This is how Hatton should look when he fights Tszyu.
In this type of conditioning.
All of that muscle mass, is a waste of space on his body.
It will do nothing but slow him down.

haha.Originally posted by aand> All of that muscle mass, is a waste of space on his body.
What he has right now is not a muscle mass, you are not geting it from fish and chips kind of training.
I was talking more about:

how he looks here. More lean mass on his shoulders.
it is obvious, that he is blown up right now.

It is so funny to hear Hattons fans act like it is nothing by saying " He'll lose the weight." Ofcourse he will, there is alot of money on the line. Bt in this sport you HAVE to stay in shape, even when not training for a fight. The weight can come off, but the body will take time to adjust. I actually was kind of leaning towards Hatton in an upset at first because of his strong fighting on the inside, but I have changed my mind totally on this one. Kostya Tszyu stops a fatigued Ricky Hatton by late round stoppage.Comment

No, that's not what's being said. People aren't saying it's not important and potentially harmful, people who know Hatton are just pointing out that this is what he always does, so it's no more detrimental to this fight than any other he takes.Originally posted by Boxhead2012It is so funny to hear Hattons fans act like it is nothing by saying " He'll lose the weight."

OK, I will chime in.
Hatton probably has a natural weight of about 160 which is pretty big for a guy that is about 5'6 or so. When he is not watching his weight, he probably gets up to about 170 and his face gets a little puffier. As the fights get closer, he probably loses about 2 pounds per week until he gets to about 155 or so. The couple of days before the fight, he dehydrates himself to about 140 or a little lower and then drinks about two gallons of water the day of the weigh in to get back up to the 155 or so that he fights at.
This is no different from other fighters, it is just the Tszyu's body was smaller because the camera was farther away (or further).
Also, it looked like Tszyu's face was in high def, but Hatton's was stretched. Tszyu definately had better posture and was not slouching as much.
All these make the discrepency much more pronounced than it really was.
Despite this, I still pick Tszyu. Way to go out on a limb to pich the heavy favorite.Comment

Excellent post. Im pretty sure camera angles did play a part in asessing their "weight".
Tszyu looked broadcasted in a studio next door,
Hatton by a "handicam".
