Time to take matthew hatton seriously?

No, Lovemore beat him quite recently and got robbed.

 

He's done well to make it as far as he has. He's no top contender, but there's nothing wrong with that. I don't see the point in dissing a guy who's fighting for a paycheck just because he's doing it in his brother's shadow.

 

Feed him to Floyd Mayweather.

 

na he should have a couple of big domestic fights i.e. witter, jennings, brook etc

 

I think we need Herbzg's opinion in this thread.

 

bronco? mchart? that guy has to be 45 years old
get matton outta here

 

you dont make sense :huh

 

Hatton's not good, and I think he's about reached his ceiling at this point, but on resume he's certainly a top 20 welterweight right now. I don't see him beating Kell Brook though. And even old Junior Witter has a decent shot at beating him. And yes, I've seen each of his last 7 or so fights, including a couple that were on RTE instead of Sky.

 

witter is on the slide tho and his knee injury and age wont help him moving around and firing shots from weird angles and his power was never truly all that

IF matthew had a punch it could be a close fight - still think Junior would be faviourte but at this stage it might not be a forgone conclusion

 

kind of answered your own question here.

 

my question is if he beats witter and then brook, it is more rhetorical.

 

good post.

i put him 50/50 vs witter. and a big underdog vs brook. the truth is he is only a couple of victories away from a solid top ten ranking.
