Hatton fought Collazo at 147 two fights before taking on Mayweather. Knowing Fatton's beer burgers and blow diet you can hardly blame those extra 7lbs for his poor conditioning so quit the weak excuses.
Whats funny is that Hatton weighed in at 147 for his fight against Floyd, Floyd himself chose to come in light, weighing 145 the day before.
Ok so just humour me here: how would that weigh in have made a difference in Floyd favour?
Floyd generally weighs in at 147 and comes to the ring at 147-148 the night of the fight. So Floyd is about a 150lb guy.
Ricky Hatton weighed in generally at 140 and came to the ring 148-149. When he fought Pac at WW, he came into the ring at 152. So generally Hatton is about a 150lb guy as well.
So lets reasonably assume both guys are 150 on fight night. But the only difference is, both guys had to sweat out an extra 7lbs to make 140. Both guys have done it before numerous times, let's assume both guys would do it again without issue.
So at what point in that process of sweating out an extra 7lbs of water weight does Ricky Hatton suddenly gain these mystical powers that would have allowed him to beat Mayweather?

There's this insane logic that I've seen a few people use on this forums, Iaminut is the blaring example, where a guy's abilities is defined by what arbitrary weight he is contracted to weigh in at.
There's two ways weight can affect a fighter. 1) The fighter has to cut too much weight and becomes "weight drained", weakened to the point that it negatively impacts his performance and 2) the fighter is fighting at a weight class that is far beyond his natural class and is fighting guys much bigger than he is used to. We've seen it before: a guy is a big puncher at (let's say for example) 135, he moves to 147 and suddenly he is fighting much bigger guys who can withstand much more force, and all of a sudden he's not a big puncher any more, he can't keep the big guys off him, and he gets drained by fighting a much bigger man. That's it. That's the only two ways weight has anything to do with the outcome of a fight. Neither of those affected Hatton: he wasn't forced to weaken himself by cutting excessive weight and he wasn't forced to fight a guy that was a weight class bigger than him.
But certain people here seem to believe in magic numbers, that the arbitrary weight itself defines a fighters' ability. What can you say to it? It's just moronic.Gummon bro
