    How does a prime Hatton do against the current crop of LWWs, particularly Bradley, Khan and Alexander?

    I fancy him to win against all three.

    Bradley - While a good counter puncher, doesnt have the power to keep Hatton off for 12 rounds. Ricky wears him down and stops him late on.

    Khan - His speed gives Hatton problems early on and nicks a few rounds. Hatton eventually catches him with a solid shot and knocks him out.

    Devon - Perhaps the toughest fight for Hatton. A long drawn out war ending in a close UD for Hatton IMO.

    Thoughts?

    Devon the hardest fight? :rofl Mate, did you watch the Kotelnik-Alexander fight? Hatton would rip through Alexander's defensive flaws.

    I dont think he'd KO Bradley, but from what i've seen I think he beats all of them.

    Two different fights altogether for me. Hatton steams in whereas Kotelnik doesnt. Hatton is also a lot more hittable than Kotelnik and could be caught on the way in

    Khan and alexander would probably be the hardest fight because of speed and power. Khan is a fast dude so i can see him giving hatton problems but i still see hatton winning.

    Eventually he'll catch khan and knock him out. Alexander would be more of a challenge because he has power and is quick not as fast as khan but he has some speed.

    I agree with you on bradley. He doesn't have the power to keep hatton away.

    I voted before i looked at your full post.

    at this moment he loses to all of them.

    in his prime he demolishes all of them.

    :good Idk about Khan yet though. Maybe I'm giving Khan too much credit.
    Devon will get the worse beat down of all of them though.

    Hatton at this moment:
    I see him lose decisions to Bradley and Khan
    but he wins VS Devon

    Prime Hatton schools them all!!

    Its interesting that a lot of people on here give Hatton of stick for being a hype job, yet the majority feel at his prime he beats all of the current lot. Double standards perhaps? Or arethe current lot just not that good?

    People are quick to change, Alexander is poor against Kotelnik, he's dropped from future P4P to a bum, Bradley moves up in weight, gives a decent performance, isnt that good, Khan....well, I dont have to explain Khan.

    Prime Hatton was a beast and would have beaten them all. Now he loses to all three

    prime hatton beats all 3 in my book. he has too much heart and pressure for khan and alexander to beat him. and vs bradley, well i dont think bradley hits hard enough to keep hatton away from him.

    hatton has underrated accuracy on the inside as well.

    in his prime he was very good, maybe not p4p top 5, but still a very good fighter who is competitive vs many lww's throughout history
