Hatton vs the current 140lbers

p.s whats the point of mentioning hatton now there's now way he's coming back now. weighs 80-90kg

 

among the top 4 i think he beats Bradley and Alexander pretty handily. Maidana has a chance to KTFO him just because the guy is a ****ing pro at trading in a hitting match. Khan might be able to outbox him and clown him for 12 but he could also get his **** rocked, so there's that.

 

I got the point of your post completely, brought back the Hatton hype days,
I was referring that comment to the people who mentioned that the current 140's would destroy Hatton in his present state

prime 4 prime Hatton would beat them all, Hatton-Maindana now that would be great one for the fight fans

 

prime hatton would win against all of them.via sd ud tko or whatever.he will win.

 

this +1

 

In his prime.
He beats Khan and Alexander for sure.
Bradley would be a toss-up.

 

A prime Hatton had head movement, amazing stamina and a good chin, a lot of things that didnt seem paticularly present in his last few fights, that prime version of Hatton would beat all the top current 140lb fighters, no doubt at all.

 

A prime Hatton would lose a competative UD to Bradley, a wide UD to Khan (but theres always a possibility he finds that chin) and beats Alexander senseless.

 

I don't see it that way. Bradley's better at nip and tuck on the inside than Hatton is and a hell of a lot better than Alexander and Khan, his conditioning is superb and he has good powers of recovery when he's hurt. He's also the first guy I've seen in I don't know how long who can fight aggressively on the bounce. Not saying Hatton wouldn't win necessarily, but I think from purely a styles standpoint Bradley's the tougher challenge next to Alexander and Khan. I can see Hatton tearing him up in Manchester where he was allowed to get away with an awful lot but in a bout where the referee doesn't take any **** I can see it being very competitive, that's how I see it at the moment, we don't know Bradley's limits yet.

I thought Bradley beat Witter comfortably even without the knockdown, and I'm one of the seeming few who really like Witter.

 

yeah but Witter was a shadow of his former self by then, it was that fight that confirmed he was done, he was slow, lacked pop, movement was poor. A Witter from 2 years previous would have comfortably handled Bradley

 

Not quite, Hatton struggled with Collazo at 147 and it showed he had no business in that division. He peaked just before Tszyu.

 

Agreed. I was a big Hatton fan before his fight with Tszyu. He was a merciless body puncher with much better movement and a much more swarming style than when he fought Tszyu and after, when he started his wrastlin and got away from body punching. He and Cotto were both the best body punchers in that time. Shame Ricky got away from it.

I always thought Sharmba Mitchell would have given him a helluva fight though, would have loved to have seen that.
