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

[bambamdaddio]

If he is so much better at LW, and he must be aware of this, then why not come in at that weight. PBF was not never going to be significantly bigger than Hatton, regardless of whether Hatton came in at 140 or 145 (which is what I think he weighed in at), and the weight wouldn't have made any more than a marginal difference, one that would easily be offset by a "sharper, more explosive" Hatton. Of course extra training and discipline make a difference, but I'm sure Hatton wasn't spending his prefight training time drinking guiness and eating burgers. I highly doubt he let his training slip during the run up to fight the best fighter in the world, that, IMO, is a ridiculous assertion. Hatton and his team believed weighing in at 140 would've given him a better chance against PBF, then they would've done it as, because of the fact that Floyd is not even a natural 140lber, the weight discrepency would've been negligable.

I'm not trying to be mean, but your argument makes little sense to me. PBF owns Hatton at whatever weight they fight at. Like others have mentioned, PBF would also be sharper and faster at 140, negative whatever supposed advantage you think Hatton would have.

Thats fine bud ... so we have different points of view you keep talking about Floyd who is awesome ... but as I keep saying its about Hatton for me ..Im not disputing who would win as Ive said all along it would still be Floyd but Hatton would fight a better fight

Look you aint changin my thinkin ... nor me yours so lets agree to disagree yeah ... then neither of us gets frustrated at going around in circles ok...

I respect your opinion as a fellow poster & thank you for it..

Of course I keep talking about Floyd, that is who Hatton was fighting. He is relevant because you claim he would have some kind of size advantage against Hatton if Hatton came in weighing 140, which is not true. I agree that if Hatton was fighting a Margarito this point would be moot, but he wasn't fighting a true welter.

But whatever, I'll drop it, but honestly I still don't feel you've made a valid point and this board is all about debating these things.

I apologise if I didnt make a valid point to you but TrainerMonkey understands me so to me the point was worth making...

You dont agree I accept that ...& ill stop harpin on now too
