So was Ricky Hatton weight drain or is this an excuse by his beloved fans after they predicted an ko in favor of their man but it was the reversed?

Discuss.
I'm a huge Hatton fan. Never heard this excuse. He's a 140 fighter. If he aint fighting at 140, he should probably retire because he can't compete with the top dogs at 147. Never in a million years should he have taken the Manny fight. I didn't see him winning. He doesn't deal well with Southpaws, and fighters with speed kill him, because he doesn't defend himself well. He lost because he wasn't good enough. I still don't think any less of him as a fighter though.
