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

[bambamdaddio]

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.

He made a totally valid point bro,Ricky is one of the most notorious undertrainers in the entire business.
It probably goes similar,but Hatton makes it a way better fight then it was,if he had come in in better shape.
Hatton's a great fighter,but he gives anybody whose stuck training him ulcers because of his lack of discipline
If he had had to make a lower weight,he might have trained harder and made a better go of it.
Floyd still probably beats him,but it wouldnt have been as one sided as it was

I'm pretty sure I remember the Hatton camp saying Ricky was training the hardest he ever had for the Mayweather fight. Mayweather is a gym rat, he is ALWAYS training, nobody trains harder than PBF fight coming up or not he is always in peak shape. Hatton getting into shape for 140 would require him to do extra cardio and wath his diet more, I don't see how either of those things would give him the extra skills to have anymore success against PBF than he did at 147.

Who said anything about skills bud ... & the Hatton camp will always say the best for there fighter...but the extra put in gives him more energy more discipline, more explosive power & more speed...not to mention what it does mentally when sacrificing so much, it makes ya meaner, more aggressive ... nothing to do with would he win or not Im bored of saying I dont think he would, but for the above reasons Im saying Hatton fights as a better fighter than he does at welter against anybody
