    Hatton would beat up Bradley in my opinion.

    I think I had it 7-5 to Bradley. I remember cheering him on, but expected Witter to get the nod, as it was close.

    is he the #1 contender? that's yet to be decided., he's only beaten 1 fighter in witter, there's a few fights got to happen yet, before there's a clear #1 contender.

    it is rumored that bradley is demanding 10% of the purse saying he brings in at least 947 ppv numbers and 138 paying fans v a fight v hatton.

    hatton is demanding 95% and free beer and mcdonalds for the next 5 years.

    arum has said yes to the 95% of the purse,but said that free beer and mcdonald`s for 5 years for ricky hatton would bankrupt him.

    Hatton fans had no problem touting Malignaggi as the no.1 contender when his best win was a close decision against Herman Ngoudjo.

    I dont see why not. He gave PBF a hell of a fight and PBF was very adaptable, so he managed to get Hatton later on. I think hatton KO's Bradley in a tough fight. Wouldnt be surprised though if Bradley wins, never know which Hatton is gonna turn up. He looked **** against Lazcano.

    Bradley has only ever fought two guys ranked in the top 50 at JWW.

    Well, he's still a young guy. Every great fighter was young and inexperienced at one point in time. To say that he's shown nothing to contend with the best is not fair. One look at him fighting and it's obvious the guy has the goods.

    Yes, Hatton by TKO.
    I think Ricky can take Bradley.
    (fan of both, But I'd pick Hatton)

    This is the point. He "looked ****" but still laid a shut out beatdown on a guy who is better than all but one fighter that Bradley has ever faced. I simply need to see Bradley in with a higher level of competition before making any firm judgement on this one. Holt would be a good start.

    :patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch He's quite happy facing four top 10 p4p fighters including two fighters ranked #1 but hasn't got the balls to face an unproven 20 fight novice? Go to bed, it's past your time!

    He is a skilled fighter but has done and shown nothing to make him a favourite against Hatton at this point in time.
