    This for me is the fight Hatton should take, the yanks are going on about Bradley but for me he is a little over rated, I think Hatton can do him and shut the mouths of the bad press he gets in America by whipping their next great hope.

    Marquez = Past it and not effective above 130 and was only semi effective at 135 so no point in this fight

    Urango = Are you joking

    Khan = Maybe but GBP won't let Khan fight anyone who has a chance of breaking an egg

    Bradley is a young, unbeaten and American... if he whips him and Bradley goes on to have a good career then Hatton's legacy will live on into his retirement

    Hatton's chances of beating Bradley are...reeeeally bad.

    I've only seen the Witter fight, and Bradley looked very good against an off form Witter. Even if he is overrated, which I can't really comment on, I don't think Hatton's got enough left to dethrone a top level fighter, I think even Khan would be too much for him at this stage. I think the guy should call it quits personally.

    Not really i think Bradley would win these days but Hatton hits harder is stronger and his fitness is always decent - im not sold on bradley at all i just think Hatton is faded from his best but he would have a chance

    There not, Bradley isnt a puncher, he got Witter on an off night, Holt shoulda beat him if he had a better work rate, nate is old and ****! Hes decent but hes waaaaaaaay overrated, americans hadnt heard of him be4 he fought witter!!

    I'd take Bradley at the moment, he's younger and fresher than Hatton and that counts for a lot the way those two fight.

    Both in their prime is one thing, but Bradley is simply too young, too hungry, too strong...too much of a younger Ricky Hatton, unlike Ricky Hatton.

    Personally think Hatton would turn a lot of heads in this fight. He got KO'd against a punch which would drop a horse against Pac, coming into the ring overtrained with a **** state of mind. His previous fight he destroyed Malignagi who is still one of the top guys at 140 and his only other lost was against Mayweather which was a move up in weight.

    Bradley was excellent against Peterson, boxed well on the back foot and had good movement.

    He would be a handful for Hatton.

    Bradley's speed would be the biggest problem for Rick. Winnable for Hatton though, very very tough fight in my opinion. Unfortunately id go for Bradley UD

    hatton struggles

    bradley has come on leaps and bounds since fighting witter, bradley is top man at 140 and im pretty sure hatton does not want part of that, hatton would prefer marquez i reckon
