    Hatton was a very entertaining fighter who truly gave his all in every fight. I think the fact that he partied andgained so much weight in between fights probably didn't help his career, but as many have said eh only lost to top fighters . A fight at 140 vs Cotto would have been great to watch.

    Witter had a very awkward style and could bang but had a fairly low workrate. I see Hatton in his face for 12 rounds and winning a decision

    Bradley vs Shitter was by far one of the worst fights id ever seen

    Thing with Witter is his power got way overrated after he went on the that streak on KOing 14 euro level fighters. Untill hatton went to 147 his chin was granite and while Witter would make it awkward with his stance and shot selection his work rate wasnt fantastic and he liked to pose a bit he wouldnt get that chance V hatton who was probably a bigger puncher than anyone Witter ever faceced. Would have been a great clash of styles as they both "wrong" for each other but Hatton faced better competion and beat all but the elite. Hatton by late KO

    He also wasnt too comfortable with bradleys pressure and 2bh, Bradley coudlnt hold a candle to Hattons arse.

    Hatton woudl beat Shitter pillar to post. Thats exactly why Ricky never bothered with the guy. Witter bought NOTHING to the table.

    Maidana gets beat by Ricky

    Khan's reach and jab dissects Ricky

    Bradley beats ricky easily ... He's smarter, faster, just as strong, movesvery well and has decent defense)

    I don't know, Judah probaly gets him early with speed but Ricky makes it a close fight

    JMM gives him the schooling of a lifetime

    Peterson would be the best match up .. to strong fighters who love to fight on the inside

    haha lets use logic here you douche.

    Hatton left to body dropped castillo and khans left to body dropped madaina

    therefore, hatton bodyshots + madaina's resistance = goodnight vienna

    I always liked Ricky and I think he gets a bad rep on ESB from the keyboard warriors.

    I agree with Azzer, only guy out there who would beat Ricky at 140 is Marquez.

    Marquez is a mechanic and could disassemble Ricky's offense.

    I'd favor a prime Hatton over everyone currently at 140...

    Your an idiot. Prime zab would beat Ricky but this current version?. You even said earlier that if Khan can hurt Maidana to the body then Ricky would stop him. Yet when Khan stops zab to the body Ricky wouldn't be able to? Where the **** is your logic. I fail to see how zab 'throw 10 punches a round' Judah has any chance beating someone with a great inside game and stamina as Ricky does.

    Nice to see Hatton get some respect.

    Black Brenny and me had to argue against almost this whole damn forum that Hatton would beat Khan at one point.

    Guys here jumping on and off of bandwaggons? Never...
