Why did Floyd fought Hatton at 147?

[Burner]

So what would Pac's be when he wants to fight drain fighters at 142/3?

Vampire division?

Suck the blood out of fighters like Cotto and Shane by 4-5 pounds.

Dont forget Roach wanted Margarito to come down to 142!!!!

LMAO

Correction: He looked sluggish in the WW division against Collazo because he weighed 158 pounds. Hatton's Team said it was a mistake trying to make Ricky a full blown WW like the rest of the WW that blow up in weight...so, they decided against this for Floyd and showed up at a healthy/working weight for Floyd at WW. Basically, what Hatton usually shows up at by fight-time for his JrWW fights. Of course, since he is still over 147 for his JrWW bouts, he had to still drain a bit then rehydrate but just not the amount he would have had it been at 140.

Seriously, Floyd weighs the same as Pac come fight-time...but good try.


For Floyd: Floyd was actually much better at 140 than he was at 147. From 130-140, he was overall better.

hatton was undefeated at the time at 140, and looked **** at 147


if you were in mayweather's shoes, would you want to fight that hatton at 140 or 147? be honest


and dont say 'good try' like you have made a point because you have not. mayweather is bigger than pacquiao, only a fool would say otherwise

Well, actually, I should make that CLEAR: It's FREDDIE ROACH and not Pac since I don't think Pac really cares where he fights and who he fights.

It's Roach who will get the advantages for him.

Although Pac goes along with it but he won't step on Roach's toes because Roach helped him get to where he is today. Good friendship.

Roach is just looking out for Pac so I do understand it.

And, I never said it wasn't smart because it is. Freddie is a smart guy.

Ah, missed the point again. Reread the entire post carefully. Not hard to figure out.

Oh, and will Hatton show up at 140 by fight-time?
And what would Floyd show up at?


And why was Hatton "not ready" for Floyd despite Floyd's calls?

the guy is small as **** compared to these guys, if they want a shot at p4p they have to come down. manny has earned the right to call the shots, these guys have not

[Puntoyhauf]

On that note thread closed.

Manny will weigh 148 or more vs. JMM @ 140.

Floyd will weigh 146-147 vs. JMM @ 144

so you are telling me that Floyd Jr is only gonna rehydrate 6-7 pounds if the fight is at 140?

I'm thinking around 152-154.

He beat Oscar at 147 right?

Oscar is bigger then Marg..,Cotto and Shane

[krazyx19]

Floyd was the lineal Welterweight and Hatton had a Welterweight belt. Made sense.

Hes never weighed anything more then 148 for WW fights.

Hell only be about 145-147 if its at 140.

then a fight with Manny Pacquaio will be a match in terms of weight. that's cool.
