Hatton was the tighter, higher-volume, harder hitting, and more physical inside fighter. Bradley's at his best out-speeding an opponent with 1-2's and counters from the outside, before jumping in with a body-head assault on the inside. Given Hatton's footspeed, I don't see Bradley outboxing him over 12, and I definitely don't see him winning the war of attrition up close either.
Hatton wins unless stopped on cuts Hatton's foodspeed was too great, his inside work was far far far better (ot sure how timmy has gotten the reputation of a brutal inside fighter) and he was very active and aggresive
Personally myself i think Bradley is a better all round fighter than Hatton ever was , but when Hatton was at his best he was very effective and gets slightly under rated for that period of his career If i was picking a winner id say Bradley in a tight scrappy wrestling match , but i do believe Hatton at his best he would test Bradley , that constant poring forward pressure would be difficult for anyone Tim Bradley included
Bradley would be too scared and refuse to fight Hatton. Although not saying he could never beat him, with the right fight plan ans and speed skills, Hatz was quite beatable.
I just think stylistically Bradley was an issue for Hatton , Hatton would have to work extremely hard to keep Bradley at bay , Bradley is very very strong and fit , and technically he's sound in every area , then there's that head of his !!! , that would cut Ricky wide open , without a doubt , Hatton on the outside was ok against B and C level , if he can't jab and work inside he's in trouble , Bradley's heart and chin is solid as a rock Im not sure how Hatton would fight him and beat him , i just don't see it
Hatton gets so underrated these days...... reading this forum you'd think he was a bum. I got Hatton over Bradley all damn day!!! He does much of what Bradley does but does it better and has great power for 140. Funny how 5 years ago Hatton was the most overated fighter on the forum and now he can barely get a fantasy match up win hahaha
Keep Bradley off him? As I said, he was the tighter, harder hitting, higher-volume, and higher volume inside fighter. He'd welcome the pressure gladly.
Bradley would **** Hatton up. Bradley can punch with both hands. Hatton was a one armed grabbing fighter. If anything, you're underrating Bradley.
Prime for prime? I'd take Hatton... Hatton would've ****ed your mum and left her rectum bloody my good man...
id take hatton in a close decision... bradley to become increasingly effective in the later rounds due to hattons face being bust up
Ugly fight, with Hatton using excessive clinching, roughing up Timmy. But Timmy headbutts Hatton into a bloddy mess. Hatton MD Timmy in a wrestling match.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A495Sr42kVw&feature=related[/ame] One armed fighter my ****ing eye! He had power in both hands. He's lost to two of the best fighters in recent times and he somehow fades into insignificance, It really wouldn't surprise me if most of the hate towards him comes from the american boxing fans that have only seen him lose.
