This would be a fun fight. Because both bring it and nether has an advantage so great to totally dominate the other. I know it is the in thing to put Hatton down, but I like this fight. I think Hatton could be hell for Bradley on the inside because he is stronger IMO. But I think Bradley's versatility and defense and footwork could be hell for the often unsound Hatton. Fun fight though.
i agree with you. i think Rickey Hatton went from sightly overrated to vastyly underrated.... Thats why i put this up cause i think they are about on par.. But if picked to choose a winner id just barely lean towards Bradley.
I think Hatton will have an easy time with Bradley. He faced a fighter with a better skill set compared to Bradley (Mayweather), and was giving him a hard time before he was stopped. Hatton UD 12 over Bradley.
EASY??? No way ? Bradley would hold his own with most atgs in a hth matchup.. Now your either underrating Bradley or over rating Hatton.. Dont know how long youve been watching boxing, but comparing how fighter A did agaist Fighte B has nothing to how they would matchup with fighter C... Styles make fights.
I think Hatton would pound out a decision over Bradley. They're pretty evenly-matched, but Hatton showed me more in the Tszyu fight than I've ever seen from Bradley.
Yes i was thinking the same thing when comparing him, but on the other side Bradley has more wins over Prime top guys in his division.. .. I thik Bradleys accumalation of beating top guys back to back to back should also count for something.
In a p4p sense they do, but not in an h2h sense, and this is an h2h thread. You could argue whether or not Bradley is close to Hatton in terms of p4p accomplishment at 140, but in my opinion Bradley hasn't looked as dominant/impressive in his best performances as Hatton did.
Hatton all day, Bradley doesnt have the punching power of a Pacman, i dont see Bradley troubling Hatton at all, Hatton would grind him down. Hatton is no ATG, but he is terribly underrated around here, His style may not have been pretty but it was effective, just like Bradleys watermelon head.
True, but Bradley is feather fisted and im sure people remember Hattons body shots against Castillo. Hatton would maul Bradley
hatton cuts easily and we all know about bradley's headbutts so the fight could end prematurely because of an "accidental" headbutt.
Join the rest of us back on planet Earth whenever you're ready. How the hell is a guy who spent time in rehab for drink/drug problems going to come back and outfight a younger, fresher physical phenom like Bradley???
Hatton would win this, not easily but in his prime hed of just walked through Bradley and beat him up.
