If Hatton Was Still at 147...

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

He's just not a welterweight. He can make 140 easily and is the stumpiest bastard to ever box

Wait. Let's not re-write history.

Hatton himself is the one who said he was having problems making 140 when he announced a move to 147. He gets punched in the twelth round by Luis Effin' Collazo, and all of a sudden, 140 ain't so hard to make no more.

If Hatton got rocked by asspaper-fisted LC, imagine what a barrage of Mosley, Cotto or Margarito punches would do.

perhaps...but he comes on like a hurricane in the later rounds, and if your defence is suspect and you constantly come forward, hes eventually going to connect with shots, and one thing that theres no doubt of is that Margarito hits hard. Im not sure if Hatton could stand up to those shots, although its kind of hard to judge with only one fight at Welterweight.

Margarito doesnt exactly fight perfect and is a pretty slow starter most the time, but he does have a ton of experience. but who really knows I guess.

Yeah but if hatton smothers him and hits him on the inside, he can win, margarito skills are cack, he is slow ,flat flooted, but he does have power, if hatton backs off him and gives him too much space, he could get hurt.

I tend to lean towards the more skilled fighter, and hatton is more skilled than Margarito, which doesnt say alot for either fighter.

outside top 10.. not to disrespect.. but 147 isnt the place for him.. collazo even hurt him, and kinda outboxed the hell outa him, I think that fight was a big sign for him to stay at 140. Not anything against hatton, but 147 is just jam packed with talent with natural welterweights.
