BBC SPORT | Boxing | Hatton 'too strong for Pacquiao'

I can understand Hatton wanting to make the most of his size advantage over Pac but he'll be giving away even more speed to an already very fast fighter.

Surely this can't be right? He wouldn't risk being at a career high weight in a fight at this magnitude? Seems a big gamble to me
I agree, It's just too much. I don't know why he's contradicting himself anyway. Hatton said 4 to 6 lbs is optimum for re-hydration. (I saw it in a training interview) Now he's saying he'll rehydrate 14lbs. He had better plan to knock out Manny in the first 8 rounds. I think that is one big mistake because it will wreak his stamina totally in the later rounds. I heard his weight can be dramatic but I serious doubt he can do 14lbs. Perhaps it's just a mask. All this crap Mayweather Sr. spouts about Hatton being a different fighter what the hell is anyone suppost to believe.
