Besides height and reach how was Hatton smaller than Mayweather? He was heavier, stronger and started at a much higher weight class, not to mention that in his first fight at WW he weighed in at 160.
Height and reach, first and foremost. Second, Hatton was a career 140 man. Mayweather started at a lighter weight but was fighting at 147 when he fought Hatton. Honestly, I've never heard anyone argue that Hatton was a bigger man than Mayweather. It sure didn't look that way in the ring. And if that is the case, he must have been a goliath compared with Pacquiao.
Paul Williams has a significant reach & height advantage over Mike Tyson, who's the bigger man? I thought Hatton did look bigger than Mayweather in the ring, he certainly looked more muscled, the difference with the Pac fight was Hatton looked far more skeletal than usual on the scales the previous night & didn't look to have re-hydrated as well as he had after the PBF weigh-in.
