I disagree with this.
Hatton took heat for jumping back to 140 the first time because he fought one good fighter (Collazo) and then ran back to 140 without facing any big-name fighter at 147.
If he loses to Floyd, he can go back to 140 without any shame, because the guy he would've lost to at 147 is the #1 PFP fighter in the world. There'd be no shame in going back down, because it's taking guts for him to take this fight, a fight which he has very little chance of winning.
