Both Hatton and Bradley have said that when they aren't training, they walk around 160lb+. I honestly don't see the problem with Hatton/Bradley fighting at 147, since fighting at a higher weight should be beneficial because they don't have to drain themselves. Both are good match-ups and the weight won't be a deciding factor. Pac doesn't even reach the 147lb limit anyway.Comment

No, not in styles. I realize their styles are very different.
But I have seen many posters on NSB complain about how Floyd beat Ricky at 147 and 147 was not Ricky's best weight.
Is 147 Tim Bradley's best weight? How many fights has he had at WW? Who has he beaten at WW, and how did Tim look?
Tim Bradley is undefeated, Ricky Hatton was undefeated.
Tim Bradley is p4p #9, Ricky Hatton was p4p #8.
Tim Bradley stopped Devon Alexander who kinda quit, Ricky Hatton stopped Kostya Tszyu who kinda quit.
Please explain to be how Tim Bradley is a more formidable opponent than Ricky Hatton was.
Tim Bradley is Ricky Hatton without punching power.
Tim Bradley beat the big bad Luis Abregu at 147. He didn't stop him, just won a UD. That's it.
If you ask me, Hatton getting a gift against Collazo at 147 was a better win than the Abregu win.
I've always said this fight should've been at 140.Comment

Bradley is overall a better boxer than Hatton. He just doesn't have the punching power.
And maybe Hatton's chin was a little better but that's it.Comment

Bradley might not as strong. Which I think it's debatable. But, Bradley is a more complete fighter than Hatton was. More versatile as well. Bradley could fight in different ways. And, he has proved as much in his fights. Hatton was really just one way.
H2H I would pick Bradley to beat Ricky too.
Hatton-Mayweather was a "better" fight in terms of timing. Both fighters were on a collision course and their was a demand for it.
However, Bradley-Pacquiao is a really good fight in sense of match ups. It will be competitive and it's a 50/50 fight IMO. The only reason there is a damper on this fight is the way Bradley secured the fight.
Still both fights are quality fights and quality names on each fighter's resume.Comment

I can see your point about 140. I won't take the time to research it though because we're talking about accomplishments at 147.Comment
