Yes the better opponents seem to be at welter at the minute but tell me this:

If you are the best at your job and getting paid 'VERY WELL' for it, would you give it up and try a new job which is harder on you phsyically (due to your body shape) just because people say you have no balls if you dont
If somebody told me you will be remember as a BRITISH legend for staying at welter and my name would be rememberd as being the man who is fighting above his limit i would say yes and take it. hatton will be rememerd as the guy who stayed at light welter and didnt want to prove himself as the guy who wanted to fight at a higher weight class. or he could stay there and be the guy who fought at welter and is a chamion...............look at it like that!
i can see your point of view but after careers are finished not a lot of people look at it like that, i mean b4 bhop done his light heavy miracle no 1 was saying he would of been better if he had moved up a division,

any ways cant be bothered to elabourate on that, i think hattons career isnt on the decline or on the rise i think its stalled some wot, hes gonna stay dead middle til nxt year where i feel hel prove his worth, getting corrales n castillios scalps is a an achievement, i dont care if there coming up from light weight, i know hatton has been inactive and only had 1 fight at welter, but he only took that fight because juan lazcano pulled out, he never had any intention of staying there [unless floyd fight was sorted], things will happen for him [win or lose] hes only gonna get bigger [no not his belly, or chubby face] i mean his career.
