    What a mess this would be.

    Who pulls out the W and how?

    I would have to give this to Hatton.

    Pryor was no Mayweather, and Hatton gave him all he could handle. I think Hatton Mauls the great Mauler, and wears the Hawk down.

    Both are bloody messes, but the naturally bigger man will take this.

    I think it is funny that I favor Hatton in all kinds of match ups... so I appreciate you picking him and wished I could join you.

    For me Aaron wears him out over the last 4 after a tough exciting 8 rounds. If this goes 15 Hatton does not make the final bell

    We would see an Aaron Pryor version of a Mortal Kombat "Finish him!" ending.

    Just when I thought I had heard it all.... now I've heard someone say that Ricky Hatton could beat Aaron Pryor... LMAO!

    Pryor gives Hatton a terrible beating and stops him in 8-9 rounds.

    Totally different leagues here.

    Pryor wins by a late round stoppage. But I don't see it being a walk over. Hatton would make Aaron work for it .

    Agreed. I dont dislike Hatton but I just dont see him beating Pryor. Both in their primes, I definitely favor the latter

    I think Hatton would give a good account of himself in a losing effort. He's better than Pryor's challengers excepting Alexis i think.

    Levels.

    Hatton's chances are not serious.

    hard to go against Pryor. A great fight would have been Duran vs. Pryor at 140.. Why Duran overlooked that weight i am not sure..

    Pryor’s a notch above, I’d have to favour him over Ricky here.
    Having said that I don’t think it would be the foregone conclusion that some on here think.

    Pryor easily, Hatton is BADLY overrated because of his likeable personality and character.

    Castillo and tszyu we're too old to pull the trigger. A good puncher who can pull the trigger before he gets inside beats him.
