Why are people saying Ricky looks dehydrated?

Ricky is the lineal champ at 140lbs, he should be comfortable at this weight..
each fight that happens a new alt is born...it's sickening!

To be honest, Hatton looked like Skeletor and Pacquiao looked better suited for that weight. Hattons skin was drawn tight over his cheeks and his ribs were covered with no muscle at all, he would get destroyed by body shots.

I give much respect to boyh guys... but I'm rooting for boxing history... If Pacquiao wins... It's going to mean a lot...being the first fighter in the history of boxing to win 4 lineals in 4 different divisions.

Hatton usually looks pretty lean at the weigh-ins. He did look slightly thinner today, but I think he'll be properly hydrated and ready to fight by tomorrow night.

Ricky does look dehydrated to make weight. However I will not be surprised to know, if he comes into the ring weighing at 150.

I was thinking of DLH when I saw him. Why do people think that losing weight and trying to match Pacquiao on speed is a good idea? I do think that Hatton will weigh much more than Pacman tomorrow but I thin his stamina will fail and he will get hurt in the mid rds (6-8)

I waited for the pictures to make a judgement...

Hatton does look a little bit dehydrated, but it isn't nearly as bad as some of the posts on this forum would have you believe. He looks like he had some trouble making weight, but got that taken care of in the sauna. Its sad that someone like Hatton chooses not to take care of himself between fights. It seems like it is beginning to catch up to him

As for Pacquiao, I'll agree with one of the posts above me. Pacquiao looks great at the weight, comfortable even. This should be a good fight, but if the dehydration gets to Hatton we may see a De La Hoya/Pac repeat

He looked better in the Paulie fight(weigh-in), but tonight he looked like he came from a POW camp.

HAHA, LMAO....sad but true...I kinda felt sorry for him. I want Pac to win or think he will win I should say as I actually like both guys as boxers but you would not know from my posts. Hatton just seem a little behind Pacquiao in the taking care of your body/pacing yourself to make weight category.
