    Those arent good comparisons.
    Hatton had fought at 147 only one other time before facing Mayweather. It was against Luis Callazo where Hatton struggled, got rocked and nearly lost. Hatton vs Callazo clearly proved Hatton didnt belong at 147.

    Marquez was lured into a catchweight scam by Floyd and went up two divisions to take a fight against Floyd who had no intention of making any sacrificial weight cut.

    Everyone outside these guy's native countries knew these two were mismatches going into the fight.

    Pacquiao is the smallest person Mayweather has fought since Marquez. I see Mayweather winning but this is really more of a wildcard in Pacquiao's favor. Pacquiao has fought bigger opposition for most of his late career. Mayweather is small to compared to said opposition.
    How does Mayweather cope with the small guy? It could turn out like the Marquez fight. Utter domination. But it might turn out like the Pac-De la Hoya fight.

    Just like May will never have another Gatti type performance, Pac will never have a DLH type performance.

    This is true all of PBF's last 6 opponents have outweighed him in the ring on fight night. For once he will be the bigger man.

    Whether Daipdran is a midget or not, he'll fall like a box of rocks all the same when Floyd knocks him out.

    Cotto and Floyd had similar dimensions. Manny covers the ring very well when he wants to so he fights as if he was a much bigger fighter. Floyd is like Mr. Fantastic from Fantastic 4 he's almost elastic, he fights big and small, but recently, maybe due to age and very similar to Bhops, he's becoming an easier to find target.

    You realize Manny is always the smaller guy right?

    Why is this news? Margarito was way bigger, DLH was way bigger, Algieri was way bigger, Rios, etc.

    The only guy in recent memory who was Pac's height is Bradley and he is considerably more muscular.

    This is why I am predicting a TKO/KO in the later rounds (10 or 11) Floyd fights totally different when he is the bigger fighter and Pacquiao has no Chin.

    Judah and Corley was the fastest Floyd has ever fought. Didn't say more talented but faster than manny.
