    I doubt Hatton sees them as disadvantages either, hes unbeaten with the tools he has, I am simply saying that if he had those, as Im saying, disadvantages erased, would his chances be MUCH better? I still think he has a chance, he has to get on the inside and stay there, easier said than done against a master-boxer like Mayweather, but like I say, if he wasnt so short, had a better reach, would people be saying, "Yeah, he has a great chance" rather than "He has a chance" (Or as you might say, "He has no chance anyway!"

    Just watched again the other day, what do you guys think? Was one of the main mistakes Tszyu was making vs Hatton was constantly going straight back when Ricky charged allowing himself to be driven into the ropes? As I was watching I couldn't help but wonder why Tszyu was not going more side to side, and would it have helped?? I know it's off subject a little but what do you guys think??

    Its a hypothetical Question, please dont let me see you engage in any theoretical matchups on here, I will be bringing this point up then!

    If he doesn't see them as disadvantages, then why would he want his arms longer or to be taller?

    This just doesn't make any sense.

    This is different from theoretical matchups. You're asking what would happen if he had longer arms and was taller.

    Either way, we are all making a judgement call based on opinion, therefore they are not so different! did you actually answer the original question, or is it that time of the month for you? Its like arguing with my girlfriend!:D
