    The Hatton that beat Tsyzu destroys everyone outside Khan, who due to his height, power and speed might blitz Hatton. If Hatton comes back the way he left, he still beats Bradley IMO. Just a better fighter.

    Hatton in his prime , just before Tszyu stops all the 140 champs , and some like alexander would get ripped apart.

    Even a prime Hatton would struggle IMO.

    Hatton is a Glass Jawed Brit his punch resistance is gone. He would get seriously hurt if he were to return.

    People underate Pre Tsyzu Hatton way too much, the guy was an animal and would just run right through everything you thew at him. He was relentless

    Prime Hatton UD's Bradley and stops Khan easily by KO, a lot more pressure than Madiana and Knans body and chin will take a hammering. The only way Khan is comtetative is if he runs all night throwing that jab and pot shotting cos Hatton is way too strong on the inside

    a peak hatton is very underrated,it's too bad that he didnt take care of himself more, he used to have an iron chin but by the time of the pac fight his punch resistance and stamina had gone downhill. I hope he doesn't try a comeback now because he'd be a shell of his former self. prime for prime he definitely beats bradley, he's stronger, hit a lot harder, was very quick on his feet and wouldn't be bullied by bradleys headbutts. he always had flaws but the lwws now wouldn't have beaten him imo

    thats easy to say when hatton was fighting under warren.

    talented fighters beating b grade opponents and faded champs always looks good.

    hatton deserves props for the tszyu win but, remember, tszyu left warren to find out how good he was.....

    Perfect example of people over-rating prime Hatton.

    Prime Hatton I think loses to Bradley, and it's 50/50 with Khan and Maidana.

    If he came back now, he'd probably be a junior middle. I know he always puts on a ton of weight between fights, but damn, he doesn't look like a boxer the slightest bit.

    If 'prime' Hatton isn't allowed to rabbit punch, excessively hold/wrestle, and generally isn't permitted by the ref to use his customary dirty tactics - then Bradley UD's him and Maidana knocks him out.

    Hatton could never make 140 now and still be healthy
