    Could Hatton beat Bradley? Nope. Bradley is too strong, too skilled, too good of a chin, too quick, and too young for Ricky. Ricky can still be touched and he has a weak chin, as evidenced by Lazcano.

    That's the problem with the sport, the biggest challenges don't always bring in the most money.

    Are you serious? Are you really telling me Malignaggi was a risky fight? Certainly this has nothing to do with Paulie's actual talent and skillset. Paulie posed no threat to Hatton

    I'd actually agree with this, Collazo was a risky fight. However, I suspect team Hatton didn't know how good Collazo was. Much respect regardless.

    I'm not begrudiging anyone. However, most people would glady step into that ring for the amount of money Hatton is getting paid. There's probably 170 lb. men with no pro experience that would fight Wlad for 8 figures.

    Yeah, Bradley fights a similiar style to PBF. Not as good but he can fight off the back foot and counter effectively. He could possibly catch Hatton coming in regularly if he isn't careful. But with Roger Mayweather training him, he might've become more careful. If not, i would favor Bradley. He's got the slickness and hand speed. Paulie Malig was someone who i mistakenly labeled as slick but he's really not. He's a pretty basic fighter.

    Who said I Hate anyone? Just because I don't like the three stooges, being Hatton, Haye and Froch does not mean I dislike all British fighters. Quit being an uptight crybaby. Anyway, not liking them has nothing to do with how I judge their boxing ability, but I firmly believe all three get KO'd this year.

    "A weak chin"?:lol: Jeez, a guy has 44 pro fights and gets wobbled a couple of times on the way to recording a 43-1 record and staying unbeaten at his natural weight and he's got a "weak chin".

    Laughable.:patsch

    lol every thread you make is bashing a british fighter, it seems to be more about nationality than actual fighters, i wondered why.

    example "Which UK fighter do you most want to see KTFO this year?" http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116822

    Yeah, well that thread my look like I was hating on the Brits, I give you that, but it was more or less for humor and I stated I thought it would still be funny even if I had used all American fighters, so just STFU.

    Hatton is the man at 140. I dont see anyone beating him at the weight other than PBF should he be inclined to boil down. And I say that including Bradley, Pacquiao et al...

    Considering Bradley has next to zero marketability he would have to fight with Hatton having all the advantages so 'even' if he was anywhere near Hatton in term of ability and managed to somehow win the lottery and get Hatton in the ring he would still lose relatively easily.

    Yeah he was wobbled and if the fight was in the US would have lost to a lightweight coming of a long layoff. Yes, Hatton has a weak chin, that is clearly seen.
