Did Hatton or his camp even press for the fight to be at 140? I agree it would have been a better fight there, but only if it had happened a couple of years earlier. Hatton didn't look himself at all against Juan Lazcano going back down after the Floyd fight.. Could have been mostly shaking off the mental aspect of that loss, or a bad training camp as a result of that, or perhaps he actually had a lot of trouble making 140 himself at that point? We don't know, but the guy had been fighting at 140 I believe forever and didn't exactly take it easy on himself out of the ring, there's no reason to think he was that much more effective there over the last few years of his career. I think he was just generally a bit shopworn by then at either weight. He was awesome against guys like Vince Phillips and Ben Tackie, even in the Tszyu fight he wasn't as good as that imo.
