    Why? PBF was on top of the boxing world P4P #1 and Hatton wanted what PBF had so why should he go down to 140 and fight on Hatton's terms? PBF went up to 154 and fought on Oscar's terms and Hatton did the same which was the right thing to do.

    What has Hatton got to do with DLH?Point is Floyd knew his easy way out was fighting Hatton at 47 and he had some trouble in the early rounds there too,at 140 the fight would be different.Floyd saw Hatton was **** at 147 in his only fight at 47,oh and Hatton being WBC 147 mandatory was complete bull****

    That's not the end of story.


    You think he weighed 155 walking around.


    Floyd walked around 145-150 when not fighting.

    When he was active boxer between fights he walked 153-155.Now he walks around 160,what is the problem?He weighed 150 for the Oscar fight,that means he didn't lose any weight while in training?That's crazy!

    Floyd stayed in constant fighting shape during his career.

    Floyd walked around at 149 most of the time he was fighting at WW. On fight nights Floyd weighed 148/149.

    You're right the fight would have been different. It would have been even worse for Hatton at 140. PBF threw more punches and was faster of both hand and foot with more pop at 140. He stops Hatton even sooner at 140 than he did at 147.:deal BTW how did he take the easy way out when he offered to fight Hatton at 140 back in 2005 but was turned down? Blame Hatton for the fight not happening at 140 not PBF.

    I was reffering to his WW fights. Obviously you were too blind to see that.

    I actually rate his victories at WW among his best.

    I was one of the people who didn't think he'd beat Hatton, and he did. That shut me up/

    I disagree a little,I still go with Floyd but in a different fight,Floyd in december 07 would die to make 140 and Ricky could bully him up not like at 47.Floyd's speed will still be there but not the power.True Hatton turned him down in 05 but Floyd knew this is another Arturo Gatti.What about Hatton being mandatory?Do you think that was normal?

    When Floyd fought at WW, he walked around at 148/149 maybe even 150.

    On fight nights he weighed 148/149 because he didn't cut weight really to make WW.

    Now when he fought DLH he weighed 150 on fight night.

    You want to claim Mayweather walks around at 155-160 yet why would Mayweather if he walked around at that weight CUT an extra 4lbs to weigh in at 150 for a 154lb fight?


    You have no idea what you are talking about.

    When he fought at WW?He fought at WW till his last fight.So when he fought Oscar he weighed-in at 150 and came in at 150?I know he said that but you gotta be an idiot to believe that ****,he was liying.And he wasn't walikng around 160 during the Oscar fight but in the last months.Offcourse if you hug his nut a little stronger he might comedown to 147
