    PBF started at 130, Hatton has always been a big 140...and Hatton will outweigh PBF on fightnight...so once Hatton gets bled to death i don't wanna hear the excuse about Hatton fighting at welter...and PBF has been the smaller man fighting at welter everytime out...thats just one excuse that can't be used after PBF destroys Hatton...PBF TKO 9 Hatton...:deal

    We've seen Hatton at Welter before against Collazo, it wasn't too impressive. I think he'll do better this time around (not good enough to be Floyd) but so far at Welter Hatton hasn't been really good.

    Bigger Man - Smaller Man - Floyd is just the Better Man of the 2 Fighters.

    let me break it down dummy-style for you challenged ones, it's not about how Hatton looked fighting at welter, it's about WHO he's fighting and PBF is nowhere near as big as Luis Collazo...thats the point

    the ones who say Floyd is bigger keep arguing Ricky looks better at 140 than 147. Well Floyd looks better at 130 than 147, so i don't wanna hear it. The winner is the better fighter tonight, and maybe we'll get an exciting rematch if it's not a mismatch.

    Floyd got a 5 inch reach over Collazo, and 7 over Ricky.

    Well, Hatton walks around at 175, I'd say he's the "naturally" bigger guy.

    Its funny that people say this isn't Hattons natural fighting weight yet they crucify Floyd saying he's ducking Margarito and all these other huge welterweights and they say nothing about Floyd being to small to fight them. Floyd started out at 130 thats 2 weight classes below what Hatton has fought his entire career so I don't wanna hear that excuse when Hatton gets his ass whipped

    big deal....Ali was Taller than frazier, foreman was Bigger than Ali, etc etc

    at the end of the day- its not what u have- its how you use it. If u look at all the champs- in every weight class right now- there is no prototype body type. Some are short and stocky- some are long and rangy- some are just athletic. Both these guys have used what god gave them to the utmost maximum level- and are good at it. Neither one of em would say- err my arms are too short to get to him- or my arms are too long to fend him off. They ve both fended off guys like each other millions of times. Hatton has ALWAYs been the shorter guy- and floyd has almost always been the more slender man in the ring. In 81 fights- it has yet to bother each man.

    lets just enjoy it.

    the thing is if you understand styles you will understand that the difference in weight affects Hatton's style much more than Floyd's

    I agree with the above psoter that its not a big deal, but definately Hatton at 140 is a harder fight than Hatton at 147.

    That's just logic.

    :-(( you still don't get the point...what don't you understand about PBF is not a natural 147? you keep talkin this dumb **** about styles, Hatton's style will be the same at any weight, and PBF has the same style as he's moved up in weight...your logic ain't worth beans right now...
