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

[killersheep]

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

Are you saying he fought Mayweather and Collazo less aggressively and more slowly than his fights at 140?

No Im saying the extra he has to give to make lite welter changes him all around & I really believe it does ... & I really believe its a mental thing, in that having to discipline himself that much more changes him ... as well as the fitness benefits obviously...he has to put in extra at lw that gives him a different toughness mentally & physically, which I believe gives a better fighter in bringing out the best in him thats all..

So why does that not apply to Mayweather?
