Hatton is not a welterweight, he fought there for the first time and almost got knocked out... Hatton basically has lost every fight at welterweight.
floyd was called out by ricky hatton
people said floyd was ducking ricky hatton
floyd takes the fight, knocks him out
now ricky hatton is too small:francis:
yall act like someone coming up to a new weight class for the first never beat a boxer who's already there

we can clearly see floyd is not at his best at 154 and hes being outweighed by almost 20 on fight night but he still gets the job done
its just such a lazy excuse

:dwillhuh:

so floyd only hydrated one pound?
He's always never re-hydrated to some ridiculous amount, even in the lower divisions. That's what happens when you fight at your walk around weight and you don't do this once you cash that check (see background):

the question initially was who fought a better hatton, floyd or manny... i was just saying that someone could claim manny fought him at hattons best wieght... so that could be a better version... floyd did nothing wrong and shouldnt be blamed for taking that fight, fighters move up all the time to fight the champ.

That would be a pretty bad argument. You could say Oscar's best weight was 147 (arguable). Doesn't mean Manny fought a better version than Floyd.

your right that he walks around at his fight wieght... to me i think he looks bigger during his fights, i think he gains mass during his fights.

well oscar was solid in alot of wieght classes... hatton only in one, he only won once at at welterwieght and many think it was a robbey.. he almost got knocked out.... so he goes back down only to come back up for floyd and gets knocked out.

Floyd walk around weight is probably 160ish, with how he trains all those calories he burn, you would be a fool to think he ain't taking off no weight....

Floyd said in a post prison interview he bulked up to 165, his walk around weight is most likely around then

It's funny cause before the fight was made people were saying floyd was ducking Mosley
And when Mosley had floyd hurt in the 2 you and many others had orgasims.
Mosley didn't become old until floyd started whippin on him so easily
Well I'm not worried about what some people were thinking but for me Mosley been looking since the Collazo fight and when he fought Mayorga that confined it in my eyes.

He looked nervous in the Mayweather fight like that was his first big fight.
