    No, Hatton is not a WW. However, Floyd is a very small WW. How many WW's walk around at 147? There have been plenty of posts about how Hatton was just too small. That clearly wasn't the case in this fight. It's common sense, I have no idea why alot of people on this board don't seem to get it.

    Well, I definately wouldn't count him out against any of those.. And of course Hatton isn't as skilled as Mayweather. That's not the point. Floyd looked fine fighting @ 154 as well. How do you think Hatton would look then? Body type is a huge factor when moving up in weight.

    Another question. If Hatton walking around at 180lbs makes him naturally bigger than Mayweather, then why after loosing the weight did he not look bigger than Mayweather.

    De La Hoya started at 130lbs, yet fought Trinidad at welterweight. Don't even tell me when they shared a ring that Trinidad was a much bigger guy. I rest my case.

    Of course Skill helps a fighter when moving up. I never saids it didn't. What I am saying is, it's NOT only skill that allows a fighter to move up successfully. Having the type of body that allows you to move up is a plus as well.

    NO...no..no dumb ass wrong again...if he was in shape...he would weight 150-155 pounds you dumb ignorant moron...when he steps on the scale at the weigh in to make 140..he is dehyrdated and drained and rehydrates and steps in the ring at his fighting weight of at least 150...that being said...if two guys have the same mass and one guy may have a larger torso and the other larger legs..you are telling me one is bigger though they are the same weight....lol....then if thats the case...You dumb idiot with the brain of a kindergardner.... why dont they just look at the fighters before the fight instead of using a scale to balance the WHOLE ****ING SPORT.:lol::lol::lol:

    Mayweather walks around at 150lbs, Hatton 180lbs. In your eyes Hatton is the bigger man. Tell me why Mayweather was naturally bigger when they shared a ring?.

    Ive explained it and will until I'm blue in the face. Hatton blows up between fights, Mayweather doesn't. Two different lifestyles. The bottom line is Mayweather is naturally bigger, and your thick little brain doesn't understand. Mayweather carries the weight better, why?. Because he's naturally bigger.

    Your a laughable little teenager.

    Come on now. If they fought @ 140 the same damn thing would have happened. I was rooting for Hatton but reading this stuff about Hatton being too small is really getting old, and somewhat embarrassing. Lot's of smaller guys have beaten big guys in the ring, Tyson made a habit of it early on.

    Weight is deceiving. It has little to do with how "big" someone is. What you guys are basically arguing about is FRAME size. Example is someone like Jermain Taylor: The guy's got a MASSIVE frame, biggest middleweight I've ever seen. I still think he's bigger than Pavlik (although he gives up a little height). Look at his shoulders. A wrist measurement is also a good indicator of frame size.

    So anyways, who has a bigger frame, Ricky or PBF? I can't say, I think they're basically the same size, although Floyd's a little taller. And this is basically why I've been claiming since before the fight that the weight they fight at wouldn't be a factor.

    Floyd weighed 148 lbs. in that fight. He's been talking about fighting DLH at 154 since he was fighting at 135. The reason he looked fine at that weight was because of his sill level. Sweet Pea was smaller than Hatton and he won a title at 154 too. Fact of the matter is, there are two types of fighters who can effectively move up in weight, guys who can sweat themselves down to an unaturally small weight(Herns, DLH), and highly talented fighters whose skillset negate any disadvantages caused by weight(Floyd, Sweet Pea, Roy Jones)

    Cintron is not worth feeding.
    Cotto is in a class of his own, which will soon be proven!

    Wheras Hatton is a scrictly one dimensional fighter, PBF has the ability to adapt to anyone's style. In addition, he is able to step up a gear when necessary.

    it wasnt floyds wieght advantage at 147 that lost ricky the fight ...imo nuff said

    yes floyd looks better at that weight but he looked just as amazing at 140....didnt he?

    Yes. Floyd at 140, the version that beat Gatti that is, would have done the same job on Hatton as floyd at 147.

    Hatton was getting pepperd all night by a better boxer...and wieght had nothing to do with a perfectly timed and executed left hook that Ricky "at any ****ing weight Hatton" walked straight into...
