Not for nothing but I'm starting to lose more and more respect for Hatton with every passing excuse.

Thats bs!!..Ive been saying that for months..That is the true story..I dont even have to read it cos i bet it says i planned fighting lazcano!! Which he did..No excuse.. Lazcano injured his hand and something else i forget!! ..
You talk like he only just made that excuse up.. Its true..dont hate just because he had one hard fight..

He did mention that Lazcano hurt his hand and the fight was called but he made amillion and 1 excuses why he moved back down in weight.

If you read his book you will find out what really happened. To be honest he is telling the truth. He was training to fight Lazcano and lazcano pulled out injured. HBO wudnt accept any other junior-welterweight fighter, especially not his mandatories. So he had to look at Welterweight and the only champion available (who could fight on the date HBO set) was Collazo. Its that simple. He didnt want to lose the 13th may date because he had already been inactive for around 7 months so Collazo was really his only option. So basically he did only have 7 weeks to train for Welter. Simple as. Billy Graham didnt even want him to take the fight.
He's naturally a light welter and thats where his future should lie. I agree he should only move up to fight Mayweather or Cotto.

So reading Hatton's book will tell me the truth, right? Nothing but facts in it. No lies, huh? Damn, your stupid. IT'S HATTONS BOOK! OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO SAY THAT. He ain't going to say "I know I really lost to Collazo." "I'm scared to give him a rematch". He's going to make himself look good. And fools like you believe everything in it.

For the record VD the book was written before the Collazo fight. The is no reference to the fight in his book
