A victory over which of these opponents -now- would add the most to Hatton legacy?

A victory over which of these opponents - now - at 140 or a weight around that (obviously Oscar may be an exception), would add the most to Hatton's future legacy?

 

Shite, I meant to include Witter... nominate him if you like.

 

Bradley and Marquez are the most accomplished and actually close to their prime so it would have to be one of them. And yes they definitely add something to his legacy, Hatton hasn't got that many great wins that he could sniff at having one of these men on his ledger.

 

Bradley looks a solid fighter and the best at 140. The rest all have question marks hanging over them that would be magnified if Hatton was to beat them. A win over Bradley would have to be given credit as a very good win with no "ifs or buts" that would accompany wins over Kahn, Valero, Maidana, Oscar etc.

 

Tim Bradley for me, never really rated him and was waiting for him to come unstuck in the near future, but I thought he looked brilliant against Peterson and if Hatton could beat him it would be a very credible win.

 

That's what we should call 'ESB revisionism.'

 

I would say marquez.

 

Yup, but its a fine line between revisionism and merely looking back when in full possession of the facts.

 

"An old man, a junior lightweight and never the same after the Mayweather beating"

 

Fair enough. I was just thinking of JMM record. But If hatton did fight and beat bradley would he get the credit.:think

 

Bradley - Be interesting to see if he can do better than Witter

 

No doubt if Hatton beat any of them fighters, a lot of people on here would either say they are past it or they werent that good to begin with.

 

Bradley. Won't happen though, Bradley would beat the shite out of him at this stage.

 

I think Bradley or Khan would add the most. If he beat JMM then people would say he was shot anyway.

 

Bradley definitely
