Hatton weigh in pic......

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

How many people do you know lose their unbeaten record and then fight in front of 56000 people in their next fight. Theres not another fighter in the world who would do that

When did the number of fans become the measuring stick for boxing accomplishment?

anyone who says lazcano is a bum or in the legue of a gomez type guy knows nothing about this sport, and is not even worth wasting any time on! cheers.

I siad he was'nt a bum fella

nothing to do with acomplishment its the fact he has put himself under so much pressure even though he has just come of a loss. If he gets beat tonight thats it and not only would he have been beaten but in front of all them fans on his own turf. Now thats pressure on his shoulders and regardless of what anyone says lazcano is deffo no bum

Dude. Today's version of Lazcano is NO BETTER than Gomez. Be real.

When is the last time Lazcano was relevant? JL hasn't won a meaningful fight in years.

You do remember that Lazcano is coming off a loss as well. Right?

Hatton didn't exactly pick a world-beater to fight in front of all those fans. His team picked a guy who they are pretty darn certain he could beat.

how can u say he looks in bad shape lol ...i dont think anyone realizes how hard it is 2 be that ripped and that PALE !...if you greased him up or gave him a tan he would look liek bruce lee

You can also look ripped by being severely underweight. hence heavyweights don't always look ripped. I'm not saying that Hatton is drained he just looks a bit skinny for my liking.

His condition vs Castillo impressed me, he was a bit like a martial artist in that fight and made Castillo look a lot worse than he actually was.

Hatton looks visually as if he is drained, IMO. What he does is not healthy and it will be only a matter of time before it takes a toll on his body. Hatton is ridiculous with that.

To me, the ideal weight for Hatton is around what he came in for Mayweather. Ricky can't fight at full welter because most of those guys are monsters. Cotto, Marg, Clottey, Cintron, Williams are all 160+ and much stronger than him. Floyd and Zab are the only WW's who are smaller than Ricky.

At 145-ish, Ricky is still cut and energetic, and he doesn't have to drain all the way down to 140. In this pic, he looks a bit emaciated.
