    I believe Hops also weighed less than Tito for their fight. And Tito had a very good fight at middleweight knocking out champion Joppy. Still, he could have proven himself more at that weight before going for the gold.

        cotto felt more comfortable fighting at 147 and so did margarito
        they were both in their natural weight classes it cant get any more fair
        i doubt hatton felt comfortable fighting at 147 thats why he no longer fights there
        You know Hatton beat Luis Collazo at WW and mayweather fight was his second fight at WW.

          Cmon that Collazo fight exposed the **** out of Hatton. He got his ass handed to him at the end, and I felt Collazo earned a tight decision. Mayweather is no natural welterweight, so I don't have a problem with him fighting at 147, he'd probably do the same thing at 140, but still that Collazo fight only proved that Hatton's dominance comes from babysitting a smaller division and ducking the real ****ers that could do him in.

              Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on the circumstances.

                  It depends on the fighters and their circumstances at the time really.

                    What you think Hopkins win over Tito. Did size play a factor in that fight and Tito come in more than Hopkins?

                      Size probably did play a factor in that fight, not as big as some might suggest because Trinidad had outgrown 154 but was probably a bit too small for 160, there was nowhere else for him to go anyway.
