Pacquiao is slightly taller and has a bit longer reach than Hatton.
They are very close to the same size.
According to boxrec, Hatton is an inch taller.
Hatton. He naturally weights about 175. He is a bigger guy than Floyd as well.
Just because he weighs that much outside training doesnt mean thats his natural weight, he gets fat when not training. Would you say a 5'8, 350lb guy is at his natural weight?
hatton puts on ~20 lbs after weight in.
He only puts on 9 pounds or so. The only time he's really been above that was the Collazo fight where it was his first time at welterweight and put on too much weight overnight.
Hatton puts on alot of weight overnight from what I've heard on these forums. So he is probably bigger, but he would still get stopped by Manny in a one-sided fight. And if Hatton tried to be competitive with Manny, then Manny probably would have an early stoppage of hatton.
I also heard on these boards that Manny has ridiculously large hands, and that his hands were bigger then Oscars. If that is true, then his hands might even bee bigger the Hattons.
It depends on what we classify as "bigger" imo because in height and reach, they are pretty close. Outside of fighting, Hatton obviously outweighs him. Pacquiao rehydrates to about 145-148 when fighting above 130, Hatton comes in at 149ish at 140. For 147, he came in at 154 for Floyd and 161 for Collazo.
I'd say they are almost the same, but maybe Hatton is bigger. Like Floyd-Pacquiao, the size doesn't matter imo. Maybe more so in this fight because Hatton likes to impose his size.
Hatton.. a brief jump to welterweight from lightweight isn't going to make Pacquiao bigger than a strong man who's been at jr. welterweight for the majority of his career.
