    pac said the punch he landed on ricky was the hardest shot he'd ever landed. no shame in getting dropped by that. however, his head needs to be in this 110% if he is to return. i dunno if it is. he said he wants another crack before he retires. okay...good...but how hungry is he? we'll see. bradley is young, strong and hungry...

    Hatton is hollow these days. I personally think Bradley would ruin him for good via brutal stoppage.

    Not Sure about that, Bradley's not stopped anyone for a while. This fight depends on how much Pac took out of Ricky and no one will really know till he steps in the ring again

    Well I still have some faith in Hatton. He has two defeats both at the hands of the p4p 1. Against Floyd and Manny he showed alot of courage. I have never seen Bradley fight before but he looks like he is pretty good everything I have read makes him seem very good. But I think Hatton has something in the tank, I know many would nt agree with me on this but I'm not sure if Bradley is really better than Hatton. Hatton was the reigning 140 champ for a long time until Manny came there for one fight. He is bigger than Bradley fights an inside smother kind of strategy. Bradley does not seem to have the kind of power it takes to get rid of Ricky so I give him alot of chances. If Hatton does not get rocked which I dont think he will he will have confidence to fight his fight and may win.

    Pacquiao didnt finish Hatton, but his ridiculous eating and drinking regimes outside of camp lead me to think Bradleys excellent stamina and volume punching as well as improved skills would be too much for Ricky.

    Bradley has been overated for some time now but I do feel he is improving with each fight. All depends how much Hatton has left, personally I think he's done. Bradley has speed, good chin and good boxing skills which would cause Hatton problems.

    Would have to say at this stage Bradley would box to a comfortable decision.

    it all depends how much hatton has lost, but i think he would still have enough to beat bradley even now. bradley's not a big puncher and you aren't going to stop hatton unless you hit fairly hard. i know pbf isn't a big puncher either, but it took him 10 rounds to stop hatton. the difference being that pbf is a defensive master and i think hatton would get to bradley, before hatton had taken too much punishment. it would certainly be bradley toughest opponent even at this stage of hattons career.

    it would be a great fight, with a lot to offer for both boxers, if hatton wins he's back on top and the man again at 140 (with the exception of pac) and if bradley wins he's got a big name scalp on his record, and would do his career a lot of good.

    if hatton is going to carry on, although i think he should retire, it's the fight he should make. it would also be bradleys biggest payday by far.

    witter??? right now bradley has fought better opponents in his early career than junior witter did his entire career. witters biggest win is again vivian harris...so how is witter worth a ****?
    hatton is one of the most overrated guys ever. while a good fighter..fact remains he didnt have a big fight until his 38th fight against an "old" kostya tszyu. beats the hall of famer in carlos mausser :rofl , the 17-0 juan urango, "LOST" to Luis Collazo....beat 65 fight and worn out old jl castillo, kod by mayweather, beats juan lazcano, feather fisted paulie m, and kod by former junior flyweight in 2 rounds the pac man.
    bradley OWNS hatton and ricky will never see round 9......hatton has a whopping 7 fights in the last 5 years...losing 2 out of his last 4...he doesnt even deserve to be in the ring at this point with a guy like bradley....

    LOL. Hatton beat Bradley? No way. Bradley by complete domination and I could see a late stoppage here.

    so would bradley (or any other fighter for that matter) be 4 wins out of 4 if two of the fighters they faced were pbf and as you call him "the former flyweight" pac? lol of course he wouldn't so that's a moot point and you know it.

    would bradley have beaten that "old koysta" that night? not a chance. would he have beaten collazo? i doubt it.
    there's no saying bradley would have beat the 5' 11" and very awkward maussa.
    urango has the potential to ko anyone.
    and that "worn out" castillo was as good even at that stage as anyone bradley has beat, bradley certainly wouldn't have stopped him in 4 rounds like hatton did.

    he destroyed paulie in the fight before pac and he was considered the #1 contender at 140 at that point, it's laughable that you say he doesn't deserve to be in the ring with bradley. bradley although deserving to be currently rated as one of the top fighters at 140, hasn't done much yet, although he's still young and has a lot of fights in front of him.

    Bradley would handle Hatton with ease. Would have been an intriguing fight if it was the 2006/2007 Hatton.

    bottom line is hattons biggest win came against a 37 year old inactive kostya tszyu and he was shut out against PBF until he was knocked out...and was just WRECKED by pacman... so yeah he has 2 losses against pound for pound the best...but he looked like utter crap against both....
    as for beating up paulie m....while i enjoyed that...paulies biggest wins are against juan diaz, a junior light weight....i like hatton...im a fan, but the guy is way overrated on here....

    Maybe but he did get dropped twice before that and KOed by Floyd who isn't a big puncher.

    Hatton's chin is weak now. Bradley KOs him. Mainly bc Ricky has no defense and as fast as Bradley is he will hit him with everything he throws.

    Bradley by TKo stoppage in the 7the round. Ref stops it because of the barrage Bradley is hitting Hatton with and Tim drops him with the last shot ala Mosley/Margarito.
