    No, you BELIEVE you are, but you aren't.

    Tell you what hoss, if they fought when Floyd WAS 130/135, ONLY then might you have some point.

    They didn't fight as up and coming kids. Both were mature fully grown men. There's TOO MUCH hyperbole on floyd's tiny stature from y'all...

    He could but chose not to. You suggesting that he couldn't do the weight cut and rehydrate that the vast majority of boxers go through, if he had to?

    "You cannot say that Floyd was physically smaller on the night just due to a 4 pound difference in weight."
    You keep saying that without offering a reason.

    My point is that Floyd fought 31 fights at 130/135. He fought there all the way into his mid 20s.

    Hatton never fought below 140, even as a teenager.

    My argument that Hatton is naturally bigger, isn't exactly ridiculous.

    I'm suggesting he could not make 144. Or he could, and he chose to come in heavy.

    Floyd fought at 130/135 as a full grown man.

    Hatton at the same ages was never abler to fight below 140.

    Hatton was a guy who'd regularly rehydrate 10-15lns after weighing in at 140. The emaciated pictures of him on the weighing scales at 140 are legendary.

    When they did fight, Hatton outweighed Mayweather in the ring.

    I don't want to keep repeating myself, but saying that Hatton was the naturally bigger man, is hardly unreasonable.

    Not aimed at you, but why was Floyd's shoulder injury any more valid than Pac's shoulder injury? People love saying that Pac faked the injury despite a world famous sports surgeon confirming and operating on it.

    I think the fight should have been at 147 anyway, Marquez ended up there. I think sometimes we forget that generally speaking boxers in this day and age are weight bullies to a far greater degree than this. We have fighters who would be a few divisions above if same day weigh ins were reintroduced.

    He was effective at certain points.

    Floyd had to cover up whilst Oscar was unloading.

    Those things catch the judges eye and score points.

    The Oscar fight is a different debate altogether.

    The point is, Canelo showed him too much respect, and a mature version wouldn't have done.

    Regarding a BJS fight, I've wanted this fight for so long. But now it looks like being made, I can't get excited for it. Because BJS isn't looking good at all.

    Floyd had the chance to fight Antonio Margarito. It was the fight EVERYONE wanted to see after Antonio LEGITIMATELY destroyed Cotto . At last Floyd FINALLY told the truth he avoided him, Damn he even "retired" so he wouldnt have to fight him. He avoided Antonio because he was TERRIFIED of him. We've all seen that video where Floyd totally embarrassed himself. Oscar Fishnets was another. He bragged he wanted the winner of Tony/Cotto to " Go out in style" but rapidly changed his mind when he saw what Tony did to Cotto
    The total bull feces about Tony ever having loaded wraps was a fortunate let off for both. Even the CSAC have never come out & said "Margarito used loaded wraps" The nearest they ever got was saying They SUSPECTED he used them & thats why he was railroaded by them after Richardsons blatant lies.
    A damn good fighters good name & career was tainted by a blatant lie & an incompetant, or corrupt you choose, State Commission
    Both Floyd & Oscar KNEW they couldnt beat Tony. They now had the perfect excuse not to fight him. Boxing really sucks at times with the blatant corruption

    You can say he was naturally bigger if you like. But you posted your list of weights to prove that Floyd was the physically smaller men in all of those fights.

    You listed the Hatton fight as one of your examples.

    I've already given you a reason:

    Height, reach, arm length etc.

    Sorry, but Floyd was not physically smaller than Ricky Hatton when they fought in 2007, based upon a difference of 4 pounds of weight.

    Then don't keep repeating yourself... you define size strictly by weight. Fine...

    Difference is pbf had a bad shoulder you heard him complain to his corner during the fight and won a close fight. While pac checked he had no medical condition on the form never once complained to his corner during the fight and lost clearly. Pac's shoulder was an excuse he threw punches with both arms and never said a word to his corner or looked to be in pain.
