    His punch technique was awful, Hatton was a better body puncher and landed more.

    Says a lot about Bradley struggling with 40 year old Featherweights.

    Bradley has a better resume and he sweeps Hatton in the ring too. I can't believe so many people think Hatton beats Bradley.

    Bradley had the better wins and the better career overall, but regarding an actual H2H match up between the two in their prime it's close. Bradley wasn't unbeatable he was floored twice by Holt, Provodnikov, almost KO'ed by Vargas in the last round. And Hatton in his prime at 140 was a force to be reckoned with.

    I didn't like the jab and grab style of Ricky Hatton. His mauling style was ugly to watch most of the time. Timbo was more pleasing to watch.

    Hatton should’ve been Dq’d against Tszyu. That was a terrible hometown jobbing, not to mention Kostya was all but done

    Both fighters lost their most meaningful fights. Probably side w Hatton as his big wins (Kosta Tszu, Paulie, JLC, Urango, Collazo) were better than Bradley's (JMM, Devon, Abregu). Also, Bradley prolly shouldve lost Provodnikov fight as sitting on ropes is supposed to be a KD.

    Head to head I'd take Hatton also.

    Manny was one of the best fighters of Hatton`s generation, Bradley was naturally bigger than Hatton and Manny, P4P Manny was on another planet to Bradley and punched harder too.
