    Why was Castillo not "too big" for Hatton but Floyd was? Castillo is a bigger man than Floyd is.

    The difference wasn't size it was definitely in the speed department.

      Hatton and Graham said it.

      Ricky said that Floyd felt big and... "while I don't think he's the biggest welterweight, he felt big and strong and I think he's more natural than me at that weight."

        Show me the quote that says "Floyd was too big."

        Good luck.

          Castillo is smaller than Floyd. Floyds upper half is thicker than Castillo. Also dont forget , Castillo was a shot fighter with nothing left in the fuel tank when he fought Ricky.

            Castillo has been 147 on fight night for AT LEAST six years now. JLC has had as many WW bouts as Floyd has. They are roughly the same height and reach, but JLC has been heavier for much longer.

              Hatton has never said Mayweather was too big. Graham said he is better at light-welterweight. It would be a bit like Castillo saying he is better at lightweight - an entirely accurate statement.

                "He felt big and strong. He's not the biggest welterweight ever, but I felt the difference. The gameplan made sense but I wasn't quite good enough to apply it tonight."



                "He's more natural at the weight than me and it showed at times"

                Guts, determination and a partisan crowd were insufficient against the quality of a champion who gave a masterclass in boxing, writes Richard Williams

                  But FMJ is ALSO better at 140 than he is at 147. Wouldn't that be an accurate statement as well?

                    I knew those were the quotes you would pull. Can you not read or something? Nowhere does he say he was too big. Not once.
