I want to be clear on this, I am against catchweight fights. We have enough weight classes already.
I don't see why Hatton can't move up for this. Floyd isn't a natural welterweight anyways he's naturally probably smaller than Ricky, a couple inches taller but smaller frame.

He started out as a superfeatherweight two divisions below Ricky so there is no size advantage for Floyd in fighting at 147 lbs.

Actually though Floyd could make 140 lb again easily enough anyways. He walks around at 150 lb, he could probably just go for a long run in a sweat suit, dehydrate a little and make the 140 lb limit on a week's notice.

I see no advantage or disadvantage for either fighter at either weight to be honest.
