Hatton can't make 140 very well these days IMO
I agree, I think his body just can't do it anymore. The older you get, the harder it gets to lose the weight, and lets face it, Hatton put his body through hell with how often he ballooned up in between fights.

And IMO, he did not look healthy at all, at the Pac weigh-in, he looked worse than usual.

And Forbes makes sense IMO. Hatton just got brutally KTFO, he's nearing, or is at the end of his career, he's made his money, so why would he put himself in with a big puncher. I think he wants a fight that he should be able to win, and do it in his hometown for his fans.

He has sparred with Forbes, so he knows what to expect with him, and he knows that it's highly unlikely that Forbes could knock him out. But, Forbes does have a chance at beating him IMO.

I don't necessarily like the fight, but I understand it.
