Nope, I was too busy wondering how a man who started off his career at light flyweight could look bigger than "a big and strong natural jr. welterweight" during the staredown.:huh
Too much unnecessary emphasis on Pac's career at the lower weights. When it's all said and done Pac is very comfortable around lightweight division-Jr. Welter.
Because people GROW as they get older, the AVERAGE man stops growing at 21-25. Because he started his career as a young Teen, and developed into a man like normal people.
Yeah he looked really stiff and bent backwards the whole time. Not sure what what up with that but it was like he couldn't stand-up straight. And as far as Hatton v Pacquiao size. Pacquiao has been fighting at lower wieghts for years, yes, but he has always had large dementions for those wieghts. Its probably why he was able to be so crude and overwhelm people with his aggression early on in his career. Because he held so many physical advantages (sound familiar). I posted somethign on one of the other threads that had the two fighters dementions and basically the long and short of it is that Ricky has a wider wiast and fists and nothing else. Manny has the larger forarms, wrists, legs (?!?), neck, and (this is the important one) chest. His chest is actually larger by 1 inch and has a much greater peak expantion volume. This could prove very advantagious in the fight as expantion measurements often have a lot to do with stamina.
i think the uk fans that were there was a little shocked that the big giant hatton, beast of 140 division, was not towering over manny like a midget.
