jst a side note as people are bringing up Collazo as a reason why Hatton wont do well agaisnt Mayweather at welterweight....yea Hatton had as much time to prepare for the fight as Collazo but Hatton didnt know from the off wen he woz given a date for his next fight after Carlos Maussa that he would be fighting at welterweight,i forget who his orginal opponent woz meant to be but up until 5 wks b4 it woz meant to be at Light-welterweight and then that fighter pulled out and he woz offered a chance to move up and fight Collazo at welterweight for the WBA title instead so from that perspective yea him and Collazo had as much time as each other to prepare but considering how Hatton woz moving up a weight class but Collazo woz training for a fight at his natural weight anyway thats how Collazo had a slight advantage going into it.

As for hattons poor preparations thats true...he didnt prepare properly,he ate the wrong foods to bulk up and what not,he even admitted after that he allowed himself the odd takeaway and he underestimated Collazo,he said on the night of the fight he came in at abt 158 lbs!!...so there u go,thats how he put on a sup-par performance against Collazo,he hadnt the ideal prep for the fight,woznt in the best condition he cld hav been........i got this info from interviews with Hatton and his trainer etc from the build up programmes on the Setanta tv channel in the UK in the build-up to his fight against Castillo
