thing is once a fighter moves up you really think he wants to go back down? especially when he actually finds it comfortable in his new weight, makes more money and increases his fan base due to the opposition he'll be in line to face? hell no man, Ricky opened HIS mouth, HE disrespected Mayweather by his own choice of words and made it so that HE has to rise to the challenge. you can't open your mouth and not expect a fight but that doesn't necessarily means Floyd should go back to 140, to me it's more if Ricky wants Floyd he should move to his terrain.
if anything going up to 147 helped him because at least his titles weren't on the line, he walked away defeated but still the TOP player at 140 much like Kelly Pavlik. at 140 not only would have Mayweather beaten him worse but he would have lost his titles and made Floyd a champion in 2 weight classes at 1 time further adding more greatness to his legacy. 147 was fine it's just he couldn't do to Floyd and Collazo what he did to these other guys, styles makes fights and it's hard to look good against solid Boxer's with power when you are Ricky Hatton.
