Why isnt Hatton comftrable at WW?

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Why people use that as a excuse. I mean, if he comes at fight night like at 155-157, whats the difference him weighitning in at 145-147 and still come at 155-157 fight night? I dont see the difference. Matters of facts for the looks of it, he is draining himself to make 140.

So why is all of this BS, of Hatton not being a WW, or he is not the same? I think thats bull ****, he met 2 fighters better than him st WW thats all!!!!!!!!

[MANGLER]

In his 2 fights there he just didn't look as strong as he has in his best performances at 140. And Collazo and PBF are good boxers but they ain't the strongest WW's out there either.

He can't bully people around the ring as easily, added weight or not.

Being heavier doesn't equate to being stronger.

[Gorgeous George]

floyd mayweather is a far bigger man than hatton in every way! are you blind????????

[rizkybizness]

because he has minimal skill (if any) and relies ENTIRELY on bullying his opponent via illegal rough housing tactics to win fights. this just isnt possible at WW, which is why he sucks even more at WW.

this should sum things up.

Except not really because he bullied around Collazo. The times when Collazo was winning, he was outboxing him. Collazo lost the fight because Hatton was able to pound on him and punsh him to the ropes.

If he manages to get in range, he can still bully people around at Welter. It's just that he can't as easy because there is a better skill level.

and Collazo is a smallish welter himself.


What happens when Ricky faces someone bigger at welter?

Bullying is out the door.

Collazo is a normal sized welter. He's around the same size as Mosley and the likes. Cotto and Margarito are the only ones bigger then him and Hatton wouldn't beat Cotto even if he could bully him around. And Margarito isn't allowed to fight so...

I'd pick Hatton over the lower welters. He's a pretty good fighter, but just lacks the defense (and arguably the chin) to beat the top welters.

because hatton can't use his strength at WW. he doesnt have enough skill to move up in weight
