Whatever reason or this very reason - Hatton never looked great at 147. PBF had already proven he could fight at 154, and did pretty well. Some can do it, other can't. However, it is not a bad win for PBF by all means. Just not great either as it would seem.

My bad on Gatti.

How did PBF already prove he could fight at 154? His only fight there was his first.

That is the one I meant. I was refering to when he met Hatton, which was after the 154 bout against Oscar; that he could carry the extra weight with only small issues.
