    I’m not sure Bradley is more popular in US than Hatton. Bradley might be more known
    but he certainly is not more liked.

    I’d pick Bradley to win, but it would be an ugly fight too watch. Never enjoyed watching hatton fight except maybe for the atmosphere of his fights.

    Had I to choose, I'd rather choose to have hatton's career than bradley's.

    Gotta go Ricky Hatton.
    He is still loved & respected by all his country men …”TO THIS DAY!” (Barked like Deontay Wilder)

    Nobody’s checking for Timbo… nobody.

    Bradley wasn`t a big name in the US.

    You are entitled to your opinion but I totally disagree. Hatton's only claim to fame over here is being the man who got knocked out by Mayweather and Pac. That's it. Never seen him on a sports program or nothing else. He is a British commodity, bottom line.

    Not only was he, he still is. He is respected and liked as well as not liked. He is well known. That's why he's commentating.

    Bradley probably achieved a bit more on paper, cause of carefully selected fights and that robbery decision over Pacqauio, and getting out at the right time. And he might have won at 147 cause Hatton never looked as effective up there.

    But head to head at 140 in their primes it's not even up for debate. Hatton was a ****ing beast in his prime at 140. The Hatton that beat Tszyu and Castillo beats Bradley every day of the week. Ability wise he was a level above Bradley.

    You have no way of knowing that. Not one person Hatton beat at 140 Bradley couldn't.

    What percentage of sports fans in the US know who Bradley is?

    He knows boxing and is articulate. Who would you rather have Foreman and Larry Merchant's drunk ass back?
