all this weight stuff is a load of nonsense. How can a guy go from being a beast (as some of you make out) to being average 7lbs north of that?
Bollocks.

Just accept Hatton has looked worse for other reasons, not least because he's been fighting harder opponents.
Hatton was oveerated all along.
As long as Tszyu and Castillo show us nothing since fighting Hatton, it's fair to deduce they were both done...as suspected....especially in the case of Castillo. After that there's nothing special on his record.

A bit like witters and mallinaggis then. Wait hatton been at 140 all his career and will probably finish at 140 also, so whoever said that it is bollocks.

two things....

first... hatton did look a little "smallish"....he fought the best way he could, even if mayweather was at his jr welt or lightweight size, i dont see the fight going any different... mayweather reminded me why he was p4p king..

second....mayweather is NOT a blown up "jr middleweight"...its all muscle...MAYORGA is blown up, cuz its some fat...im just enjoying this:rasta

Guys,

All this bull**** about how Hatton was a blown up Junior Welterweight and using that as an excuse for him losing to Mayweather is ridiculous. As people may or may not know, Mayweather started his career at 130 and has moved up to Junior Middleweight and back down to 147. He walks around at 150, and could still make 140 if he wanted to. Hatton walks around at 165lbs and started his career at 140. Hatton is naturally 10lbs heavier than Floyd. Do you really think that if this fight occured at 140, the result would have been different? So you are saying that if Hatton had to cut another 5 pounds of fat (he came in at 145) he would have fared better? That's absurd.

Hatton was outclassed, it's as simple as that. Mayweather was an average 140 pounder, and is a small welterweight. This was not an issue or size, it was an issue of skill. Let's say that Hatton had to make 140 for the fight, and weighed about 145-150 on fight night and Floyd had to make 140 for the fight and weighed 147-150 on fight night, would that really have mattered? The answer is no, so stop the bull****.

hatton was outclassed period.however i think floyd is a bigger man than hatton and it did have a role to play.sure floyd was a super featherweight but he won that title at 21.won the lightweight title at 25.a lot of young men are still filling their frames out throughout their twenties,and the fact is at this moment in time at nearly 31 floyd is a fully fledged welterweight and hatton,no matter how much he falsley balloons up in weight between fights isn't.in the build up and during the fight floyd always looked the bigger man to me.
