I would typically agree, but I read a quote from Hatton that 6 lbs to rehydrate is his optimum target. But that would put him at 146/147 and I'm sure Pacquiao won't go any lighter than that. That said, I don't think Hatton will risk the size disadvantage so I think he'll pack a little more. but not so much that he risks any weakening from the dehydration which affects his stamina. You got to look at Malignaggi inability to hit Hatton with anything to affect Hatton and you know that ain't going to be the case with Pacquiao. It's just too much strain on the body using extremes to make weight by going more than 10 lbs in the 140 weight class. Especially against Pacquiao.
These guys at this elevated level of competition know the risks and advantages they gain from it. If Hatton comes is 152 for sure Pacquiao is going to take him out in the late rounds.
