Tszyu Collazo Castillo These are s*** I take it ??? Please . If you dont take to a fighter that is fair enough , but to discredit a champion is ignorant.
Bradley. Stylewise Bradley is just not the kind of fighter Hatton would ever be able to beat. He's a technical counter puncher similar to Floyd Mayweather with quick hands and feet. Hatton has no advantage, he's not technically sound as he comes in face first and is easy to hit, and his chin isn't as good either, not to mention Bradley is just as good at dirty infighting as he is. I just don't see how Hatton would have anything to bring to the table. Hatton stylewise would have had a better chance against Mayweather at 140 than Bradley.
Hatton was good but Hatton has what to stop Bradley? Not only would he have to worry about the headbutts but the counter punches, the jab, Bradley has everything you need to beat a guy like Hatton.
I disaree with most of this buddy. Bradley does not resemble Mayweather at-all. The 140lb version of Floyd has an easier time with Hatton than the 147lb one IMO.
Have you ever watched Bradley box? Hatton didn't have more speed, he might have had more power but Bradley has a better chin, and Bradley has superior technique and is hard to hit anyway so what will happen? It would be similar to the Mayweather fight only it would go 12 because Bradley doesn't have power.
Bradley resembles Mayweather in that he's a highly technical counterpunching boxer. He lacks Mayweathers power and his defense isn't as good, but he has the speed, the footwork, and superior ring IQ to Hatton and most importantly Bradley is hard to hit clean. I think this is why Bradley can beat Pacquiao. Bradley throws a lot of punches, hits his opponents a lot, but has good defense and is hard to hit. Someone like Hatton wouldn't be able to land clean. And I disagree. Floyd won by KO not by points. I think at 140 it would have went 12 rounds and would have been a decision but a tough fight. I think Bradley would go 12 and would win by decision.
Boxing is hit and don't get hit. Hatton liked to get hit and Bradley doesn't like to get hit. Bradley is damn hard to hit even Peterson couldn't cleanly hit him. Devon Alexander is faster than Hatton and he couldn't hit him.
Different opinions...I like it Also remember Bradley, even tho he gets KD, his recouperative poweris excellent
I do like Bradley but i think his boxing skills alone would not be able to keep Hatton off him and with a lack of power in his punching it wouldnt matter too much that Hatton would be pretty easy to hit on his way in. His stalking, attacking and inside work would win him the rounds. Bradley doesnt hit anywhere near as hard as Pacquiao and is skillfull but not nearly as skillfull as Mayweather who outboxed and set Hatton up a right treat. Ive always considered Hatton to be underrated by alot of boxing fans just because of his style, it wasnt clean are flash but he was about as good as anybody using that style ever could be. He was a world class brawler and it took world class boxer to beat him, anytihng less than elite boxing skills didnt seem to be able to beat world class brawling
How would Hatton win on points if he gets hit more than the other guy? Basic math and styles should tell you who will win.
Sorry man , I know this is a Saturday and a day of chilling , but Bradley is a short armed come forward figher and so different from Mayweather it is untrue. Hattons hand and foot speed is so far above that of Bradley , in his prime he also had a much better chin. Kendal Holt dropped him twice coming straight forward, not exactly the traits of a slick counter puncher. Right now Manny needs a fight to build his confidence after the JMM fight and therefore a come forward fighter like Bradley is perfect. He is not a counter puncher period. peace.
