Why do Floyd Fans compare Hatton to Gatti ?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

just a little bit better

As a fighter, Gatti is C plus and Hatton is B or B minus.

So, Hatton is better than Gatti, but not by that much. There is a reason why Hatton has stayed away from any good , prime fighters.

When Floyd was coming up, they fed him Corrales, Manfredy and Castillo. They gave Hatton the Pendletons and oliveiras. There's a reason for that.

So one-dimensional in your logic. The only thing you're stating time and time again is that Mayweather has fought the better fighters.

True. But what does this have to do with fighting a big, strong welt 17 pounds above his initial weight class???

add light in that blank.

I've said it once, I've said it again. Hatton may have more power than Floyd, but Hatton does not have more power than De La Hoya, and Floyd survived that... so...

It's not the power i'm talking about. It's the fact that Hatton is naturally bigger and stronger.

Okay, what does being bigger and stronger get him other than power?

[Breakbeat]

Hatton will lose......

Mayweather will do a Gatti on him

If I have to explain that to you.....

[Fox McCloud]

If I have to explain that to you.....

Ummm. Yeah. You should.

Unless it is something like absorbtion of shots, but Oscar is bigger than Ricky and he didn't just "walk through" Mayweather's shots.

I must either be missing the obvious or you have come up with something that isn't often thought of... either way, I'm curious, tell me.

Ok, he's bigger stronger.

Can sap your energy by leaning on you.
Can initiate the clinch and power through with the clinch.
Can have an advantage when it comes to body positioning and how you posture up (box a guy 20 lbs above your weight and you'll see what i mean)

...i can go on and on.

Floyd just fought at 154 and has had 3 fights at 140.
He is also 5'8"

Hatton has only had 1 fight at 147.
He is 5'6"

Oscar was 166 on fight night against Floyd and he handled him effectivly.
Floyd spars with middleweights.

Size will not be a factor.
