Great fight for Bradley, a complete soul breaker for Hatton, they guys done, he should stick to promoting.
ricky v jmm will happen especially since he turned down the khan fight they know khan will box safe against dance around jmm ricky will stand there and have a dust up which gives jmm a chance :bbb
Hatton beating Bradley was laughable when people posted about it B4 and after the Mayweather fight. Since then it has become a ridiculous idea to even contemplate. Ricky would have trouble with Donaire .. retirement is the only thing left. He can't take a punch anymore and he can't avoid them either. Time to start opening restaurants and pubs .. he simply has taken too many clean shots now.
Bradley vs. Hatton right now would play out EXTREMELY close to the pattern of Calzaghe vs. Lacy. The slow puncher swarming in, and the far superior but light-hitting technician just backfooting and smacking the ever-loving **** out of him for 12 rounds. It would be like payback.
This post just proves just how vastly underrated Hatton is on these forums. Donaire? Jesus ****ing Christ get ****ing real. atsch So, are you telling me Pacquiao hits like a *****? Does Pacquiao hit like a *****!? That's the only fight where Hatton got destroyed. It took Mayweather 10 rounds, 150 punches about 100 of them were power punches and about 100 elbows. Lazcano hammered Hatton with a picture perfect left hook and Hatton survived and didn't go down. Thank God Hatton beat Paulie otherwise ****ing morons like you would say Paulie would KO Hatton. BOT, Hatton is done and probably would get stopped by Bradley at this point. Hatton is on the downside while Bradley is peaking.
Bradley on points. What do you think Ricky's gonna' look like after comin' all the way back to 140...again? Ricky from 3-5 years ago? Meh...60/40...this Ricky? :roll: fuggedaboutit...
Hatton really doesn't need to be fighting anyone like Bradley, who's on a hot streak and is arguably one of the best fighters pound for pound. Pacquaio is the only fighter i could see beating Bradley at 140 right now. Hatton wouldn't be able to handle Bradley s hand or foot speed, and the way his chin has been looking in recent fights, he would probably be stopped as well.
Wow. Look at the lambasting dished out just over a year ago at my suggestion that Bradley had eclipsed Hatton as a head to head 140lb fighter (now pretty much consensus among the sensible). http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106132
I am a fan of Hatton, and i think he is a real, real good fighter, and would pick him to beat out most everyone at 140..... But I think Bradley is just too much for Hatton at this point....
