The rules for Inappropriately Sized Weapons say: A creature can’t make optimum use of a weapon that isn’t properly sized for it. Acumulative –2 penalty applies on attack rolls for each size category of difference between the size of its intended wielder and the size of its actual wielder. If the creature isn’t proficient with the weapon, a –4 nonproficiency penalty also applies.
So, Can a human really wield a colossal great axe (8d6 damage), since it suffer a -8 penalty?
Seems ridiculous... but the Titan Mauler have the Massive Weapons in the UC, so, I just can imagine that is this, or the archetype need to be revisited...

You left off the other relevant portion.
"The measure of how much effort it takes to use a weapon (whether the weapon is designated as a light, one-handed, or two-handed weapon for a particular wielder) is altered by one step for each size category of difference between the wielder's size and the size of the creature for which the weapon was designed."
So large one-handed weapon is a two-handed weapon for a medium character; a huge one-handed weapon is off the chart (a step above two handed) and therefore unusable.
I'd even say you left off the key part of that rule, Krispy (though you do explain it) which is this:
If a weapon's designation would be changed to something other than light, one-handed, or two-handed by this alteration, the creature can't wield the weapon at all.

Thanks for covering for me :) I can't believe I left that off.
I'd allow it..
