I know 140 was where Hatton won his best fights
What difference would the Floyd fight be at 140 then 147...Floyd was a small WW he wasn't a big puncher so its not like Hatton was over his head against a bigger opponent at 147
Hatton was a cow in between fights so saving himself 7 pounds to lose benefited him
140 or 147 it wouldn't of made a difference
Just like had the fight with PAC been at 147 it wouldn't of made a difference
Im saying the entire equation (the weight class, venue, and referee) would've contributed to it being a different and more difficult fight for Floyd imo....not just the weight.
At 140, with a different referee, in England...Hatton would've stood a better chance against Floyd. As it stood, he did well up until the 6th round. I believe had those circumstances been different (140, Manchester Arena, Dave Parris as referee) the fight would've been a lot harder for Floyd than it was.
As far as Pacquiao goes, it didnt matter what weight class or anything (venue/referee), because Hatton's style is all wrong for Manny Pacquiao. He was a come forward brawler with no speed or defense or head movement while Pac was still in his prime.
Prime Pacquiao KOs Prime Hatton everytime they match up
