154 is what he came in against Mayweather, and Kostya Tszyu, I think thats the right weight for him. I hope he doesn't make the same mistake Oscar did in trying to be as light as possible to move quicker. IMO trying to outbox Pacquiao at this point in his career is a huge mistake for anyone except JMM and Mayweather. Hatton needs to be able to get Pacquiao on the ropes, and have the strength to suffocate his offense. At 154 he would still be light enough to move well.

Are you sure about that Taeth? Mayweather I can believe with the fight being at WW but not so sure on KT. To gain a whole stone in 24 hours seems a lot.

He comes down from like 180, its normal to put on a lot of weight. I mean Manny was going from 135 to 147 or 148 at lightwieght, that is pretty close. Based on Hatton's body type, how he eats and drinks outside of training camp, he is the type of guy that will put on quite a bit of weight, he stated after the Collazo fight where he weighed in at 160 that normally when he fought at 140, he was coming into the ring at 152-154, and that he wanted to do that against Mayweather.
