    So that he was to small **** needs to stop.The size differental had little to do with htis fight. Skills had evrything to do with the result.
    Once again, pure ignorance. When people talk about size, the relevant factor is reach.

    Ricky Hatton was at close to a 10 inch reach disadvantage. Compare that to Floyd's 1 inch disadvantage against Oscar. Not to mention, moving up in weight is much harder for pressure fighters than slick boxers. The pressure fighter has to push increasingly bigger men around the ring, the slick boxer only has to deal with the increased power and reach.

            No, he was collecting 20 million dollars. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?

              uh reach had nothing to do with the majoirty of mayweathers punches being landed on the inside. Its not like he boxed him from the outside the whole fight. He kicked his ass inside and out.

                  Don't need a reach advantage when Ricky charges right into your punches.

                  And surely the reach advantage was not 10 inches. 6 at most.

                    So now hatton knew he was to small and really ha dno chance but he did it anyway for the money. So all that **** about him having a good chance and oh hes gonna kick mayweathers ass was a hoax?

                    Were u the only person who knew this?

                      Getting paid as much as his entire career and testing himself against the PFP#1 fighter.

                      Hatton has fought twice at 147 (Collazo, Mayweather) and looked bad both times. Ricky is just too small to fight at Welter.

                      That being said, Floyd could easily get to 140 and I don't see Hatton doing much better than he did even at his ideal weight. Floyd is just better and the only way Hatton beats him is with a lucky punch at either weight.
