I'm stunned by level of venom being spat towards Ricky over this.

Actually I'm not...

You haters like to think of yourselves as objective but the bile comes through in your posts loud and clear.

You'll spin it into what you want. One persons 'fury' igniting anothers...without any real regard for what's being said

The weight won't be an issue. It's only a minor incovenience for Floyd. It's not like he packs on the pounds or is afraid of a bit of road work is it?

Even if Floyd vetos 140lbs, the fight could still realistically happen at 147. Ricky weighs more on fight night than Floyd does (even at light middle). Both guys would still retain thier biggest physical weapons at 140 or 147.

Not 100% sure what Rays motivation is for saying this but I suspect it's to do with the fact that Ricky Hatton is still the draw here...people forget that. Why shouldn't Team Hatton dictate the terms?
