    Hatton could land a Castillo-esque body shot and pull it out. However I would flag that possibility as remote and favor the generally accepted outcome--Margarito's size, strength, and volume allow him to break Ricky down before the final bell.

    I think a big pressure fighter beats a smaller pressure fighter. Hatton didnt look as great at 147 as he did at 140 and I think margarito would be too much for him and force a stoppage

    Hatton was a very small 147 Margarito runs him over. Can't even see Hattin making it to the 6th round

    I agree that in an alternative universe without beer, bangers and mash Hatton would have been a better, or at least a more fit boxer. But that universe doesn't exist, sad to say.

    Hatton was better but Margarito bigger and the style match favors him heavily. He’d break Hatton down and stop him late.
