    a 147 guy would knock out a 154 pounder come fight night

    Replace would with will!:good

    I don't know if I believe Hatton saying he will be 154. He'll get KO'd either way though, I agree!

    Hopkins always fought within 10lbs of his weight. PBF did the same. Thats the difference between excellence and mediocrity. This isn't a sport defined by size. Skill beats will.

    Hatton will go sumo wrestler on Pac. He will smother him and rough him up.

    I though Jay Nady was the ref? He won't allow that. As I said before, there was a reason Nady was the guy picked to referee both Hopkins/Taylor fights.

    He's pretty fair too. I think there is pressure on the referee for a fight like this regardless of who it is to not allow the Hatton grappling to take place too excessively. Pac will use lateral movement anyway to avoid this and Hatton does not do well with any lateral movement.

    That's very true. We already know the heavier Hatton gets the less effective he is as we've seen at WW. He's already at a disadvantage speed wise!

    Hopefully Pac rehydrates up to at least 146 and the weight advantage is under 10 pounds. He seemed to be in perfect shape against Oscar, and his ring weight was 149 if my memory serves correctly. Whilst that isn't big for a light welter its heavy enough to let skills do the talking.

    He will be waiting to land that shot to the ribs that might send pac waltzing down ***** street.

    That's not the punch that put him down though.

    PPL just dont understand that he was dieing at 130 and didnt want to stay at 135 either, because he was already big for that weight class to.

    Very true. That's why he is as fast and stronger above 130. He was draining himself to make 130. He could probably still do 135 okay but 140 is more comfortable.
