I've googled "Hatton Mayweather" just recently, and I got several sources complaining about Hatton demanding the fight happen at 140 according to Hatton's father???? Is that right? That is horseshit if true. Somebody please confirm. I've seen articles about it and blogs complaining about it. Apparently it was released on the 12th when I was wasted.
smart move by hatton!!! i've heard in the past floyd off handedly stating he would go down to 140.
Ellerbe says the fight will happen at 147, floyd is the champ, he would go down to 140 to fight hatton, he doesnt need him.
Also, this whole thing apparently isnt true,
If it was true, we know what it is.
Because ray hatton admitted the fight would only happen in the US, yet hobson offered mayweather the fight in the Uk, in effect knowing it would be rejected.
Ellerbe says the fight would happen at 147, so if they say they cant fight at 147, then again........we know what that means.
But again, squeal piggy says he has proof its untrue and that they will fight mayweather whatever the weight.
Hatton weighs about 170 pounds outside the ring, i dunno why he wants to fight at 140, i think moving to 147 would suit him and he wouldnt have to boil down to make 140, it makes sense for him, he has less weight to lose.
Mayweather was way out his comfort zone when fighting at light-middleweight so to make it sound like a big problem to fight at 140 is simply ridiculous.
Thats why I want the fight to happen at 140, the hatton fans wont make accuses after floyd beats him, does hatton really expect floyd to move down after he,s been fighting at 147 for awile know, hattons been the one calling out floyd so he should be the moving up in weight, all the big fights are at 147.
His last fight was two weight divisions above that. You're being ridiculous if you expect Mayweather to come down to fight him. Whether he can make it is irrelevant. Roy Jones made 175 after a heavyweight fight. Should he have? Hell no.
Besides, Hatton turned down a 140 fight with Mayweather this time two years ago, so save the excuses for the British fans who will use it to their advantage.
Yes it is two weight divisions removed but unlike a regular 154 pound fighter Mayweather walks around at 150. To think that he has to lose 10 pounds in six months is MORE than feasible. Furthermore Hatton probably will have to lose MORE weight for the fight anyways. I like Mayweather and I think his prime weight is 140 because he has more pop and more speed. He would crush Hatton either way imo so why give anybody an excuse to hate on the victory. Make it a tiny ring and let it be at Hatton's weight and I still guarantee Mayweather whoops him good.
Floyd came in at 148lbs against Oscar. You make it seem like 140 is an impossible task for Floyd.
its not an impossible task
but its HATTON who needs to come to FLoyd's wait
hatton shouldnt be the one callin the shots
he's been supposedly wantin to fight floyd so if he really wants to he needs to go to his weight class
just like hjow floyd moved up to fight oscar
hatton doesnt wanna fight
he's bein a bitch

They both know the fight will only happen at 147,
hatton weighs nearly 170 pounds outside the ring, so is it okay for mayweather to ask him to do the fight at 154? no its not
Same way its silly to ask mayweather to boil down to 140,
Mayweather moves down a weight class, hatton moves up a weight class,
Things are even.

Does it even matter? Mayweather can make 140 and then there will be no excuses.

Apparently its not true, i have the link too, Squeal Piggy says Ray Hatton came out and said he was miquoted and that they will do the fight anywhere, i think he post the link in this thread.
