    You're not saying that he sweat PAST the limit, for no reason, are you?
    You dont have to believe me just read the interviews by graham. They said he would be well below for weigh in and come in low 150's come fight time. PBF has shown that at WW and jrMW he does not sweat down. Fact's Mayweather-Judah, Mayweather weighted the same 146lbs come fight time. Mayweather only weighed 148lbs come fight time with DLH.

    I'm not saying they sweat him down for no reason I'm just saying it was intentional and part of some plan to keep Ricky quick due to his statements of feeling sluggish for the Collazo fight.

      I dunno. I think 'chin' is affected by overall body strength/size.
      Shots hurt them because they were both incredibly weight drained at 140 and 135. Coming in 15-20 lbs ahead of the limit.

          That's a pretty low bar. Their job was to outthink/outplan Roger and Leonard. Not Teca and Dios.

              Hatton got KO'd by someone you all said was feather-fisted.

              What do you think of Ricky's chin?

                  I never said he was feather fisted. Trust me, I know better.

                  I still think it's good.

                  He got beat by the best fighter of this generation. And the best fighter since the Fab 4.

                  No shame in that.

                    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.
                    it does not matter. why don't you just deal with Hatton getting KTFO instead of making lame excuses. Hatton loss to the best of his era.

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

                      I'm baffled.
                      Believe it or not, bigger stronger neck muscles, capable of immobilizing your skull actually help your brain no slosh around in your head. You know, by minimizing the amount that your head flops around.

                      By your logic, James Toney at 160lb would be able to take the same punches He took at Heavyweight. There is actually a reason why fighters with short stocky necks like Carlos Baldomir have an iron chin. Watch him fight. You can pound on his face and his head doesn't budge.

                      Same thing with Muhammad Ali, he went from having a pretty good chin when he was young, to having a chin that would make Jesus jealous when he filled out in weight.
