    and to you, because Hatton came in at 145, he couldn't expose those vunerabilities? thats sounds like an excuse. Floys did a great job. he does what he always do. have trouble at the begining while adjusting to the style, then he figures out the style and executes. at any weight, i see the same result.

      Weight does matter but in this case it doesn't because Hatton probably outweighted PBF fight time anyway. That and the fact that PBF is probably the lightest WW (come fight time) in the sport today. Versus Judah, Mayweather weigh-in at 146lbs and fight night he was 146lbs. Versus, DLH he was 148lbs come fight time.

      Ricky weighs more (fight time) in his jrWW fights than PBF does for his fights at jrMW and thats the truth.

        Hatton was the one making excuses.

        You were the one completely missing the point.

            How would Ricky outweigh Mayweather if he weighed 145 (below the limit by two pounds) at the weigh in.

            You're not saying that he sweat PAST the limit, for no reason, are you?

              What Addison said clearly went WAY over your head. I will try to dumb it down for you.

              Hatton had a better chin coming into the ring weighing 160lb than coming in weighing 145lb. Hence, Hatton could take punches from the harder hitting Collazo at 160lb, but not the lighter hitting Mayweather at 145lb.

                What makes him have a better chin?

                Does he get a chin transplant, along with the added weight?

                I'm baffled.

                  It's concerning because at the LAST pre-fight weigh-in (three weeks ago?), Ricky was very light. And Kayes explained it away.

                  Remember that?

                  Is it possible that Leonard & Roger are smarter than Billy & Kerry?

                    I dont know what they were thinking.

                    THey probably had a ton of motives.

                    I'll put a thousand on the fact that Billy probably knows more about boxing then both of us combined. Agree?

                      Cotto seems to have a better chin at 147 than 140. Mosley said that he moved up b/c the shots were hurting more at 135.

                      I dunno. I think 'chin' is affected by overall body strength/size.
