    This fight is bigger than a hatton vs any champion at 140 not name pacquiao.
    hatton vs bradley is probably the best fight but bradley is not a big name yet.

    how about the long awaited hatton -witter fight?

    Overrated my ass! Bradley is one of the few champs to take on fellow titlist and top contenders back to back. His performances are superb. I cannot think of any reason how he could be overrated. No one is exactly claiming he's an ATG.

    hatton is possibly the most overrated, most overhypped, worst boxer, worst toe-to-toe fighter of all time

    so how do you say his stamina and condition has seriously depleted when the last time i saw him fight the distance, he ****en dominated malignaggi and did not slowed down?

    id love to see him and cotto at wembley. if he's coming back at welterwieght why not. cotto vs hatton and the winner gets a name of a top fighter from their era. i dont think anyone could pick this fight to be anything else but a great fight. cotto wanting 2 fights before the year is over and hatton trying to make one last run. 1 man trying to cement the roughest legacy of the bunch from his class and the other trying to make a last run for glory. better then marquez in my opinion.

    I'd love to see the fight, because it promise a lot of action, but I don't think thats the way Hatton would want to go out. I think Cotto would maul him.

    Exactly Mayweahter knocked him out , Lazcano would have stopped him if not foe the ref and the Pac wiped him out with one shot. its only the blip of the Malignaggi fight and Paulie couldn't hurt my gran so...

    Its not just his punch resistance though his stamina , which was his greatest asset has taken a pounding and will only be worse after a big lay off and a big weight gain.

    Look at is this way were it not for the untied shoelace hatton would have been stopped in 3 of his last 4 !

    I watched Hatton plenty as a young man and beleive me its obvius to anyone who cares to look that his stamina is on the slide.

    Malignaggis complete lack of fire power was the mitigating factor !

    Anyhow the fight will probably go ahead , Hatton will smoked and I'll say I told you so :D
