Was Ricky Hatton weight Drain at 140?

[BoxingGorilla]

Making any weight is draining when you swell up like a dog tick between fights.

Seriously...

[Hunter]

Yeah - I agree, he could have taken care of himself better in between fights.

But even if he was I dont think he really had a choice. He cant really compete at 47 with his skills and style...

I have never heard this excuse used before. Don't think it holds water for a fighter who has had almost all of his fight at 140. In fact I heard people saying how much of an advantage it was going to be for him, and how Pacquiao was going to have to deal with a real top tier 140 pound fighter.

I swear I've never heard so many excuses for losing as I've heard with Hatton.

His chin left him
unable to move up a division
Joe Cortez
his opponent cheated (used his elbows)
too much Guinness
weight drain

If it wasn't for all of these things, he'd be an ATG for sure.
