If Mayweather fought Hatton at 140. Who would you consider the bigger man??

It's not just reach, look at the Floyd/Ricky stare down and Floyd is visibly bigger. Pac will never be a natural WW and neither will Hatton and Hatton is visibly bigger then Pac. Floyd having a naturally bigger body is a natural at WW who was able to grow into it from a lighter weight.

Mayweather didn't look bigger come fight night. Hatton was clearly bigger by 10 pounds at least

Mayweather grew into a WW?? How is that so??

When he weighs bloody 148 fight night. Hatton at Jr WW outweighs Mayweather at WW. Does that mean Hatton as well is a WW now

Here is a picture of Ricky Hatton when he was younger. He clearly could have fought at 130 if he had better eating and drinking habits. Do you honestly think this is a picture of a "natural" WW?

I'm guessing you're trying to disprove the notion that Mayweather was the bigger man when they fought at 147. I agree with you, Hatton is the naturally bigger man. However, does that mean that Hatton should fight at 147 better than Floyd? No. Some guys are just better at certain weights than others, even if it's not their natural weight or the other guy is "bigger". Ricky Hatton has shown that he is better off fighting at 140 than 147. Maybe because he relies on being physical and wearing down his opponent, whereas Floyd's strengths are based on speed and skill.

Hatton can fight and beat good fighters at WW, but he'll never be a natural there. Some fighters grow into a higher weight class slowly, that's natural. There is nothing natural about Ricky eating and drinking so much that he has gained close to 50 lbs. between some fights. Floyd had better discipline gaining weight and did it right, it also helped that he has a WW frame.

Mayweather is bigger than Hatton...

That doesn’t change the fact a lean/ripped Hatton will always outweigh a lean/ripped Mayweather

I guess Pacman is bigger than Hatton. Taller, bigger cheat and longer reach

How old was Ricky Hatton in that picture.

I'm not sure exactly, but I'd guess around 18-20. He was 22 I think when he won the WBU title and this was before then.
