To dispute the ******ed notion that Floyd all of a sudden if by miracle is bigger....

what?

 

Wrong.

 

He was a small Lightweight with Jesus Chavez being smaller? That was at 130 chief. At LW he only had 4 fights, so it's not like he had a lot to measure up against. N'Dou was freakishly tall, moreso than most he fought.

Watch the Gatti fight, no doubt in my mind Floyd was the bigger man.

A small Jr. Lightweight? Compared to tall guys like Hernandez and Pep, but he was a damn good size compared to everyone else.

He is not a big WW by any means, but he did fit the weight better than Hatton, and was taller than Hatton as well, also weighed in higher. Watch the two, Hatton has a bigger head, that is it.

Floyd has increased his mass as he has moved up to fit the weights perfectly, unlike a lot of other fighters. He has fit every weight damn near perfectly, other than 154, but that was a one fight thing.

Based on watching them fight, I'd say Floyd was the same size as Hatton, but fit WW a bit better.

All this is pointless though, as Floyd is a better fighter than Hatton regardless of size.

 

Sweet Pea, good to see you back!

 

Took ya long enough to acknowledge me!

Good to be back man.

 

OK, he still looked the same size as Hatton, at least the same size as Gatti, and was a very good sized 130 pounder. And again, it's about how he carries the weight.

At 135, meh, you may be right, he seemed to face some big n's.

 

Geez, open your eyes.

I was happy to see Hatton bouncing off the turnbuckle, but that doesn't change the fact that Mayweather was clearly the bigger fighter.

Visibly bigger by the way. It looked like Gatti Gamache.

 

If Hatton was a natural Light Welterweight, Mayweather was a natural Junior Lightweight.

 

Pbf bigger than Hatton. End of story.

 

So, you think that PBF could still make 130lbs? If you do you're either lying or a total moron. Basically he's naturally grown into the 140lb weight class. All the other weight is due to extra muscle.

 

As this point in his career, Floyd is a decent-sized welterweight. I thought he was a really small welterweight before but he seems to have filled out to the point where he's decent-sized at 147.

Just because he started out lighter than Hatton, it doesn't mean he's smaller at this point.

Ricky Hatton started out at a higher weight than Ray Robinson and Oscar De La Hoya. De La Hoya started out at roughly the same size as Mayweather, but Mayweather is not as big as De La Hoya physically.

Oh yeah, one more thing. The modern day weigh-in procedures have made a mockery out of weight classes.
