    He didn't drag them up, they wanted to fight him so they moved up. Were you one of those guys who said Hatton had a chance? I suppose after the fight weight would be the easiest excuse.

        That is pretty true boxing is a job to Mayweather, if it is between winning or pleasing the fans Floyd will stink it out and win every time. I respect Maywether's view of the sport where most do not though, at the end of the day it is about winning and losing pleasing the fans is just a bonus and you will never please everybody.

        Manny is a lot different though he wants to please his fans and he takes taht kind of thing very serious.

        This is part of the reason why I think that Manny can not beat Floyd however.

          Floyd don't really give two ****s whether people are pleased or not, boxing is a selfish sport.

            But why fight Hatton at 147 when he was perfectly able to fight at 140? he used the weight advantage just like he did against Marquez.

            and if he is a true 147lb fighter, then how about he fights a competitor in that weight class.

            and Hatton took him 10 rounds with a ref on his shoulders, he had every chance, weight or no weight

              It's no use crying over spilt milk, they chose to fight him at that weight.
