    No -- he was effected by fighting the best version of JT we had ever seen.

    Past - Willie Pep, his movement was everything to him & he was born to be a FWT, fighting at 130 would have took something from him IMO but you never know.

    Current - David Haye (watch & see :D)

    he's too short, with a very small reach, so that has a lot to do with it i think. he could probably just about lose 5lbs and fight at LW and still be a monster i would guess.

    paul williams and margo are basically MW, if all those fighters were 140lb'ers hatton would beat them, probably cotto included.

    I have high hopes for both of these fighters, and I doubt Ivan would be doing like this...

    More likely a Donaire UD win

    i agree.hatton does not move up weight well at all.
    he fats out, slows up, and loses p4p power.
    oh and gets ko`d.lol.
    he should never move up weight again as he is king at140.

    I think Hatton could do something at 147 - with Floyd sr in his corner, and therefore more intelligent tactics.

    He (and his fanboys) use it as an excuse for two less than stellar showings - for Collazo he was badly out of shape IMO.
