    Hatton is a naturally bigger man than Floyd both inside and outside of the ring.

    He sure wasn't bigger when they fought. Hatton was coming up from 140. He had 1 fight at 147 before the Floyd fight and then went back down to 140 for his next 2. Go watch the fight again. Floyd was bigger. Just because Ricky liked his meat pies in between fights didn't mean he was bigger than Floyd that night.

    Hatton likely outweighed Mayweather though, most 140 lbs fighters will weigh around 147-155 lbs on the night of the fight, Floyd even now that he is bigger than he was back in those days weighed 150 lbs 30 days out from his last few fights.

    Floyd was a lightweight until he fought Chop Chop when he moved to JWW and had 3 fights, Hatton was a career JWW basically his entire career. By the time they met up, Floyd had 4:huh fights at WW while Hatton had 1 against Collazo. There was no size advantage for Floyd. When they walked into the ring, Hatton was larger than Floyd.

    Floyd weighs 150 lbs 30 days out Vs Pacquaio, Canelo and Maidana x2 can you name any other natural jnr Middle who weighs that light so far out from the fight?

    This is going by official WBC pre fight weigh ins.

    Floyd is kinda small because hes super fit with low body fat ;)
    he doesn't weight more than 155 fight night that's for sure!

    for god sake perterson was weighting 165 in a bout at 143 -_-
    the others welterweight are heavier than him but cant really bully him because there weight advantage is just fat

    Exactly. Mayweather is a natural welterweight because he is lean and in shape.

    If anything Mayweather and Pacquiao are now normal sized because they threw the division into a funk. Hearns, Leanord, DelaHoya, Margarito, Williams, Mayora, Forrest, they were all 5'10" or taller. Once Pacquiao came up to the division everyone from junior welter and below wanted to come up and follow where the money is at. The is one of the shortest group of welters there have been in a long time.

    He almost always weighs himself before fights.

    150.5 vs. Alvarez (Floyd lost 0.5 pound from weigh in to fight night)

    150 vs. Ortiz (while Ortiz was 164 pounds)

    etc. etc. He usually weighs himself. Just watch the broadcasts on youtube when they're showing the tale of the tape.

    Not jumping on the scales for Maidana II was one of few exceptions.

    Floyd himself even said that pacquiao was surprised that he is big. Floyd also said that he is a big welter. Floyd's own mouth.

    Can I get a source for Floyd saying he's a big welter? I remember him saying he's a 'full welter' which would mean he's average/natural at the weight at this point in his career but don't recall him saying he's a big welter. Thanks!

    Floyd is not a 'small' WW.

    He absolutely DWARFS Manny, and he was no different in size to Canelo.
