Someone explain this to me (Floyd/Hatton weight issue)

[bambamdaddio]

OK bud, here goes, for starters Floyd WILL always beat Hatton, but would have a tougher time at lite welter why ... its dead simple,

Because the mental attitude Hatton develops at lite welter is a million miles away from the one he has at welter.....

Why?

Because Hatton has to train like a b*****d to get down to that weight, & everything has to be spot on A plus or he cant make the weight ... no odd pints of guiness or meat pies...he trains to such an extent that he becomes sharper and less sluggish, he becomes lean as fk, strong mean & hard because of what he has had to go thru....at lite welter he cant cut one corner ... not one ...but he can at welter & has in the past ...

He would still get beat by Floyd at this weight ... but dont make the mistake of thinking this would be exactly the same because it wouldnt, yes he would still prob lose, but you sure as hell would see a different fight from Hatton at LW....

& for the record Im a massive fan of both & picked Hatton to get stopped after 8 rounds in there previous dust up at Welter...

I don't agree with that, but I will rep you for posting a reasonable explanation

& Big respect to ya for that bud .. because thats all I was trying to do based on what I know of Hatton & the times Ive chatted with him which is only a couple...

& I respect your view of not agreeing with me I really do ... because I really dont mind who agrees or disagrees, Im simply putting together a point of view from how I see it & if it causes more debate then thats brilliant .....

If I have said anything too uncivil in my posts then I apologize here & now to all of you & with sincerity..

I can see that actually,Ricky is a guy who if you give him a margin for error,he'll be happy to take it. So I can see him having to discipline himself for a lower weight may indeed help him.
