Give the guy a break and if he does move up and gets his a*** wooped I will bow down and say I was wrong and the doubters were right!!
There are two different things going on here. Hatton moving up to fight at 147 is one of them. Fighting Floyd is another. What I'm saying is that if Hatton fights Floyd at 147 and gets his a*** beat, it may have nothing in particular to do with the fact that the fight took place at 147.

In order to know how Hatton does at 147, really, he'd have to fight a few fights there, and then the judgment could be made. He didn't have a promising start with Collazo but give him a bye on that.

Your analysis takes the victory away from Floyd and instead gives the credit to the weight class. Subtle but absolutely disrespects Hatton's opponent. As if Floyd is a neutral factor in the mix of things.

He's definitely not ...
