how so? Just b/c Mayweather fought at 154 doesnt mean he;s bigger....when has Hatton fought at 130? I dnt see how Hatton is the smaller man, if anything he is the naturally bigger man. Floyd couldve stayed at 135 his whole career if he really wanted to,especially.when.his.walking.around.weight.is.like.150
Floyd 5'8 Hatton 5'6 Foyd 72" reach Hatton 65" reach Floyd has also fought at higher weights (meaning he has shown he can handle the extra pounds.). He is bigger in every way bro. :good
Hatton groupies like to pretend he's bigger than PBF so they can have an excuse when Hatton gets outclassed...PBF can still make 135...
you're judging size just on height and reach alone...that's very flawed logic...Hatton is much stockier than PBF, and Hatton weighs more than PBF on fightnight no matter what weightclass PBF has competed in...
exactly...I could never imagine Hatton making 130 or even 135 for that matter. And doesnt he walk around at ike 180?
Bigger in every way EXCEPT ACTUAL WEIGHT IN THE RING:roll: You know damn well Hatton enters the ring heavier then Mayweather. Hatton SWEATS DOWN to fight at 140, Mayweather doesn't. Floyd could make 135 if he decided to sweat the weight off for the weigh in. Bottom line, Hatton is the thicker/heavier man. FACT:Ricky will outweigh Floyd on fightnight FACT:Ricky enters the the ring for his 140lb fights heavier then Floyd enters the ring for his 147lb fights. This weight this is just a built-in excuse for HattonLovers/Floyd-haters.
I also mentioned that he has proven it at a higher weight. I added the other two things in to show his physical size advantages in other areas as well. You mentioned Mormeck and Williams but noone would ever pick Williams over Mormeck at CW because Mormeck has PROVEN to be able to handle the extra weight....much like Floyd has. He is taller, has a longer reach and has shown that he can fight at a higher weight....dont just take one part of my arguement and run with it...yet leave out the most important thing. For the begining point of your post, read above. For the end.....I like Hatton alot actually, but I dont think he would beat Floyd. And it has NOTHING to do with size.
Well there is one. Hatton's tecnnique at 147 does not work as well as it does at the lower weight. So it really does depend on how comfortable Pretty Boy is at the weight. Very, I would suggest.
He's 2 inches taller. They'll be fighting at a weight difference of 1lb, if anything. Who's to say Hatton is the bigger man, just because he's been a light welterweight his whole career?
Thank you.... This fight would be at a higher weight then Hatton is accustomed to....but one that Floyd has already proven he could handle. Hense the feeling that Floyd would be the bigger man. But, I dont think ANYONE really feels that size is going to matter much....other than reach maybe with Floyd countering from outside. Hense why I posted the reach numbers. But of course, people looking at this as a Hatton fan or a Floyd hater will ignore this.
