Beristain: "There is a big possibility the Hatton/Marquez fight will happen"

Makes sense for JMM from a money point of view, I was hoping Hatton would go for Bradley (actually I was hoping he'd retire).

 

I hope its at Light Welter and not at Welter again, although seeing Hatton these days doesn't raise my expectations.

 

Styles. I think a loss to JMM wouldn't tell you that Hatton is finished, it could be attributed to styles. If Hatton can't beat Bradley then its pretty clear cut that he doesn't have it any more, if he does beat him then he's clearly still got a lot left.

 

maybe they'll go for catchweights at 142 just to be fashionable?

 

Prime Hatton beats the best version of Bradley that I've seen so far so its very good measuring stick as to how much Hatton has left. Do disagree?

Yeah, I understand that it'll probably suit both Hatton and JMM to fight each other.

 

Marquez by mid-late stoppage. Hatton just doesn't look particularly well these days and I think a comeback would be futile, unfortunately.

 

Its hard to tell what Hatton has left. The Pac fight was too short to tell us much and the Paulie fight was a good style match up for Hatton.

That the best part of a year with no decent 'form'.

I'll go with the general rule that pressure fighters go rapidly downhill in their late 20s.

 

If Hatton was to win this, am I right in saying it would be bigger that the Kostya Tszyu win?

 

depends if he won legitimately or not, because he sure as hell didn't against Tyszu.
Hatton is clearly a bigger guy that JMM, but I still pick the elite level Mexican to clean Wicky's clock.

 

He's awake :good

 

Marquez deserves to makie so big money. Big money fight for he and Hatton. Hatton does not really need the money now though.
