Good point.

I also don't think for one minute Hatton would stay at 147. He would relinquish just like he did when he beat Collazo.

Hatton isn't a 147 fighter.....full stop.

The guy won a world title at the weight - he cant be that bad.

Sick and tired of endless pro and anti hatton fans claiming the 7pounds makes the world of difference.

Of course slight adjustments have to be made - but its 7pounds not 77!!

Hate to admit it but the reason ricky dominates at 140 yet struggles at 147 is because the 2 guys he fought at 147 are much better fighters than those in LW (barring tszyu)
7 pounds DOES make a world of difference. So you've never boxed I assume?

Plus most of the top welterweights are just way bigger than the top LWW.
Think of Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito. 7 pounds can mean the world.
