I agree to an extent in that he loses his physical prowess by moving up in weight but that's where the big fights are! Outside of Castillo,who else is there to fight at 140? At 147,he need not fight the wrescking machines like Margarito but he could rumble with Cotto,Mosley,guys of that ilk. I just don't see what Hatton is going to do at 140 after the Urango and Castillo fights. He bulit up momentum with KT fight,has let it slip until hopefully,the JLC fight (which I think he will win) when his momentum will be at an all time high but then what? Unify the titles at 140?
