    In his prime Hatton at 140 wins decision. Think a lot of folk forget that at the time Hatton was a beast and was a tough fight for anyone.

    Deadly serious, Gaz, you daft ****

    You will expose my mum, ok :nut

    Bradley can fight, has a good chin, he can box, knows how to move laterally and knows how to counter punch, and he has a much longer reach than Hatton.

    All Hatton knew is come forward, rely and pressure, and throwing big looping right hands. Completely 1 dimensional fighter if i have ever seen one. I stand by my claim

    Why is it so hard for some Brit fans like to accept when a british fighter gets criticized, grow a pair you mug

    All the above is irrelevant....

    All you need to know is Hatton would beat Bradley convincingly just as manny did : )

    Hatton wins at 140lb
    Bradley wins at 147lb

    Both on points

    Gotta be at 140 to give Hatton a chance but people forget Bradley hasn't had it all his own way to the top and struggled with far lesser fighters than the hitman.

    I reckon at 140 at his very best he would have pulled it off in a very ugly fight.

    To beat Hatton you need to be either really accurate or hit really hard. Bradley is pretty accurate and has OK power.

    I think Collazo beats Bradley.

    Ricky Hatton is a shot fighter. He was a shot fighter when he clearly got beaten by Luis collazo, and he was a shot fighter two years ago when he came out of retirement to face Senchenko.

    Superb fight. Close one too. But I think Bradley takes it.

    Same here I’d go with Bradley, I think he has a better skill set.... Hatton to me was very one dimensional and predictable
