Moving on, what of the other opponents out there, in or around Hatton's weight category? Miguel Cotto for example?

"I think he is a great fighter, but he's a welterweight. He has got to move up to Welterweight NOW."

And how does he think Ricky would fare against him at 147?

"Why would we take the fight at 147?" he asks incredulously.

At 140 then?

"At 140, Ricky would stop him. It wouldn't be early, but Ricky would stop him", he states adamantly.



"Why would we take the fight at 147?" This sounds to me like a Hell no we wont fight him at 147. I might be wrong but that is what is sounds like to me.

It's all about getting the advantage...this is why Chico made a big deal of fighting Castillo at that specific weight, even though everybody had to know that for Castillo to make weight he would have to chop one leg off. I hate this type of ****...you fight a HEALTHY fighter or don't fight at all.

its a smothering tactic , if it was mayweather beating zoo in the same fashion it wud be ok

First off, NO it wouldn't...Second, Mayweather would never do something like that because Floyd considers himself a "BOXER"
