    Just to be informative, draw your own conclusion as to how tough of a fight this will be...

    Regardless, the fight needs to happen...the undefeated yet overrated records of both demand it.
    Mike Tyson was almost always at a height/reach disadvantage. Fighters find a way to adapt their styles to the opponent.

      mayweather is small for a welter weight, but he is taller and has a much longer reach than hatton. so i would consider him the bigger man at fight night. what weight they get up to during inactivity is something different. anyway for someone to suggest it means ricky is the bigger man when he's 180 may be correct, do you really think thats gonna help him? infact it prob affects his body adversely. 5 foot 6 and 180 isnt good at all lol
      Hatton weighed more for his last fight (at 140) than PBF weighed for his fight (at 154).

      Hatton has had 43 fights at 140+. Floyd has had eight.

      Height/ reach isn't an accurate assessment of who's "bigger". Paul williams would be "bigger" than Mike Tyson and Diego Corrales would be "bigger" than Jeff Lacy.

        Its funny that Ricky Hatton has stated on numerous occasions that he feels he is the bigger man of the two. If I were you I wouldn't waste my time trying to use logic with the fools who like to argue about this ridiculous ****. No matter what you say or prove, they're still gonna believe what they want.
