At 140 it was another story.

The same formula should apply.
I believe fighting at 147 for Hatton is only a problem against natural welterweights. Floyd is not a natural welter, so I don't see how the fight being at 147 instead of 140 will matter. Collazo gave Hatton trouble because he's a big, natural welter, and Hatton's wear-down mauling style is not going to be as effective against naturally bigger men. That won't be a problem against Floyd. The weight class is not going to play any factor in the outcome of this fight, IMHO.
Exactly, all this crap about what weight it is going to be held at is another excuse for Floyd haters to gun him. He is probably going to weigh the same fight night that he would have weighed if it was at 140.
