Hatton: "I Will Only Move Up For Mayweather"

[PATO 1]

I would agree that if Hatton is boxing PBF at welter, Hatton would be wise to box a couple of times at the weight to settle into the weight. Which is the norm isnt it? He dont want to make mistakes like in the Collazo match, by making the welterweight by eating takeaway grub etc

so we have 1 person saying they added 7lbs of muscle to his frame and another saying he ate his way up in case your forgetting the bout was changed with 4 weeks left and hatton would not have been on the light welter limit with 4 weeks to go

ironmiketyson said it best to me on msn they didnt eat or add anythin to his diet they just had to re programme his training

Hatton: "I will only move up for Mayweather and $30 million and it would have to take place in Manchester and Floyd has to have both hands tied behind his back."

Well, Hatton would have had plenty of time to prepare for his next fight if he had stayed at 147. Hatton's people knew no matter what he was going to get knocked out if he tried to stay at welter...

Hatton wouldn't have to bulk up for Floyd, he could still train and do things he do for 140. he never comes in at 140 anyways on fight night so it shouldn't matter.

I agree that Hatton shouldnt think too much about the weight. He should train and eat like he does when he makes 140lbs. When he tried to make 147, he changed how he did things, and tried to be too scientific or clever, or whatever and it effected how he performed against Collazo
But say he fights PBF at 147 and on the weigh in night Hatton weighs 139.99lbs. Would they allow Hatton to go ahead with the match with PBF at 147 if he comes in under the limit?
I am sure on the night of the match with pbf he would weigh closer to 150+ as he has said.

don't you mean one tough fight, which might not even be that tough. We don't even know if Castillo is that good when he isn't beating up on smaller fighters. And Urango is a clown.

Urango has a dream style match up on his hands. He's strong and tough. This won't be an easy fight for Hatton. Would you say Maussa was an easy fight for Hatton? Dominant? Perhaps, but not easy...he took alot of good shots.
Urango is stronger than Maussa.

And your man voluntarily took that beating vs. Castillo...

Castillo is a good fighter, I don't know why you won't admit that.

but he want come in at 139 becuas ehe want have to drain himself to make that weight, he would only have to drain a little bit to make 146 so it doesn't matter. He should have done the same thing when trying to fight Collazo and maybe he did and now he trying to make an excuse. casue when you think about their isn't much adjusting that needs to be done to lose lesser pounds. He naturally weighs more than 140 and 147 and on fight night he weighs more than thattoo,(he never had to bulk up) the guy is simply suspect and Collazo brought that to light.

what? Dude what are you talking about...

You'd rather take one punch from Collazo than from Floyd?

At 147 Floyd simply didn't show a lot of power. Someone pointed out Collazo has 'only' 13 KOs. 13 KOs in 29 fights is a better ratio than Floyd's 1 in 3 fights at 147. I know, I know, the competition level isn't proportionate, but the point I was making is that Mayweather is not a natural welter and Collazo is. Hence the one punch question...I realize that Floyd is much faster and quicker...

It's debatable whether or not he ever really hurt Zab. Did he wear him down, and in the process give him a beating? Yes. But I think Collazo would have finished the job. Big single punches were rocking Hatton, I don't think Floyd could do that with single shots.

Also, Floyd never really made Baldomir blink.

Basically Hatton vs Cotto never happens now then, that is whack! I REALLY hope he gets a PBF fight before he retires! His career will look dissapointing when we look back on it in years to come and see the fighters around at the same time as him that fights never happened with, ie Cotto PBF!

Ok I understand what your saying now, but I still would rather take one from collazo. As far as the zab thing, that Zab that night would have never been in trouble vs Collazo so he couldn't have finished the job. floyd very rarley unloads on a fighter especially on one like Zab who naturally will have you off balance due to his athleticism. Only time Floyd unloads is when you are in trouble. As far as Baldomier, not many have mae Baldomir blink, but I recall Floyd backing him off numerous times that night especially early on in the fight
