There are plenty of weaker fighters than Hatton who are up at Welter, because they train to box the Hatton camp seems to have been beleiving it's hype more and more and think that Hatton can get away with just Mauling every one he fights.

hatton actually had very fast hands once upon a time and was developing his boxing skills... what happened?

If you watch him fight you see breif glimpes of skilled boxing (less and less) the fact is that he can do it but his camp a negleting it and not developing it or keeping it sharp.
