How so? Hatton was a naturally bigger guy than Floyd, and the unified champ at 140 when he faced Floyd.

Juan Manuel Marquez would have looked a lot better against any other WW, sure he may have been stopped, but the fight would have been way more competitive. Floyd was an inch or two taller and 4 pounds heavier, the rest was all skill level and speed difference, and thats saying something against one of the most skilled fighters in the sport.
Bigger? Really? Hatton was at a big reach disadvantage and was three inches shorter. And that would all be fine and dandy but Hatton was the unified champion at 140 and the fight was at 147, a weight in which Hatton had proved to be lackluster at best.
