JEEZ I'm no real fan of either PBF or RH -------but "**** BIGVIC" get your facts right cause you sure stepped into cow**** with your statements--:-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(
The point being it's also likely that he weighed more than Floyd on the fightnight... you can't really use the weight card here. I don't think Ricky is suited to 147 but that's because of his style, in reality he gets by at 140 largely because he is a big guy there and can bully people around.
Floyd is much taller and has a bigger frame then Hatton. He also has a considerably longer reach. Ricky's Height and reach really are very limiting in the Welter division. He simply isnt big enough.
Ricky's not too small for welter, his reckless style combined with his size makes him too small for welterweight. If we're talking size and short arms only, then Rocky Marciano and Mike Tyson were too small for heavyweight.
Marciano was from a time when Heavyweights were allot smaller. Tyson was a small heavyweight and partly because of this he was exposed badly later on in his career.
