Saw an article saying Hatton wants Mayweather at a catch weight

[jack_the_rippuh]

To want to fight at a catchweight is cowardly.
Floyd never challenged any of the bigger guys he's faced to fight a catchweight.
He moved up to their weight and won the fight.

On top of that, Floyd is the naturally smaller man.

The only way that catchweight thing would make sense is if Floyd gets way more money.

Finally you make sense

its on the front page of b o x i n g t a l k, **** that, either move up to ****ing 147 or stay your ass at 140. None of this catch weight ****, move up like every other great champion or just stay where you are where youre comfortable. Mayweather made the move from 130 to 135 to 140 to 147 with ease. Hatton can move up ONE division...

ONE division.

Look haton is a *****. Reason why he doesnt want to move up in weight is because he will slow down. To fight PBF you have to be at top speed. Ricky just doesnt stand a chance. Honestly this fight doesn't intrest me. It wouldn't be entertaining WHY?! Because Ricky wouldn't give PBF a challenge. PBF will *** up haton's face LOL

Hatton is too small for WW, period end of story. A 5-6 WW with no reach can only beat short WW's, leading to fight screening and bitching from whiny internet boxing fans and media. I still think he should fight PBF, and if it has to be at 147 then so be it, but I'd like to see it at 140(Floyds best weight anyway) or a catchweight. This fight is bigger than weight classes.

Floydi s 5-8 with a lhuge reach advantage (72" vs hatton's 65"), you cant compare the two bodies and say Hatton should be able to do what floyd does just because floyd does, In all sports God designs some boundaries for athletes.

A slightly slower Hatton is an average boxer at best, floyd can run and still win fights at more weights.

So basically, lets let Hatton stay at a weight where he can be stronger than people as opposed to actually challenging himself to move up..ONE WEIGHT CLASS to take on top opposition. Floyd should not, and will not come down to 140 which would give Hatton the advantage in the first place.

Mayweather is taller than Hatton, and have a significant reach advantage.
That's one of the main reasons I firmly believe Mayweather will win this fight.
It's okay to be the smaller man if you got the footwork and speed advantage to get under the punches and attack the body, but I don't think Hatton will find that very easy against Floyd...

Yes to all the Floyd haters, I think he would run like a little *****, but I still think Hatton would look even more foolish in there.
If you have struggled in sparring with somebody tall with good reach, imagine the same guy with fast hands, fast feets and skills far superior to those of yours. Wouldn't be very cool to fight him, would it?

Seeing as Floyd isnt a brawler, or a big guy, I don't see why Hatton wont come in at a weight he is comfortable with. Its not like Floyd is going to rehydrate up to 165. At fight night they will both probably be the same weight.

[P4P50]

catchweight?...**** that he needs to move up to WW...floyd can lose a pound...

[MrFactor]

Floyd weighed 148 on fight night against DLH. Hatton weighed 153 on fight night against Castillo. They could easily fight at 147 for Mayweather's belts.

I'm ashamed that I have to state this again. But at no point did Hatton say:

"I will ONLY fight at catchweight".

So stop being such a bunch of ****ing idiots. He suggested that he'd move up to WW. He suggested that he'd fight at catchweight. It depends on what PBF wants to do I'd imagine.
