    Someone mentioned in the other thread how much better Hatton fared against Alvarez than Rhodes.

    So, who takes it?

    Rhodes stops him late on, Hattons work rate will have some effect early but Rhodes skill will tell in the end.

    Hatton would not fight Rhodes at 154. I would back Rhodes.

    I think Rhodes has enough left to take it on points. The 2 performances against Alvarez don't count for much (anything!) here IMHO.

    Go for Rhodes on points, Just think his style would be hard for Hatton who lacks a lot in speed and head movement. Ryan would also hurt him with his punches and could see a similar brave display from Hatton who sees the final bell.

    Rhodes for me in this...:yep

    He has too much savvy, hits hard and would do the weight a lot better...:yep

    Rhodes by TKO in the Championship Rounds...:deal

    No way Ricky would take this fight, Rhodes stops Matt before 8th

    Rhodes takes this, probably on points Hatton has a decent chin and enough experience to last the distance IMO.

    Don't know if Rhodes would be able to stop Hatton and getting a decision on a Hatton card could be a problem.
