I agree it would be pointless and this is what is going to start to piss me off in the long run. Hatton isn't going to start to take risk and therefore he will just stay at 140 and make his fights a bore fest! COME ON RICKY GET BACK TO 147!!!!!!!!
RICKY HATTON IS A 140LB FIGHTER! Forget 147lb, he fought there once as a last resort to keep HBO happy. He didnt want to and doesnt want to fight at 147lb. Why cant people accept it?
Why isnt he a 147 fighter? Well his preference may be at 140 but all of his competion has gone to 147. right look at it like this, if Hatton safely beat Luiz and looked comfortbale are you telling me he would give his belt up to get back to 140 and fight people who are not so good as the people at 147? ill asnwer that for you! no he wouldnt go back down. But what im saying is at the end of the day he beat Luiz and became the champion etc. It was early days imo for Hatton and i feel he could have stayed at 147 over time and progressed into a stronger fighter and gained more experience to keep up with his competition. So in reply to your question why isnt hatton a 147 fighter?
