He moved down again at 140 and won another 2 fights. So when he scheduled to fight Pac, he truly believed himself that he is the best 140 and his confidence was high than the Mayweather fight.
    The reason he fought PBF at WW, because Floyd is the smallest WW. The only fighter which Hatton has a weight advantage over at WW. The only reason Hatton doesn't do well at WW, is not because of WW but skills. He can't beat fighters bigger than him

      The idea that Hatton best weigh is not147 is true but not because of what a lot of you guys think. The reason Hatton would struggle at 147 is because of the size of some of the fighters there as well as the talent level that was currently at the weight. Callazo was bigger than Hatton and was a little slick. If he ran into somwone at 140lbs that had similar attributes he would have similar issues. Mayweather didnt present the size challenge that Luis did and thats why they were fine fighting him at 147lbs. Hatton's fight night weight is similar at both weights with the exception of the Callazo fight in witch he went up a couple more pounds than usual. That said Manny's KO was more impressive. The Mayweather KO was also impressive because he broke the man down before stopping him. Manny had the ability to finish Hatton with one nice shot witch speaks to his power. I don't get why this matters so much since it has nothing to do with who is a better fighter but whatever.

        Pacquiao is the better fighter while Floyd has the better skills. To be a better fighter is far more different than having a better skill set. There are so many attributes to be considered as a better fighter.
        Examples:

        mental toughness
        lion's heart
        aggresiveness
        beating common opponents better than the others
        beating the odds while mostly thought he will lose
        having great accomplishments that will put you in history
        attitude inside and outside the ring
        adored and loved by so many people more than he hated
        and so many other attributes while skill only comes next
        Somehow I dont think you believe that. A lion heart and no skill makes you a punching bag.

            How about with all the skills but no heart (like fighting a lightweight instead of legit welterweight). What's make you? A coward?
