    well he got his reason for it.

    and he said alot of other young guys who you might not know too.

    Baldomir and Ndou are both very very experinced fighters maybe not the best or the quickest around but they are could be more experinced that Floyd or any other sparring guy you might find.

    probably money and relationship is another thing too.

    I heard in the 24/7 Hatton usally wieghts at 175 that is like SMW for a guy who is short is damn too big to go down to 147.

    So I think the size issues with Hatton is over because instead of coming down to 140 he comes down to 147 is easier and he could be 160 or so at night fight

      Hatton is a natural 170 lb'er fighting at 140

        I dont know if your up to date on his weight status, but Hatton is already at 148 as of a few days ago. He said he will be fighting at around 143-144.

          When i say "natural", i mean natural fighting weight. Hatton's natural fighting weight is 140.

            makes me wonder what weight will Mayweather will come in ( if he needs to come in lighter)? I'm sure he knows about Hatton wanting to come in lighter then the Welter limit.

              exactly...to me natural is when a person is eating healthy and keeping in shape...if that were Hatton between fights or is he wasn't boxing...I'd say his natural weight would be in the 140-150lb range while 140-145 is like his "in peak condition" weight

                I said he walks around 175 is what I heard at 24/7 countdown.

                and it not a smart Idea for him to fight at 143-144 because he need to use every single weight to tired down Mayweather by hold left hook to the body and pushing him toward the ropes

                  I dont think that losing the weight will take a toll on him. He's 1lb over, with almost 3 weeks before fight night. I could understand if he was struggling to get down in weight, and it was close to Dec 8th, but thats not the case. He will come in the ring in peak physical condition.

                    I would have imagined Mayweather is preparing for the possibility that Hatton might get close to him in which case Mayweather wants to be ready for Hatton's strength. Wise move if you ask me.

                      I could understand that to an extent, but the speed difference between Baldomir and Hatton are like night and day. Baldomir isnt as much as a pressure fighter as Hatton is. He doesnt try to fight on the inside as much as Hatton does. If u ask me, Clottey would've made a better sparring partner.
