Team Hatton Gambled On The Weight

[Azteca]

No you cant.

Hatton got knocked out weighing 145 against Mayweather.

Hatton took Collazo's best shots weighing 160.

Its none disputable. Hattons chin was better when he weighed 160lb.

He also wasn't fighitng the p4p champ and best fighter since the fab 4.

Did he get a chin transplant when he moved up in weight?

I'm baffled.

[Azteca]

that makes no sense but OK. Hatton shouldn't even be coming in the ring at 160 any way. another post where you make excuses.

You are seriously bordering on incomprehensible.

What am I making an excuse for? You do realize that we are debating the effect of weight on a fighters ability to take a punch, right?[/QUOTE]

What makes his cranium better suited to take a punch?

Point moot.

Alot of things factor in.

He fought Luis Collazo and was wobbled the last round.

It was the fact that he was moving up in weight and fighting a sharp shooter who broke him down.

You do realize that the skull has to move inorder to transfer energy to the brain right? Only one thing prevents the skull from moving when you get hit. Your neck.
More weight, equals stronger neck, equals better ability to take a punch. You can continue to ignore this if you want, but its simple physics.

How does more weight = stronger neck?


You are so full of ****, buddy. Stop making these geeky statements.

I'm sure 10 lbs makes a massive difference.

Stooge.

You do realize that more weight = more muscle. If you cant see how 15lb of muscle would allow you to have more weight in your neck, then... well... I cant even think of anything to say to that.

Its just plain stupifying. It is ignorance of the principles that have allowed us to put men in orbit. To send men to the moon. To send probes to Mars.

If the world really operates according to Azteca's law, why don't they stop classifying fighters by weight and start classifying them by chin?

Because according to Azteca, a fighters chin is the universal constant of the universe. Like Einstein and the speed of light. Azteca's law states that a fighters chin shall not change irrespective of weight, musculature or strength of neck.

lol lol.

You are full of ****.

You do realize that alot of the weight that fighters put on is water weight, right? Conversely, they lose water weight most of the time to make weight.

Moving up in weight doesn't help your chin b/c you take punches from stronger punchers while you are suited to getting hit by weaker shots.

There is a difference between putting on weight after a weigh-in and the actual weight on fight night. A fighters weight on fight night is a much more accurate representation of the fighters true mass than his dehydrated weight at weigh-in.

You are not going to win this argument. Give up while people can still glance down and see you at the bottom of the hole. If you keep digging, you might just disappear out of sight.

It was not about the weight!
Floyd was better boxer and that's it.

Ya think?

The move up in weight sure helped Corrales later on in his career, didn't it?

Oh wait, I just discounted your theory (which I could do with about a thousand examples...but in the end, what does it matter?). I'm debating with a guy who doesn't even know who Bobby Czyz is.

I dont even know what Hatton came in by fight time. I dont even think the numbers were released or have been.

You, being the mumbling fool that you are, should continue to debate this. Speaks volumes about what you really know about the sport.

My final word:
Different circumstances yield different results. You pointing to a weight issue...shows how naive you are.

Nerdy overanalyzing wont do you any good, shawn.
