I feel you miss my point, Its the intention for Hatton not to carry the extra weight as they feel there best chance is with Rick not carrying extra poundage as they know he fights better without it, also with Rick its a discipline thing he has to work his bollox off to make lite welter and trains that hard and disciplined that come fight time hes ready and fit enough and ready to burst, he ain't the same animal without that discipline and gaining weight and carrying it well ain't always that easy, and has he done anything at Welter Collazo fight apart, where Rick said post fight himself said that he felt the extra power of his opponent at welter weight,
So back to the original point Hattons camp intend giving weight away so it could easy see half stone difference if thats what they intend, that way hes at his hungriest fastest and meanest, thats the intention...
