Open challenge guys. I'm convinced that a prime Hatton stops Broner. If you pick the kid, then make your case... :bbb
This: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQdg8JSonM0[/ame] The KO would probably be in half the rounds because Broner probably has a little more power and way more aggressive.
He has more snap, not so much phyiscal strength. Mayweather could handle Hatton on the inside, Broner probably couldn't. Ricky's feet are quicker than what Broner has shown me, meaning he will struggle to dictate distance like Mayweather did, who was troubled himself.
:think I'll wait until I see Broner in with a pressure fighter closer to Hatton's caliber. I lean towards Ricky now, but it's early.
If you saw his last fight, Broner's got that "ring post move" down pat, already. And those straight rights that Floyd was catching him with... Broner's already better than Ricky ever was.
Until Broner proves himself to be close to as good as Floyd then you would have to favour Hatton. Just because he has the same style as Floyd doesn't make him as good, and so far we don't know how Broner will cope with a strong pressure fighter with fast feet who likely push him on the back foot. Floyds got better footwork to create distance Broner hasn't shown he can fight of the back foot yet.
I think that Broner has better feet than a 140 lb Hatton, and Hatton at the end of the day is VERY predictable with his attack. What made him great is that he is a non-stop brawler. If Broner could deal with the constant pressure (which we haven't seen yet), it's an easy fight for Broner. What I will say though, is that Hatton's been in that ring doing the same thing 47 times and lost to the two best fighters in his era, and has only been beaten once at 140. It would've been a killer fight to see, that's for sure.
I favor Hatton only because I haven't seen Broner at 140. With that said if Broner is the same guy he is at 135 that he is at 140 I would pick Broner.
