Its been like this 4 weeks now.very strange

Why is it at 147lb he seemed to be making the weight ok at 140.

He struggled making it for the Pacquiao fight, he looked gaunt at the weigh in.

Not a gimme by any means and they may want to look for a slower sort of guy.Forbes has enough hand speed,foot work and endurance to mark up Hatton significantly and might just have him playing catch up as the rounds go by.Bad style for him.

[TheDemolitionDan]

Forbes is a tough little opponent, but I'm not sure about Hatton's punch resistance anymore. If he was in his prime he would easily win, but we all saw what happened against Lazcano. He was stunned twice against him. Hatton isn't the same and against Pacquiao he was a shell of himself while Pacquiao skills continue to grow.

Also, forgot to add, why at 147 Hatton has never really looked great at 147. He has always seemed to diminsh down the stretch which is very un-Hatton like. Agaginst Mayweather and Collazo he started off strong, but at the end he has been winded and tired.

[generalbulldog]

Yep I was also thinking why is Hatton fighting at 147 when he hasn't looked that great at that division.

IMO I believe he can still beat many of the alphabet champions at 140. Let's say if he were to fight Kotelnik I would still favor Hatton.

Hatton likes 147 better. It's either on him since he doesn't struggle to make. The only reason he said he wasn't comfortable at 147 was cuz he needed an excuse for getting his ass kicked against Collazo and Mayweather. But in reality he loves the weight

[Pugilistic]

Why would it be at 147 ?

Both guys can make 140.....i think.

Hatton can't make 140 very well these days IMO

The server which hosted the sites was highjacked and was taken down along with Carl Froch site and couple of others i thought it would have been back up by now that was like 4 or 5 weeks ago.

Hatton: Forbes sounds interesting. Is it a one off then? Or is Hatton just testing the waters for further fights? And most curiously why at 147? Is this an admission that 140 really was too much for him in the end and it was Mayweather and Collazo that pushed him back down?

No he's fighting him 3 times. Then if he wins he has to fight Forbes' Dad.

Very similar to the Klitschko - Haye contract.
