Exactly..I hate how people are now bringing the weight arguement back into it. This match would have been EXACTLY the same at Junior Welterweight! How would it have been any different? Ricky already said he is going to train as though he is fight at Junior Welterweight because regardless, Hatton always comes in on fight night weighing over 150 even when he is at Junior Welterweight! Floyd always comes in weighing 147 on fight night..even against De La Hoya! So if the fight was to take place at Junior Welter, Hatton would have weighed what he normally weighs and Floyd would have gone back up close to 147 after the weigh in.

I swear we already decided before this fight that the weight wasn't going to be a factor? Now its being used as an excuse.
