Should Hatton move to Lightweight Or Welterweight?

[hookoutofhell]

some ppl really dont think - i agree with rodders, hatton when he weighs in at 140 is absolutely shredded, he is pretty dehydrated and doesn't have that much fat on him. how the hell is he gonna make 135?!?! the only way hed make that weight is by chopping off a leg.

its not got anything to do with how much he gains between fights or how much he likes his big macs and guiness he simply can't get down to the 135 weight.

yes some fighters can go down in weight - look at juan diaz or enzo maccarinelli they could probably make the weight below them but hatton simply can't.

as for his options at jnr WW id love to see him take on bradley, it would be agreat fight bradley imo has all the tools to win. id like to see what sort of condition DLh and pacman come in as, if DLh comes in looking lean nd makes the weight easily then i reckon they might make catchweight fight at 145. a fight with pacman would be at hattons ideal weight which is 140, but pacman is a dangerous fighter and one would give hatton a very hard time.

im sure there are a few top lightweights but i dont think that there are many who can step up and still be effective.

I think Hatton should leave light welterweight and either move down to lightweight or up to welterweight, what do you think?

Possible lightweight opp.

Juan Manuel Marquez
Nate Campbell
Manny Pacquiao
Juan Guzman

Possible welterweight opp.

Margarito
Cotto
Berto
Cintron

There is a VERY slim chance Hatton could make lightweight...he'd be weight drained...

however if he stays at 140 I dont see anyone currently at 140 that can beat him...

at 147 (with the opponents you listed) i think he beats berto and cintron pretty easily but falls short to cotto and margarito.

I think in terms of legacy he should attempt to get a few of the lightweights to move up to 140 to fight him...then finish out his career at 147 with a few wins.

hed be an absolute monster at lightweight
but if he could go down id say he already would of
so no chance of that

i think he should stay where he is and maybe fight judah or bradley next.
