Can someone explain to me how Hatton is "bigger" than Pacman?

[adobostreak]

technically they are both the same height, will be the same walk-in weight fight night... how is Hatton bigger? because he tends to eat a bunch of food and gets fat off-season?

[Komander]

NO, he's bigger because he will most likely rehydrate to 155+ on fight night.
Pacquiao only weighs 147 on fight night.

Simple, pacquiaos Fight Night weight 148 hattons 158, and hatton is a thicker guy.

He is a half a inch taller than pacquiao.

The only phiscicall category that Pacquiao is bigger is reach!!!!!!!

[ottoevans]

yeah i dont get that either

Roger said in 24/7 that Hatton should win cause hes soo much bigger than Hatton. I dont get it, Pacman is a tank

ok, my mistake. i assumed hatton was naturally 148, and at fight night

i just realized hatton's dehydrating almost 20lbs for the weigh in... i would assume that would take a lot out of him but obviously he's done this many times considering he's never lost @ 140

hatton has more mass then the pacman....and is physically a stronger guy if you compare there fights.....i think hatton may come in lighter than usually for this fight maybe 152-154....ad pac will come in 147-149....on the night of the oscar fight he weighed 149.

Hatton should come heavier not lighter, Coming lighter would be ******. thats the hole point of why he have a chance. If he where the same exact size as Pacquiao he gets ****d and badly.

PS. pacquiao weighted 148 fo the Oscar fight!!!!!!!!!!

Pacman is a tank

he is, just a small tank is all.

Pacquiao and Hatton are measured to be very close in height and wingspan.

Most of the other measurements (chest, things, biceps, wrist, forearm, etc...), at least from what I've read, Pac is supposed to have the edge.

Where Hatton is bigger is weight. He has a stocky frame, and rehydrates to a higher weight on fight night than Pacquiao does.

He also has been fighting at 140 for basically his whole career, while Pac has fought once above 135. Hatton's used to fighting bigger guys, in prize fights (Pac may spar with bigger fights, but it's different in the prize ring).
