Apparently Hatton is not a 147 pounder

[oldgringo]

Hatton relies a lot on his physical strength at 140, he loses that advantage at 147 which is why he doesn't do well there.

Exactly. I think that would be the case with any of the top guys at 147. They are all very strong, skilled guys for the most part. Clottey, Collazo, Cotto, Margarito, Berto and Mosley are all very physically strong fighters. I can't imagine the hit/clinch/maul tactic would work well against any of them. We already saw what the weakest of those names did to him.

Hatton will continue to do well at 140 though. He is smart to stay in a division better suited for him and I don't think it should be held against him at all.

Collazo was CLEARLY off balance. Ironically Hatton would of lost if not for that KD.

I don't think so.

Say Collazo stays on his feet but just stumbles back from the punch. Hatton still probably takes that round and ends up winning a razor thin MD.

I would have scored it a draw if not for the knockdown.

Hatton looked like a LMW against Malignaggi. Malignaggi actually looked like a true 140lbs.

Paulie was bigger then him you muppet.

You ****** ****. Clearly you have never boxed a day in your life if you think moving up weight classes doesn't affect you much. Sure Pac can do it but Pacs unique, Rickys still a good fighter at 147 but he's better at 140, what the **** is so hard to understand about that? Everyone can see it so Ricky isn't making excuses (Plus he's said he'll willing move upto 147 if the fights there)

Always makes me laugh when people say **** like 'Hatton would of lost if not for that KD' What aload of rubbish, Hatton would have beat Mayweather if he had landed with that big right in the 4th'

Taller yes, not bigger. Especially not after Hatton rehydrated upto LMW for fight night.

Muppet!

That is assuming the rest of the fight was scored correctly.

Hatton was hit throughout with the cleaner punches some people might have given the rounds against him based on that.

I mean, im not saying ricky is better at 147 than at 140,

But when pacquiao moves up from Minimumweight to 147 pounds, and hatton moves from 140-147, and says the weight makes a big difference in terms of why he didnt perform, you have to wonder a little.

the average size of a top 5 (on boxrec) at minimum weight is 5ft 2 1/2
the average size of a top 5 (on boxrec) at lightweight is 5ft 6 1/2
pacman is 5ft 6 with a 67 reach
so pacmans stature made him a beast a the lower weights ( like corrales was at 130 b4 he got drained)
but the average size at welterweight again courtesy of boxrec is 5 ft 7 1/2
and the only person at welterweight he has ever faced is oscar de la hoya (who started at 130 but was more natural at 154) so that holds as much weight has a water soaked paper bag
pac would get destroyed by any elite welterweight as would hatton but at 140 he can be at a comfort zone just as hatton is because he is head and shoulders above any1 else at the weight

LOL

Very....they amuse me...

I bet if Hatton got in a car wreck in front of one of them and was pinned under the wreckage, they could lift it right up off of him...

You know...like those stories about possessed mothers saving their children....
