    Guys, pay no attention to this at all, it's from something called "Pacquiao video" and there is one stat that is so obviously wrong, it's not worth reading the rest.

    Hatton is listed as 5 foot 7.5"

    He is not, he is 5'6. He's been listed as 5'6 his whole career, that's his real height.

    When Manny fought Dela he did not look that small compared to a guy I would say is bigger than Hatton...

    Dudes go on about Manny as if he is some sort of midget.

    This is all because I said Hatton was a huge LTW? :kidcool:

    And of course, I was right...

    People read to much into the fact that Manny started his career as a flyweight


    Pac has obviously listened to his mother ate all his green and grown into a monster.

    The only way Pac makes flyweight these days...

    Not really, although I think I may have used your words "Big jr welterweight"...:crafty: you must have snapped a wire, but Im really further referring to what a large variety of people have said since Hatton's fight with Castillo,..which was "Hatton has been at 140 his entire career, so he obviously has the size advantage!!!", this opinion doubled up in his fight against Floyd too... this 'weigh in' system, allows Paul Williams to fight at welterweight,.. he's at the top, of a MOUNTAIN of examples some more subtle than others, i've been screaming about the subject for years.

    :lol: ... Ricky doesn't even have a height advantage either?

    :laughing: ..."Pacman's going for history!!!"...

    Pacman in reality is more like 5'5, to Ricky's LEGIT 5'6.

    They are both listed as 5'6, but for some reason Hatton is a real 5'6, and Pacman is a bit less than that.

    But because the heights are wrong, I'm imagining the rest of the stats are wrong too, I wouldn't believe any of this tale of the tape.

    From the pictures I've seen,.. Im not even sure about Hattons height advantage,... they look around about the same, give and take.

    It's hard to tell just from one photo, could be different footwear, hatton slouching etc. I think come fight time Hatton has a SLIGHT height advantage, but not much, like half an inch to an inch.

    Yeah thats why I said 'give and take'.. I was referring to a few photos I've seen and sometimes Hatton looks a little taller, sometimes Pacquiao,.. either way,.. not bad for a natural flyweight about to take on a big juniorwelterweight as it's been quoted.

    When your bodyfat is at this level, there is no advantage to having a smaller waist so that one is wrong.

    i was wondering about that too. what advantage is there to that?

    fist size is definitely a key advantage if that's a real stat, although Rosario had much bigger fists than Chavez did - go figure.

    I forgot to mention that actually, one more reason these "stats" are a joke.

    If HBO release a real tale of the tape, it'll be different to this.

    Marciano had tiny fists, and 13 inch guns like a natural flyweight too,..
