I don't think Hatton is the bigger man. Look at their tale of the tape measurements, and they're equal almost across the board. However, Mayweather does have a seven inch reach advantage. So they're physically the same size, except Mayweather has a huge reach advantage, and then you factor in the enormous gap in hand/foot speed.
It all adds up to a wipeout victory for Mayweather.
Mayweather has enjoyed a reach advantage over every opponent he has faced. and a ring size advantage 24- 26 foot. If you give Mayweather that kind of real estate to work with then he is going to make anyone look like a club fighter. Gotta shorten that ring size to 16 -18 foot and then ole Floyd would have his work cut out vs Hatton . The key is to get Mayweather in a standard size ring ,
