    When your looking through a fans eyes you overlook the facts.

    No argument from me as far as ODLH goes, def weightdrained, I've argued that point many times, and put *******s firmly in their place courtesy of Roach's interview on youtube.

    Hatton I'm not too sure, that for me is more of a training camp **** up imo.

    Still doesn't change the fact that a LOT of people are always saying 'he's too small'. The little guy keeps proving them wrong.

    :nono I appreciate both Pac and PBF.
    Boxing critics and fans alike (just look at the posts on here pre fights) are always saying 'too small'.

    Holds no water with me anymore.

    Is Pacquiao a Welter?

    JMM 148lbs. - Floyd probably came in mid 150s on fight night
    PAC 148.5lbs. - Cotto comes in upper 150s, Mosley upper 150s

    :lol:

    People criticize Floyd for fighting small fighters.

    Uh, I believe that he's saying it doesn't matter what Cotto weighs, because the gameplan won't allow Cotto to use his weight advantage in the ring.

    Reading comprehension FTW!

    That's usually true when the little man can compansate with speed or endurance. But Floyd is a faster better fighter. He has the same Stamina as Pac but the size advantage will be to great to overcome a fight that isn't on even grounds for him to begin with. He knocked Hatton out easy which is super impressive but we will never know how much was skill and how much was luck(I'll stick with skill because of the track record). But we will never know and Hatton has absoloutly No defence.
