    Hatton needs to clear up. He can spend the next year clearing up. He'll blatently wait on dlh cos dlh makes everyone his *****, even if they earn good money like ricky.

    Well, he's going to fight the winner of Torres/Holt next. So you'll get to find out more about him. I'm watching the Witter fight again. This guy has excellent handspeed, a tight defense, and is a damn good counterpuncher. It's a shame he and Hatton will probably never fight. I think it would be a hell of a fight.

    Hatton would give him more opportunities than Witter, even though Hatton likely poses more problems with his own more aggressive style.

    I hear ya, but its the same with any pick when there is an established guy and an underdog that is less proven - I'm gonna take the plunge on this one in the unlikely event it happens just as I will if Lopez fights Vasquez. Not many saw Pavlik upsetting Taylor's applecart the first time, the fights are never won on paper.

    Experience is an issue, granted but I'm not sure Hatton is that smart even with the experience he should have gained. He still makes the same mistakes he always did, and has only just started to try and rectify them going on 30. That isn't a smart fighter.

    i don't know, hatton's been speaking recently about fighting for the next couple of years, that's at least 4 fights. if bradley beats the torres/holt winner it's a very meaningful fight and if bradley builds a bit of a name and support, i wouldn't be suprised if the fight was made.

    The fight would be great. Before I saw Hatton training with Floyd Sr and his display last saturday I would have picked Bradley 7 days a week and twice on sunday (what can I say, I though he was done). But Hatton looked good last saturday night and matching him up with Bradley would be very interesting. There are some factor which prevent me from picking a winner, but if I had to say something, for now I would say Hatton.

    Not much support for Bradley. Here's Bradley talking about a potential fight between the two;

    I'm in the minority here but i think Bradley is the one guy who CAN beat Hatton. Unlike Malignaggi, who i thought was slick/cagey, Bradley truly is that slick/cagey guy with some pop who can fight off the back foot effectively and regulary time Hatton coming in.

    He's a damn good counterpuncher as well. He's definately been watching old James Toney fights.

    I really don't think hatton is in danger of doing serious damage to anyone....he mauls people....rarely landing flush power shots...that being said he is damn tuf to beat and i would def think he can and would beat bradley

    I like Bradley but i dont see him beating Hatton,
    he looked good against Witter who hadnt looked good
    in the fights before the fight, and also looked poor in his last fight,
    so its fair to assume he is shot, and although he won clearly he wasnt impressive against Cherry, I just dont think he beats Hatton, to be fair,
    I think Witter may be able to actually beat Bradley in a rematch.

    You assume Witter is shot yet you pick Witter to win a rematch? And how was Bradley not impressive against Cherry? I thought it was a damn good performance.

    Bradley also traveled to the UK for that fight. He would have looked better in his hometown. Bradley surely had somethign to do with Witter looking as bad a s he did.

    I however, dont see Bradley beating Hatton.
