Graham: "No More Hatton at 147-Pounds"

[-----------]

Billy Graham, trainer of Ricky Hatton, says his fighter is going to move back down to the junior welterweight limit of 140-pounds, and regardless of the money involved, he does not want Hatton taking fights at welterweight (147). [details]

Lol, bet Oscar would chop off all his fingers so he could make 140 again.

Margarito needs to avenge his loss to Williams before he deserves to fight anybody. Yeah Hatton at 5'6" is not the biggest factor against him, it's his 20 inch arms. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone at lightweight or above with arms that short. Some good fights at 140, or with the 20 million he made in this fight, screw it, why not retire? He can tell his grandkids he won 3 world titles in 2 divisions and only lost once, to the best in the world.

all we heard during the build up to this fight from graham was how small mayweather was, small hands, small frame etc, remember floyd came up from super-feather for gods sake, rickys a big lad and came in at 145lbs, weight should not be an issue here

i agree , he cant mix it with the best of the welterweights , maybe malignaggi next in NYC , or witter back in the UK, and then of course ther is torres , how good is malignaggi and does he have a large following?

Making welterweight is not a problem for Hatton but his body just doesn't like to carry the extra weight. Mayweather's body has molded into a welterweight's body.

I can't see someone like Malignaggi packing feathers like he does ever doing enough to stop Ricky roughing him up and stopping him eventually, thats even with a finicky ref. If Malignaggi beat Hatton, I'd have that down as one of the greatest perfomances ever, Imagine!?

[bishop2006]

all the real boxing fans knew hatton was not a true welterweight and could not handle the weight. mayweather needs to fight a true welterweight challenger such as cotto williams margarito.

Just like Mayweathers not a true Welter,he moved up from Super Featherweight if u didnt know,Hatton walks around in between fights like a middleweight,Hatton is bigger then Floyd in weight,but smaller body wise

i dissagree, hatton physically looked his best ever and 5 lbs really shouldnt make a massive amount of difference, like i said rickys a big lad, floyd could still make light-welter easily and would possibly beat hatton more convincingly at that weight

[STEELHEAD]

i think hatton should take an easier big money fight( in england anyway) against his nemisis junior witter.
or if malignaggi has a belt still, that would be a decent one.

Hatton's body can look the best it ever has but 5 pounds can make a difference if your body is not used to performing with the extra pounds. I agree that Floyd would still beat Hatton at 140.
