THIS... THE Hatton Mayweather fight was at 147.. we've only seen Broner at 135.. if Broner fights Garcia... Bam Bam... or Maidana at 140.. then we'll have a way better idea
Out of respect for Hatton, I won't say Broner. We've all been duped before, but Broner appears to be the real deal. Still, it's too early to tell.
Hatton, no question. Too fleet-footed and high-energy. He got inside on Floyd that way, he'd certainly get inside on Broner, and would grind him down.
Providing Cortez wasn't ref then Hatton wins it We never saw a prime 140 Hatton beaten, no reason to think Broner could, he hasn't shown he is good enough.
Hard to say because we've seen a Peak Hatton, but I don't think we've seen a peak Broner yet, so it's really an unfair question. However in the spirit of the question I'd have to go with a peak Hatton but only because what I've stated above. Broner is still a work in progress and despite his impressive victory over DeMarco, I'd like to see him show more of an ability to box. I love that he's willing to fight on the inside, but I would like to see if he can box a pressure fighter like a peak Hatton. What's crazy about you question is, there's a possibly we may see that fight, we obviously won't get a peak Hatton, but if Hatton looks good in his comeback fight, I can see Broner fighting him in a right of passage type of fight down the road.
Peak Hatton beat who? Old Tsyzu? Castillio? Broner flattens Ricky "The Get Hit Man" Hatton. It's irrefutable.....
