Hatton (prime) v Bradley (current)

Bit of an argument going on in another thread on this so thought i would put up a poll to get everyones opinion on this.
Let me know what you voted for and why

 

This would be a very good and close fight.
I'll say Ricky pulls it outta there on experience... close UD

 

When did Hatton's prime end?

 

Beats me. The ni99a just got knocked out.

 

S'pose it's a matter of opinion but i would say Hatton was at his best from 2003-2006.

 

The Hatton that beat Tszyu would dominate the Bradley that beat Alexander.

 

so, you mean, before he lost.

 

The Hatton of the Kosta fight, is what many of his fans consider to be his absolute prime.

And I take Bradley to win. He just has more dimensions to his game. He's big enough and tough enough to not get bullied by Hatton, and he's smart enough to make him pay for his defensive lapses.

 

No... i'm saying prior to his Urango, Castillo wins after he took a WW fight against Collazo at late notice and ****ed his weight up... that on top of years of having to cut down weight dramatically to get into fight trim didn't help him any.

It's quite easy to gauge... Prime Hatton was known as a vicious whirlwind that relentlessly stayed in your face throwing punches for 12 rounds non stop. Post prime Hatton got visibly tired in 2nd half of fights and started clinching a lot, upper body movement stopped ect...

 

I honestly don't think there was that much of a difference between the Hatton that fought Kosta and the Hatton that fought Collazo and Mayweather.

The latter was just against people who just refused to let him bully them and made him pay for his deficiencies.

 

with Hatton's coming foward pressure style he would be headbutted to smithereens therfore fustrating him enough to let Bradley win a couple rounds before it is stopped for cutts from ACCIDENTAL head butts...Bradley SD

 

Stepped up in weight got beat by a better fighter, gave Mayweather a tougher fight than JMM or Mosley nothing to be ashamed of there.
Just wasn't the same after that fight could have been a coincidence that his hard living caught up with him but he definitely was not the same fighter post floyd.

My Pick Hatton by a wide decision 118-110 sort of area cuts could be an issue however.

 

It's actually quite hard to gauge. He was also vicious whirlwind against Mayweather and Pacquiao. It just so happens he was knocked out in those fights.

 

Hatton's bigger and stronger in every way and Bradley would not be able to hurt him longer than a temporary stun from a well placed punch. I'm pretty sure of that. But until we see the Pacquiao fight maybe we don't really know who Bradley is and what he's capable of doing with his skills. Right now I go with Hatton.

 

any version of hatton vs any version of bradly give me bradly. people need to watch his early fights. or watch him beat the **** out of berto in the ams. bradly would beat the **** out of hatton.
