    Obviously that's not an excuse, but he looked sick and came in at the very limit.

    I'm not sure. I don't think so. In fact I think he probably had an easier time because he had less weight to take off than usual and a longer camp.

    But he has never looked healthy at weight-ins. And his life style finally caught up with him. Honestly? I think he's lucky Malignaggi and Lazcano didn't have bigger power or he may just of lost those fights. He was stunned in both.

    Well, supposedly you're much more susceptible to concussions once you've had one or two. Hatton's had his brain rattled a number of times times.

    I don't think so. He just treated his body like crap inbetween fights and all that bad living caught up with him. It was an inevitable outcome. You wouldn't catch a real pro like Hopkins doing that between fights. Hatton is a warrior, and his own worst enemy.

    Because as the USUAL EVERY AFTER Pac fights, they need to make excuses that everyone would agree.

    Pac keeps winning, haters keeps whining.

    Next thing you know PBF isn't the same PBF we know.

    I don't understand the logic behind this. I give Pac all the credit in the world for fighting a great fight and being a great fighter. That doesn't mean I can't speculate on the reasons behind Hatton's obvious decline.

    Don't lie, you know that every Pac wins. His opponents are called shots, old, weight drained, bums from taking a 1 sided beatings.

    Heck some haters only recognized him LOST to Marquez on both fights which isn't the reality.

    Maybe Pac should look like he's having hard time even if its 'fake'. And not do a 1 side beating.

    He may have had trouble making weight, but he had even bigger problems with his hands.You see, Hatton is the only fighter in the sport that is allowed to wear 50lb gloves. He can't lift them up for nothing. No matter how many times he gets tagged he continues to come forward with those enormously heavy gloves low. The boxing comission shouldn't allow it. That can get a man hurt.

    He looked like he usually does, have you seen his pictures during the weigh-in with Tszyu?, he didn't look much different.
