    Is Mosley the third biggest fighter that Mayweather has faced?

    Behind Baldomir and Oscar.

    I guess some could argue that Corrales was a bigger man who didn't move up.

    Or maybe that Ricky Hatton is a more physical fighter on the inside.

    I guess the question would be if Mosley can make his physical strength a factor in the fight?

    My opinion.

    He'll try and fail.

    Hatton was out matched physically vs Floyd and smaller, but Floyd has been facing bigger guys the most of his career though.

    I think Corrales is probably the tallest he has ever faced

    Mosley will probably be the strongest

      You think Shane is stronger than a 154 Oscar or a Baldomir who weighed 174 on fight night?

        Maybe Oscar never struck me as a physically strong guy, just look at the way Mosley bossed Margarito in the clenches.. as for Mosley vs Baldo .. im not sure

          I just disagree every time someone says Floyd was bigger than Hatton.

            They both were the same size neither guy was bigger...

            Both were legit true WWs at the time.

            The difference one could still be effective at WW

            While the other one couldn't.

              Yeah. How did Floyd get bigger than Tzyu all of a sudden.

              Now you can probably say that they where fighting at a weight where Floyd was more used too.

              Hatton is the naturally bigger guy overall.

                i can see how you can say shane is the 3rd biggest guy to face floyd---i can agree with that some---i think oscar is 1st, or maybe baldomir at the time floyd faced them---floyd was 148 against oscar who was 165 fight night--or maybe a couple pounds less----coralles gained 9 pounds fight night---so did castillo----i think gatti packed on about a half dozen pounds fight night---tony pep was maybe a bit taller than chico when floyd fought him---shane imo is the strongest fighter floyd has fought at ww---not the biggest---maybe the 2nd biggest--baldmor was the biggest, no doubt---doesn't matter though---shane will be sloppy tonight right about round 4 if he makes it that far--you never know with floyd--he can wear you down early---or late---but in this fight, floyd will shock many of you with his aggression and punching power---he'll be the puncher at times in the fight and wear shane down mentally when he lands on him--shane'll be shocked---shane hits hard, we all know---but shane isn't an accurate puncher like floyd is---floyd will catch shane when shane doesn't expect it--just wait and see folks---i'll be watching, thinking i told you all so---it won't be a shocker to me at al---the only thing that might keep me in awe is another brilliant defensive move floyd makes---and i strongly believe floyd will fight shane in the pocket a few times in this fight, and catch him a whole lot while doing so----don't believe me? just wait and see---

                  Exactly that. Floyd's skills just translate to different weight divisions better than Ricky's does.

                  Hatton needs to be much bigger/stronger than his opponent.
