Oh don't cry because I countered your irrelevant insult about me wearing "woodstain" with an equally irrelevant jibe back at you.

I guess Fatton will be comfy at heavyweight right now.

He was a smallish lightwelter weight and even smaller welterweight. His strength won't be much of a factor at 147, making him a bit of an unfortunate infighter.

I definitely wouldn't say he was a small light welter. He almost looked drained at times at 140. Those cold sore outbreaks he used to get on weigh in days are a sure sign of his lowered immune system..possibly due to weight drain?

LOL@ this guy! The triumph of sugar over diabetes.

Can we have another 'yo moma' quip althugz?

Collazo beat hatton. Please post your scorecard because collazo winning 6 rounds would still be a hatton win due to the KD! Please don't tell me hatton won 5 rounds! LOL.

Collazo wasn't robbed. He lost a close fight. He should look no further than his bout against Jose Antonio Rivera, in which Collazo won the belt in the first place. How did he do it? On a split decision in an even closer fight than hatton! Hatton deserves props for a great fight, against a top fighter on american soil @ 147!

'Althugz' does what it says on the tin!

Hatton takes risks and ducks no one. Much props to his return and i hope he does not blow up between fights.

I'm so glad I have to waste such little time proving what a bellend you are when you do it so easily yourself..

Read my reply to Fenster..I said that I thought Hatton won the fight contrary to popular belief of the forum? :/ I only ever said he struggled.

True but he was never physical big at the weight come fight night. Case in point - Castillo who was a monster at135 was a lot bigger than Hatton come fight night. Hatton is not a physically awesome guy at 140 and looked deminutive against even Floyd Mayweather at 147.
If Hatton had of fought Katsidids, I doubt there'd of been much if anything between them.

Castillo was not bigger then Hatton on fight night. That is a crock. And Floyd Mayweather walks around within 5 pounds of his weigh in and he fights at that weight. Hatton looked gaunt at 147.
This notion that Hatton was the shrimp of the division is ridiculous.

Hatton struggled at 147 because he fought two fighters who were technically better, had faster hands and threw punches in combinations. If he'd have fought those same guys at 140 he would have encountered the same problems because he has basic defensive flaws that have been glossed over by fighting 35 or so spoon fed opponents. Warren kept him away from that kind of fighter because he knows what he's doing.

[Beanflicker]

I never understood how "140 being his best weight" was relevant at all in regards to the Floyd fight. Floyd had no problem making 140, it was Ricky who had to cut a ton of weight to get down there.

Seems it just made it easier for him to fight at 147.
