior counter-puncher and having the feet and reflexes to be able to stay out of trouble himself. :ugh: Yeah, that makes sense, so lets work this out, hatton weighs up to 180 pounds outside the ring, yet he claims he feel better having to drain himself down to 140 pounds rather than fight at 147? That makes sense :ugh: Surely you realise that there is a logical antithesis to your argument.

That doesnt mean that he's draining himself. I thought boxing was about fighting the best. The best are not at 140. Name 5 major fights for Hatton at 140? Very few boxers, Mayweather included, currently consider boxing to be about fighting the best. Its about fighting for the most money, with the easiest possible fight. Thats what is spoiling boxing. Eventually though, you have to throw caution to the wind for a worthwhile purse or legacy fight. De La Hoya was worth the risk for Mayweather because he isnt the best opponent, but is worth the most to compensate for the danger of his power and extra weight. De La Hoya and Mayweather would both be worth the risk for Hatton because of the payday he'd get from fighting them and potential legacy building from a victory over them.

You have no idea what you are talking about so i`m not going to argue this point. Cause you do not have one.

What part is false and why? You are using body fat as an execuse for Hatton not fighting at 147.
