Mayweather & Hatton: Will 147 Be A Factor?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Weight dont effect this fight in the terms of it being at 147 the attributes of both fighters at the weight is a different matter that is not weight related but skills and durabilty related ,,, would you be happier if the fight was at 140 ,,,, because either way they still step in the ring at 150 ,,, why do you think Hatton wanted the fight , because Floyd is not a true welter .

These guys are even going into the fight and both are fighting at there premium fighting weight , they both will step in being the same as they both were last fights which are regarded as their best performances .

I think Floyd will be 147-148 on fight night.

I think Ricky will be 154-156 on fight night.

yeah thats probably an accurate thing to say about fight night weights

but generally speaking ..weight is a pretty big ****ing factor

some boxers NEVER move up in weight at all

how could weight not be a factor .. if the fighters never bothered to move up?

granted im being vauge ... but think about it ...its true.

anyway weight is just another variable that the media will use to try to make Ricky seem like even more of an underdog .. don't go for the bait.

since Dios is correct (in the weight ins more or less).. Hatton might be giving up 2 inches in height .. but will weight more.

*being taller doesn't necessarily mean ur the bigger man

look at Corrales (rip) vs Clottey ... Joshua Clottey was giving up 2 inches in height .. but obviously frame wise was bigger .. of course that was slightly above Welter
