    Yeah Hatton is definetly not the smaller man here.. Maybe if you're going by height but that's about it.. Hatton walks around at close to 200lbs when hes not training so obviously he's the bigger man in this fight.

    Mayweather is a natural 135 lber, Hatton is a natural 140 lber. Hatton is tecnhically the bigger man. Mayweather has height and reach on Hatton though, and moved up first, so it will be close to even in terms of physical advantages, imo.

    So is Paul Williams bigger than Donell Wilson who fights at Lt HW? I mean he's got a shorter reach and isn't anywhere close to 6'1 where Paul Stands?

    lol...That wasn't a real question in case you were goinng to answer. Reach and Height won't confirm someone is bigger or smaller...it has to do with a person's FRAME....Hatton walks around natrually around 170 to 180....He's broader than Floyd. Floyd is lankier and taller by a little bit but he's not the natrually bigger man....Hatton is.

    My guess is that Hatton will enter the ring at around 160-162Lbs.

    Wow......you missed the point....DAMN!:rofl

    Floyd faught a 130 bro...he MOVED UP...naturally Floyd isn't a WW and neither is Hatton.

    They put their bodies through a strict training program to get down in weight.

    If HATTON was the smaller man he'd be able to make 130 or even 135. Or he would have in his younger years As Floyd did.

    The point of posting physical demensions was to show that just b/c you throw out a few numbers for height and reach won't justify saying Hatton is smaller.

    LOL! YES FOOL! That's why the word "NATURALLY" is being used. Anyone can loose weight and be at a UNTATURAL weight...that's doesn't mean "FIGHTING WEIGHT". Fighting weight could be anything for anyone, that doesn't mean it's their natrual wieght.

    What's floyd's fighting weight??? Let's see...it can be anywhere from 135 to 154, right? FIGHTING WEIGHT! Not FLoyd's Natural Weight.

    Paul Williams and Tommy Hearns started their careers at Welterweight!!!!! Are you telling me everyone that started their careers at Jr Middle are naturally bigger???????

    Floyd is the bigger man.....period.

    There are great weight differences in your examples how stupid are you Hatton and Floyd ARE close in weight BUT Floyd has a significant reach and height advantage.

    How big a fighter is doesnt just mean there weight:good

    Huh?? lol. I'm not sure what you are trying to say b/c the way you compose your sentences are all jacked up. But I think I catch your drift.

    Look...You have to read my other posts to fully comprehend why Hatton is the bigger man. It's not about physical demensions...like height, reach, ect.

    its about how one carries weight! You can tell ALOT about the natrual size of a person by their frame! Meaning the broadness of their shoulders, size of their hands/feet, how big their torso is.

    Hatton's frame is wider, shoulders broader and he's defiitley a bigger guy. Floyd may be taller but I know many people who are tall as hell their frame and build is jsut small. So they are natrually skinny...guys who are short and stocky or broad, may look smaller, but in reality they are just SHORTER! It's not that hard to grasp this concept, but it seems like it's just too advanced for some people....Tell me you are not one of them.:lol:

    Well I can't see how Hatton could be bigger than Floyd either. Hatton is just 5'6" and Floyd is 5'8" though Hatton may be walking around heavier than Floyd . . . we're talking of fighting weight here. Hatton's height and body frame is not suited for anything heavier than 140 as signified by his struggling performance against a mediocore 147 lber.
