Ricky Hatton vs Timothy Bradley

[hookoutofhell]

With Mayweather sr helps Hatton ha improved so much. He outboxed a boxer, that speaks volume. Would be a awesome I got Hatton by SD. This fight is not going to happen

i think mayweather snr has improved hatton but hatton has always had that boxing ability there in his locker. mayweather just showed him to put it to good use.

but bradley would be a touh fight for hatton the guy is a potenital superstar in the making and a fighter that i really like to watch. hes not quick but he can beat hatton to the punch, hes not that powerful but he'll give hatton enough to keep him off and make him think twice, the kid is one tough cookie.

he has a very bright future, but at the minute i think hatton has enough to get the SD.

You don't know how much I agree with you with the post highlighted. Hatton always had the tools, Mayweather sr taught Hatton how to use them

Going by what you say Bradley should batter him lol.

no that tells you he would outclass him

Magee,Lazcano all hurt Hatton you dont think Bradley could hurt him

Hatton still left himself open against Paulie

[Davros?]

It would be a tough fight, its 50/50.

[MANGLER]

Hatton would tear thru Bradley.

No i dont think Bradley would hurt him.

I agree it would be a tough fight but i think Hatton would pull it off.

I'd pick Hatton and there is no reason to doubt that.

I agree it would be a tough fight but i think Hatton would pull it off.

so you dont think Bradley hits as hard as a non punching blown up lightweight Lazcano

how many times has Witter visited the canvas?not many but Bradley had him over

i know where to come when or if the fight is signed then

Bradley is an overrated paper champ

Maybe. We have no idea whether he is overrated, or not. But the fact is he has fought nobody (FFS, Junior Witter?), so we just don't know. The odds are, just as with any up-and-coming fighter, 'champion' or not, he will fall at the final hurdle when he comes up against an elite fighter which, however much the haters may deny it, Hatton certainly is. Just like Lacy did. Just like Pavlik did. Just like Malignaggi did. And just like Chad Dawson may well do if Calzaghe gives him the chance... although his wins over an aging Tarver and Johnson give him a little more credibility.

Sure, some may think Bradley will beat Hatton.. such amateur punditry is what boards like this are about. But it's hot air and wishful thinking, no more. I'm amazed anybody has the balls to play the "clash of styles" card after last night.. when the difference in class is that great (and remember, most of those now dredging up Bradley as the next great hope were claiming Paulie was favorite) 'style' doesn't matter a damn.

Bradley is several fights away from even having a decent claim to be in the same ring as Hatton, by which time Hatton probably will have retired. If Bradley proves himself as a real top p4p contender good luck to him, but he'll have to do it against somebody else. Ricky just has no reason to fight him, his profile doesn't seem huge in the US and it's non-existent in the UK. Hatton will get no credit for beating him. DLH, though... different world completely both in kudos and cash.

Hatton is the King at 140....he is a top p4p fighter

Bradley is an overrated paper champ

I am obviously gonna pick Hatton, he is clearly the superior fighter

lol you make me laugh alot, yeah i would pick hatton aswell but bradley is not a paper champ. He beat witter then cherry so its not a bad couple of wins, also he's very skilled and a very good athlete.
I'd still take hatton though.
