    Then you my friend have not seen a prime Ricky Hatton.

    Prime Ricky Hatton was being outworked by nobody

    I'm not defending him for that, I'm a huge Junior Witter fan (speaking of which, I've just woke up and I had a dream about meeting Junior Witter :lol:) but that doesn't change the fact what he did to his competition at domestic level. Witter was all wrong for him.

    Think that works both ways mate. Bradley proved that you can get to Witter on the inside and outwork him quite easily.

    LOVE HATTON! what a warrior, i agree people see him fight mayweather and pac and judge him on those performances exclusively. 140 hatton had a great chin and was a beast, loved his body shots and tenacity!!! He walked thru Kosta's punches all night...

    Ricky Hatton in an atg and the true people's champion.

    Can you name any fighter that can generate the kind of atmosphere Ricky did on fight nights?

    I was thinking more of a prime zab
    the current version wouldn't be able to stop hatton - its a hypothetical question all round

    RJJ ATG and P4P number for dam near a decade in his prime. Ricky who? Rookie. Learn some boxing. Then we'll talk.

    Very true. Stylistically Witter would have been terrible for Hatton. Hatton knew thishence why he reneged on the bout numerous times, despite making verbal commitments publicly, and likewise so did Frank.

    The only one I can think of that maybe win over Hatton is Timothy.

    Junior Witter is a disgraceful ducker with a terrible-to-watch clinching style. He's not even a B level fighter.

    Hatton - Bradley would've been a war..
