Bradley might be a bit over rated .. but if your saying T-Brad looking like **** in getting knocked down twice but winning (I honestly was a bit disappointed in Tim's performance as well) then what did Hatton look like vs Pacquiao?
Hatton's loss wasn't simply a loss. It was an embarrasement to be honest and he would have to put in a couple of big wins against top 10 ranked guys for him to justify to me that he's still one of the best in his division again. Such was his demise to Pac, it's difficult to see him beat somebody with genuine world class credentials. His ranking suffers accordingly. Bradley at number 2 is ok ish. Hatton, to my mind needs to be lower than he is on that list.
Why is that the line in the sand though? Hatton should be dropped lower than 2 because he was the number 1 and lost, not because of the quality of an arbitary number of wins.
:good been saying that from the start Hatton = number 1 = loss to pac = new number one because no rematch is needed.
I hope Pac destroys Floyd, it will reiterate the fact that although Hatton suffered a devastating loss, he lost to the greatest boxer of the last few decades.
