The funniest bit was Enzo Maccrinelli on stage with the likes of Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De la Hoya and co.

 

Whatever is said and done, it was a great ****in weigh in...let's ****ing have it.

 

Ray Hatton, father and manager of Ricky, said his son is planning to come to the ring as junior welterweight. He told TalkSPORT radio, that he made a major mistake by bulking Ricky up for his 2006 welterweight bout with Luis Collazo.

Hatton's plan for the Mayweather fight is to come in at the junior welterweight limit of 140, even if the bout is at welterweight. Mayweather used the same approach in the May 5 bout Oscar De La Hoya. He used the less is more approach by coming to the ring weighing 148-pounds, a pound over the welterweight limit, for a bout at the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds. He refused to bulk up in order to keep his speed against De La Hoya, which is the same gameplan of Hatton Sr. is planning to use against him in December.

"When we fought Luis Collazo, we made a mistake. We tried to make Ricky as big as the guy he was fighting. When you only have a stature of 5ft 7in there are limitations of what weight he can put on before it affects him, Hatton Sr. said. "We slowed him down. His body was carrying more weight than what it was used to when it was put under exertion in a 12-round fight, so his performance dropped off."
"I caused a lot of confusion a few weeks ago when I said that Ricky Hatton wouldn't be fighting at welterweight. What I actually said was that he may be fighting for titles at welterweight. But he will not be coming in the ring as a welterweight. He'll be coming in the ring as a light-welterweight fighting a welterweight. We won't to be putting on weight he doesn't need. We've made that mistake once; we won't be making that mistake again."

 

Yes, very logical.

Especially considering the fact that he weighed less than 150 on fight night for his last 2 welterweight bouts, versus Judah and Baldomir.

 

Wait, tell me we might actually have something resembling two welterweights come fight night... because that would be something new.

 

So basically they've bullshitted? He does look in great shape though.

 

damn hatton was ripped. you can tell he is ready. he wants to knock heads off. i love the britain fans. that was great to see. mayweather was rattled. he left. hatton gave a speach. amazing............. it has me thinking i might have to change my prediction. ricky looks like a pit ready to go to war.

 

Hatton pressed that nose right into Mayweather and Floyd started talking for that reason. Still, he doesn't learn and was mocking/taunting Hatton at this point immitating his fight style. The kids to prevent confrontation? My ass they were - they were there to show the Ring P4P belt and the WBC WW belt and in the direction of Ricky, clearly an intimidation move... Hatton is too much into this the way he asked those 2 questions and wanted the public to get alongside him to f***in go get those titles. Legions said the Sky news reporters. Classic stuff.

 

What do boxers do to put on a lot of weight the night before the fight anyway, just have a good drink and feed?
