    I picked Hatton over Malignaggi but I have to go for Bradley here in a close 1. Bradley who I think is the better schooled boxer, superior defensively, and quicker, in his prime and plus a top talent for the future

    Witter was told his father was suffering from cancer. The news on the grapevine is that a full recovery is anticipated :good

    Bradley deserved a UD rather than an SD, but I would back Witter in a rematch.

    To beat Hatton you need something different - Bradley is no different to anything he hasn't dealt with before, and would lose a clear but competitive UD ala Calzaghe vs Kessler.

    Hatton vs Witter intrigues me, however, as a Brit. The smart money would be on Hatton late stoppage.

    Exactly.

    Actually, even this doesn't fully describe the absolute mismatch, uncompetitive, blowout of a one sided beating this would be. Nobody can touch Hatton at 140, nobody.

    still no answer on why he thinks hatton would lose this and which bradley fights he's seen . my guess is at best, 1 , at worst none at all.

    I bet those who voted Bradley would think again if they had to put $500 on it!!

    I picked Hatton to beat the crap out of Paulie, and I'm picking Bradley in this fight.

    He has great handspeed, good jab, footwork and can counter. He also has a great chin and excellent stamina. He has the type of style that could give Hatton problems. He's very underrated here he knocked down Witter and took his belt when no one gave him chance. Bradley has the best chance of beating Hatton than anyone at 140.

    No I would not. I wouldn't bet that much money on this fight. But if I had to bet the $500, I would bet it on Bradley.

    Hatton would take Bradley to places he's never been before. Hatton UD/KO

    Bradley is more skilled than Paulie his offense is much better and defense plus he has more pop. He's also stronger and has a better chin in the sense he doesn't get stunned as easy he took some good shots from Witter and who can crack and wasn't phased. Before the Paulie-Hatton fight I would have picked Bradley to beat Paulie.
