    If Hatton loses to pac I'd love to see this. I actually give Bradley a chance. He's improving with every fight and I don't think Hatton could bully him like he does other fighters at the weight.

    bradley hasn't done anything to impress me yet, an relatively easy nights work for hatton. it's a good possibility of happening if hatton does lose to pac and doesn't fight jmm.

    Hatton would steamroll over Bradley.

    This fight will probably never happen. It would be a damn good fight if it ever came off though.

    This would be a STORMING fight at 140. I fancy Pac to beat Hatton, so I hope this is Ricky's next fight. I think it will be, because Bradley has the belts that will attract Hatton, and Hatton brings the fans and the money that will attract Bradley.

    hatton would walk through him... bradley doesn't have the power to negate hatton's come-forward style... would be a good fight early on though as bradley is always busy.

    Bradley is very strong, has fast hands, good head movement, and is a very good inside fighter. He might not be able to stop Hatton from charging foward, but he has the ability to beat Hatton on the inside and possibly may even be able to push Hatton around. The styles of these two would mesh very well. I highly doubt Hatton would walk through Bradley.

    you've highlighted bradley's best attributes... stength, hand speed and close fighting... however these are also hatton's strongest points... this is how he got to the top and he is better than bradley in all of these departments. there is no way that bradley could beat ricky at his own game at 140... no one in the world could.

    That's why I think it would be such a great fight.


    Bradley has better handspeed, and head movement. There's no way for you to say for sure who's stronger

    How do you know this? Mayweather is the only good inside fighter that Hatton faced and Floyd beat him up on the inside. It would've been no different if the fight was at 140, which is why Hatton refused to fight Mayweather when they were both at 140.

    This would be a great fight, 140 is a quality division. Hatton, Pac, Bradley, Holt, Torres, Urango, Ortiz, Campbell, Kotelnik, Witter, Judah and the guys that could move up like JMM and Valero. Some great fights to be made there.

    refused to fight him at 140? that makes sense... refuse him at your optimum weight but fight him at a weight which you know you're not as effective.:huh

    how do I know this?? what a strange question... I don't know for sure but that is my prediction seeing as hatton has done it to everyone else at 140.
    you keep sayin bradley may do this, bradley may do that... all ifs nothing concrete... here's one... if my auntie had bollocks she would be my uncle

    also imagine if hatton had been knocked down twice by kendall holt or someone of similar calibre... we certainly wouldn't be singing his praises and calling for him to fight an even bigger name.

    You didn't read what I read correctly. I said he refused to fight Mayweather when they were both at 140; meaning that in 2005 when Mayweather hadn't gone up to 147 yet, Hatton wouldn't fight him.

    What other good inside fighters has he went up against? Mayweather is the only good inside fighter that I can think of. You could say Castillo as well, but he was past it when Hatton faced him.

    The fight hasn't happened. Nothing is concrete. Any prediction is a guess.

    Kendell Holt was a top 5 JWW, and a world champion. He also can hit pretty hard as well. Bradley is now an undefeated, 2 belt champ who has defeated 2 top 5 JWWs(one of which Hatton did his best not to fight). He's done all of this at age 25. What had Hatton accomplished by that age? Who had Hatton beat by the time he fought Tszyu? You're crazy if you don't think Bradley has accomplished enough to deserve a fight with Hatton.
