he won't go down to light welter mate. if a fight with hatton happens it will be at welter. and plus there arnt any other big fights for floyd down at 140 so welter would be as far as he would go now as at least the likes of cotto and mosley are there.
and floyd wont knock ricky out anyways

Ricky won't fight Floyd at welterweight Ricky is'nt strong enough at welterweight and if they did fight Floyd would stop Ricky

aparently he would. he says thats his dream fight and a fight he would definately go to welter for. he will still be stronger than floyd at welter and its only that hatton wasnt able to bully colazo (a natural welter) the way that he is able to rough up most of his oponents that people judge he wont be strong at the weight.

It was Ricky's own addmission that he was'nt strong enough at welter thats why he moved back down.If you think Ricky beats Floyd your crazy he won't beable to do all that hugging that he did against Urango and Tsyzu for first 5 rounds

mate i'm just saying that that the fight has every chance of happening at welter because they have both mentioned it happening. and i didnt say i think ricky beats floyd. i said floyd isnt stopping hatton. because i dont think he packs enought of a punch to really hurt ricky. part of me thinks hatton wont lay a glove on mayweather. but the other part of me thinnks that if hatton turns up to fight floyd with the mentality that it's the fight of his life (simmilar scenario as the tszyu fight) then he would be like a man possesed and all over floyd like a rash.
and ricky didnt really move back down to 140 as he never really moved up in the first place. he only took the fight at welter at short notice and because of the tv network issues and had every intention of fighting back at 140 because thats his natural fighing weight.

It could be still. He has put on all this weight so quickly, and stays in such phenomenal shape that he will be cut at 152, and he would have to lose 5 pounds of muscle which may be alot for his frame because he will not have anything else to lose.

I don't know man if it would be hard for him to loose the wieght. I mean think about it. What he only fights like once or twice a year and I think thats plenty of time for him to drop the weight and not be wieght drained. Now personally I don't want him to go below welter but I do believe he could do it with ease actually. I'm hoping after he fights Oscar and hopefully he wins he goes down to Welter and cleans that division out.

I think that Floyd would have no problem dropping to 147 which I think he will in order to take on Hatton.He lives in the gym basically.I wouldnt say that I want him to clean the division out because I dont think that there is anyone other than Hatton who could make a serious fight.I still believe that Hatton will get lose maybe 9rounds to 3.
