I wish Hatton & his camp would stop with all the excuses

the only reason he fights PBF again is for the money i think. Its clear he does not have the ability to box at the highest level.

Floyd has never boiled down. He's always stayed just above fighting weight, if not fighting weight or lower, and broke his natural size by wearing ankle and wrist weights in training to get from 135 to 140.

Right now, if he jumped on scales, he'd probably be around 150 and that's out of training. Before his camp for Hatton, he was 142-145.

exactly but Hatton & his camp need something to blame it on ,it was Hatton who said he would eat Floyd up if he fought him on the inside it was Hatton who assumed he was the bigger man ,either Ricky hugely underestimated Floyd Mayweather or his own credentials

I am becoming less & less of a fan of Hatton he is vertually refusing to fight Witter ,Malignaggi ,Torres although he cannot be recognised as the best 140 fighter untill he defeats these guys ,he does nothing but Hold since he moved upto Championship level & he has become a sell out IMO

Hatton walks about at 175 correct Floyd walks about at what 5 pound above 147 ,Floyd probably is a Welterweight now but Hatton is the bigger man naturally IMO ,i dont think Hattons weight issues were the reason he performed so awfully against Collazo & PBF They were simply to skillfull for him ,Collazo is no puncher Hatton said he himself weighed close to 154/160 in that fight

Ricky has been outskilled twice in the 147 weight division & if their were any slick fighters in the 140 lbs division he would get outslicked again ,Malignaggi is slick but he dont have a dig at all at least Collazo turns his weight into his shots

Ricky has been kept away from Slick Boxers & Southpaws all his career & that is why he was advised not to fight Collazo & it is why he is refusing to fight Witter , i said before the Hatton v PBF fight that the fight would depend on what the referee would allow wether Hatton wins & also that Hatton could potentially get exposed &i it could be quite embarrssing or he gives Floyd the fight of his life ,every permutation LOL cant lose really can i LOL

Shut the **** up you traitor

ricky is naturally bigger than floyd! the light welterweight version of hatton comes into the ring at 156 pounds! and he walks around at 175! when floyd fought de la hoya at jr middleweight he only weighed in at around 148 lbs! he wasnt even a legitimate jnr middleweight and only came into the ring 6 or 7 pounds heavier! dont tell me floyd is heavier or anyof that ****, the guy has been fighting and beating men much bigger than himself for his whole career, he has had most of his fights at super featherweight

They can make all the excuses in the world but it wouldnt change the outcome, He got KTFO period. He use all the illegal tactics against Tyszu and you would never hear that guy complain once, In the build up to the fight Team Hatton were saying Hatton was the bigger man and they took the fight because they knew Mayweather isnt a natural welterweight so they should STFU and move on.

Hatton will alway have problems with slicky boxers and southpaw, He was put on his ass by Eammon Magee (A southpaw) and had to fight his wayback up, Collazo gave him fits and he would never fight Witter.

I wish Hatton & his camp would stop with all the excuses
