    Exactly. These guys win one big fight and everybody thinks they're the next Sugar Ray Leonard or something! :patsch This kid is very unproven. There is nothing to indicate he's even in Hatton's league.

    I think Bradley is dangerous dude both for Hatton and possibly pac, we still dont know how he would cope if hes pressed to the limits (reminds me of Berto and Diaz slightly but with better power). He looked very good recently but Im not yet fully sold on him.

    I think Bradley would be a fairly live dog, but he needs to beat a few more decent people first, and give Witter a return - before I will even think about him beating Hatton.

    Have you forgotten Hatton's last fight.....

    He made Malignaggi look silly.

    Paulie makes himself look silly. Paulie is a one handed fighter with no power and defensive deficiancies. Hatton fans shouldn't be fooled by that win. Bradley is a much better fighter than Malignaggi.

    I wasn't fooled by it at all, to be honest.

    I picked Hatton by wide UD/late stoppage, but wasn't expecting it to be so one-sided.

    For a supposed slickster he is remarkably easy to find - as was shown, especially in the 2nd round and from the 8th onwards.

    Hatton vs Bradley would be a good fight toward the back end of '09/early 2010 - he would have the WBC/WBO titles - the two that Hatton has yet to win, so good stuff.

    that fight was nowhere near as close as the SD suggested. bradley won it handily imo and i'm a witter fan.

    Tend to agree here, what I have seen of Bradley impresses me a lot. I can see him beating anyone at 140, Hatton included.

    Bradley's a dangerous fighter but I'd pick Hatton to do him any day, I doubt we will see the fight happen though as Bradley isn't a big enough draw and doesn't bring enough money to the table for a fight with Ricky.

    Hatton by UD if the fight was ever to happen.

    malignaggi was supposed to have this superior timing and movement to hatton and just look how the fight turned out, with hatton surprisingly being the better and faster man. what i'm trying to say is anyone can look good fighting the lower level comp like bradley is doing but going against Hatton is a different story.

    Bradley should be looking for a fight with malignaggi so we can better judge how good of a fighter he is.

    close fight with the edge slightly to Hatton but not by much.
